Description
QuestShock brings the 1994 cyberpunk classic System Shock to your Meta Quest, running entirely on the headset - no PC, tethering, or streaming required.
The engine renders its original flat 2D frame, shown on a large virtual screen floating in front of you in VR - not a stereoscopic remake. Point at it with either controller like a mouse, or use the built-in VR menu and on-screen keyboard.
Features
- Fully remappable controls - every controller button, thumbstick direction, and game hotkey (weapon select, MFD panels, save/load, and more) can be bound to any action from the in-headset Controller Options menu
- Free look - hold a mapped grip/button to look around freely with a thumbstick
- A dedicated cyberspace control scheme, with proportional pitch and bank on the sticks
- A Cheats menu - give all items, toggle physics, change level, and four independent unlimited-resource switches (health, energy, ammo, items)
- Configurable virtual screen size and distance, set separately for menus and gameplay
- English, French, and German, including localized intro cutscenes
- A persistent, human-editable config file for every setting above
You need your own copy of the game
QuestShock does not include System Shock's game data. You'll need:
- System Shock: Enhanced Edition (e.g. from GOG)
- Launch QuestShock once - it creates a
/sdcard/QuestShock/folder on your headset - Copy that game's
res/data/andres/sound/folders into/sdcard/QuestShock/res/ - Launch QuestShock again
