Originally a breakout hit on mobile and Flash with more than 25 million players worldwide, Interlocked now evolves into a fully realized VR experience, blending tranquil island landscapes with tactile, three-dimensional burr puzzles.

A Hands-On Puzzle Experience in VR

At its core, Puzzle Islands features more than 30 carefully curated burr puzzles designed by real-world puzzle creators. Using intuitive hand gesture controls, players twist, rotate, and separate interlocking pieces just as they would with a physical wooden puzzle.

The VR format enhances the tactile illusion, giving each puzzle a sense of weight and presence that mirrors real-life problem-solving. For those seeking an extra layer of difficulty, 13 brand-new challenge puzzles debut exclusively in this version.

Relaxation Meets Mental Gymnastics

Beyond the puzzles themselves, Interlocked: Puzzle Islands leans into atmosphere. Players solve brainteasers in a cozy, liminal space accompanied by a soothing, ambient soundtrack. A small bird companion grows alongside your progress, adding a light narrative thread that gently ties the journey together as you explore the mysterious islands.

Creator Ido Tal, known as Puzzle Dev, has long aimed to recreate the feel of authentic burr puzzles in digital form. With VR technology now capable of delivering that tactile sensation, Puzzle Islands represents the most immersive iteration of the concept yet.

Interlocked: Puzzle Islands launches March 24 on Meta Quest with English language support for $11.99 USD, offering a calming yet mentally engaging escape for VR puzzle fans.

If you’ve ever wanted to walk through a poem or sit among storytellers from around the world, VERSE VR delivers just that—and more. Fresh off its premiere at the UploadVR Summer Showcase, Lofty Sky Entertainment has officially released Verse VR, an artistic and meditative virtual reality journey that’s now live on Meta Quest (Deluxe Edition), PC VR, and Steam.

This isn’t a game in the traditional sense—it’s a celebration of spoken word, visual art, music, and cultural storytelling, all wrapped in a peaceful, richly detailed VR experience.

Explore the World Through Verse

Verse VR guides you through eight beautifully crafted environments, each inspired by a different culture’s poetic and artistic heritage. Whether you’re sitting beneath cherry blossoms with Tang Dynasty poets, listening to the myth of Mali Sadio from West African griots, or unwinding to classical music in a Victorian greenhouse, every space is filled with meaning—and something to discover.

Hotspots within each landscape trigger poems, songs, illustrations, and original music. You’re not solving puzzles here—you’re soaking in atmosphere and letting the world unfold around you.

Key Features:

28 Illustrated Poems/Songs (39 in the Deluxe Edition)

17 Original Tracks from traditional Chinese, West African, and Middle Eastern artists

8 Diverse Realms to explore, including:

• Tang Hall & Orchid Pavilion Garden (China)

• West African Village & River Market

• Orphalese, inspired by Kahlil Gibran’s works

• Temple of Apollo, the Victorian Conservatory, and a Butterfly Garden

Premium Visuals available on Steam and tethered PC VR

Perfect for relaxation, inspiration, or cultural discovery

A Global Collaboration

Created with help from artists and organizations around the world—including Batuki Music Society and traditional Malian griots—Verse VR is an experience rooted in authenticity. It’s a rare chance to hear, see, and feel traditions from communities and regions often underrepresented in games and VR.

“Verse VR is an immersive journey through poetry, music and oral traditions from cultures around the world,” says Judith Cheung, Creative Director at Lofty Sky.

“Most people never get a chance to hear the songs and stories of my culture,” adds Thierno Soumaré of Batuki Music Society. “But for Verse VR, we worked with traditional Malian griots to bring those experiences to life.”

Available Now

• Meta Quest (Deluxe Edition)

• PC VR (Meta)

• Steam (PC VR)

If you’re looking for something unique to unwind with—something thoughtful, beautiful, and culturally rich—Verse VR deserves a spot in your headset.

Time to revisit the memories that shaped a friendship. Developer The Voxel Agents is bringing a deeply emotional reimagining of their award-winning puzzle adventure The Gardens Between to VR with Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between, launching August 7, 2025 on Meta Quest and SteamVR.

Announced during the UploadVR Showcase, this expanded version isn’t just a port—it’s a heartfelt deep dive into childhood bonds, now made more intimate and immersive through the lens of virtual reality and Mixed Reality.

A New Perspective on an Old Friendship

Two decades have passed since Arina and Frendt’s original journey. Now, as Frendt sorts through his belongings during another move, he stumbles across a diary belonging to Arina. That discovery pulls him—and players—back into The Gardens Between, only this time, guided by Arina’s memories.

Hidden Memories reframes the story through new eyes, delivering more than 40 fresh puzzles, new dreamlike environments, and meaningful object interactions—no prior experience with the original game required.

Time-Bending Puzzles, Brought to Life With Your Hands

Just like the original, you’ll guide Arina and Frendt across surreal island landscapes, solving puzzles by manipulating time forward and backward. But in VR, those mechanics come alive through real-time hand gestures. Adjust time by simply moving your hands, bring scattered memories back into focus, and interact with dreamlike objects in personal, tactile ways.

Draw with paintbrushes. Snap toy parts into place. Craft colorful friendship bracelets. These simple, nostalgic moments build a deeply emotional experience as players explore themes of memory, growing up, and the unspoken bonds between friends.

Twice the Content, Twice the Emotion

This isn’t just a visual update—Hidden Memories doubles the narrative depth of the original, presenting new sequences, intimate diary entries, and a full set of new puzzles woven into the original framework. Players will also get to explore the story’s emotional core from a fresh perspective as Frendt experiences Arina’s inner world for the first time.

“Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between pays homage to precious friendships we hold near and dear to our hearts,” says Simon Joslin, co-founder of The Voxel Agents. “We’re ecstatic to finally share the release date with fans and can’t wait for you to see this world in a whole new light—only achievable through the magic of Virtual and Mixed Reality.”

Coming August 7 to VR Platforms

Whether you’re returning to The Gardens Between or stepping into it for the first time, Hidden Memories invites you to slow down, reflect, and experience the past through an entirely new lens.

Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between launches August 7, 2025, on Meta Quest and SteamVR.

The premise is simple (and ridiculous): the cops are on their way, you’ve got four minutes, and poor Gus is very, very dead. Your job? Hide the body. By any means necessary.

Drag, Drop, Disguise

In Hide the Corpse, you’ll frantically drag Gus across a series of themed rooms, each packed with physics-based props, hiding spots, and interactive mayhem. From a retro diner to a cramped apartment to a sleek museum full of priceless distractions, you’ll have to use your surroundings—and your creativity—to keep Gus out of sight and suspicion.

Oh, and it gets weirder:

• Hide him on a zero-gravity spaceship, letting physics do some of the dirty work.

• Or head underwater to a sunken ship, where evidence floats (or sinks).

Along the way, you’ll need to destroy evidence, wipe fingerprints, and make sure no one finds anything that could link you to the scene.

Corpse Couture & Gassy Chaos

Yes, you can dress up the body. Spend points earned by erasing evidence to unlock a wardrobe of ridiculous corpse costumes:

• Go full retro with a Disco suit

• Turn Gus into a superhero (or villain)

• Or embrace the irony with Zombie attire

Want even more chaos? Activate Modifiers like Gas Crisis, where Gus becomes a human (er… corpse) balloon, using his, uh… “propulsion” to fly around the stage.

“We’re thrilled that our supportive community loves Hide the Corpse — their positive feedback has empowered us to continue to expand Gus’ world with updates and new platforms,’’ said Eneko Barandiaran, Publishing Manager at HyperVR Games. “We can’t wait to invite PlayStation VR players to join the corpse-hiding party next month!”

Mark Your (Crime) Calendars

Hide the Corpse launches on PlayStation VR2 on August 18, priced at $14.99 USD. The game is already available for Meta Quest, and a SteamVR version is on the way.

If physics-fueled slapstick stealth is your thing—and you’ve always wondered if you could hide a body in a diner booth—this one’s for you.

Check out Hide the Corpse on the PlayStation Store and Meta Quest Store now.

Armed with DeGauntlets, you’ll battle through hellish landscapes like Poison Blossom Park and the Ultimate Demon Derby. With intuitive mixed reality controls, you’ll duck, weave, and smash your way through enemies like Brimstone Bikers, Hellfire Hooligans, and Infernites. Persistence is key, and by consistently engaging in these demon-busting workouts, you’ll level up, unlock cosmetics, and climb the leaderboards—all from the comfort of your living room.

Vyersoft founder Matt Conn emphasizes the importance of developing a healthy routine, and with Exercise Your Demons! and its story-driven gameplay, the goal is to make regular fitness both fun and effective.

Priced at $19.99, Exercise Your Demons! is coming soon. Be sure to wishlist it on the Meta Quest Store and follow Vyersoft on X/Twitter and Facebook to stay updated. You can also visit the company website to learn more.
