Originally launched as a VR title and winner of Apple’s 2024 Vision Pro Game of the Year, THRASHER has been rebuilt from the ground up for PC while preserving the hypnotic flow that made the original so acclaimed. Players will guide a luminous space eel through surreal, pulsating alien realms—swooping, dashing, and thrashing through cosmic madness to build up massive combos.

The Steam release doesn’t just bring the game to 2D displays—it supercharges it. The PC version features enhanced visuals, ultra-smooth performance, and a variety of control options across traditional and VR setups.

Key Features

• Three Game Modes: Conquer the Main Campaign (27 stages across nine realms), test your skills in the new Play+ mode, or chase scores in Time Trials.

• Upgraded Visuals: Enhanced effects and resolution for PC and PCVR.

• Unique Circle-Based Combo System: Master precision control and rhythmic flow.

• Optimized for Steam Deck: Runs at 90fps with full gamepad and touchpad support.

• Flexible Control Options: Mouse and gamepad for 2D play, controller and hand-tracking support for PCVR.

• Leaderboards & Achievements: Compete and climb the global ranks.

About the Game

From the creators behind THUMPER, THRASHER is a pulse-pounding fusion of music, motion, and mayhem. Players evolve a tiny worm into a colossal space eel, taking on wild bosses and cascading through nine psychedelic realms that blend cosmic horror with rhythmic precision.

Expect blinding color, blistering speed, and thunderous sound, all wrapped in Brian Gibson’s signature style—equal parts mesmerizing and terrifying. Whether you want to chill to the music or push your reflexes to their breaking point, THRASHER delivers an unforgettable sensory rush.

THRASHER is available now on Steam, supporting both traditional PC and PCVR play.

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.
