Der User Chvjak arbeitet an einer Quest 2 VR-Mod von Descent aus dem Jahr 1995 (Mobil Version).
Erste Alpha-Version findet ihr kostenlos auf Sidequest und GitHub.

DescentVR
This is a source port of the original DOS game “Descent” for Oculus Quest 2. It is based on Descent port for Android from https://github.com/devint1/Descent-Mobile.

The easiest way to install this on your Quest is using SideQuest, download SideQuest here: https://sidequestvr.com/

Copying game resource files
This project is far from being ready, but you can already relive the nostalgia by roaming around the levels you may have forgotten.

This is just an engine port, so you will need to provide the resource files (descent.hog and descent.pig) yourself by copying them from the Descent copy you own. You can purchase it from https://store.steampowered.com/app/273570/Descent/.

Installation
