In Space Control, you’ve been abducted by a suspiciously upbeat intergalactic megacorporation and saddled with a debt that—technically—isn’t even yours. The only way out? Work it off. Alongside your alien coworkers, you’ll abduct new recruits, manage alien daycare duties, and cook up questionable snacks at corporate events that probably violate several galactic health codes.

The game unfolds across three episodic chapters set within a vibrant, cartoon-styled space station. Each episode introduces a different “job” inside Glorpo Inc.’s strange corporate ecosystem. You’ll step into the Abductorium to recruit fresh talent (willing or not), handle childcare in the alien Daycare, and help run the GlorpoVision Music Festival with some truly bizarre culinary creations.

Throughout it all, you’ll be joined by a colorful cast of alien companions—Melody, Widgett, and Zorgle—as well as your AI assistant Sydra, who’s always within reach (literally on your wrist). Expect plenty of offbeat humor and satirical jabs at corporate culture as you try to climb the interstellar ladder.

Space Control leans heavily into physics-driven VR interaction. Nearly everything in the environment can be grabbed, tossed, tugged, bounced, or otherwise messed with, encouraging players to embrace the chaos. The tone draws inspiration from animated sci-fi comedies like Futurama and Rick and Morty, delivering a colorful dystopia packed with absurd humor.

The voice cast features talent with credits in major franchises including The Legend of Zelda, Genshin Impact, Marvel Rivals, and The Amazing Digital Circus, alongside appearances from popular VR content creators Whackycast, SmashingVR, Jordan Antle (PapaFearGaming), and Fynnpire.

The Space Control demo is available now as part of Steam Next Fest, offering a first look at its interactive, physics-heavy gameplay and irreverent space-station storytelling. The full release is slated for Early Q2 2026 on Meta Quest and Steam.

If you’ve ever wanted to clock in at the weirdest corporation in the galaxy, now’s your chance to start working off that debt.

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.
