Graphics can be a sensitive topic in VR. Standalone headsets can only do so much on their own, but consoles and PCs are expensive. When something like To decrease is coming, but even an early access Steam demo can help us all pause, look around, and see what truly striking visuals can do to take you somewhere else.
A2D's new demo is available on Steam as of this writing, with a full release listed as “coming soon.”
You can simply reach forward and spread your arms to swim beneath the swirling water and see a world teeming with life. Schools of fish dart through the water with fluid movements, while sunbeams filter through the water and create beams of light in a visual feast. Some may never experience diving in clear water like this, making Subside instantly transporting from the power of these elements alone.
A2D's swimming mechanics feel intuitive and, above all, realistic. The resistance of the water is palpable as you paddle through the sea, and the buoyancy seems to mimic the feeling of floating and diving.
The demo for Subside offers a taste of a satisfying underwater excursion and we'll be curious to take a deeper dive when we get the chance. Subside is definitely on our radar right now, and if you've got a PC and VR headset nearby, we recommend you give it a quick free demo check out Steam.
