Reviews

“'Red Matter' showcases impressive worldbuilding, a knack for high degree of polish, and an engaging enough story to make this a single sitting game worth at very least three hours of your time. Puzzles aren't terribly difficult, but usually come to a satisfying enough resolution, and always feel necessary to the overall narrative. While the game's commander, a voice over guide, can grated on my nerves, it's an easy defect to ignore in the face of an overall excellent sci-fi thriller adventure.”
8.3 / 10 – Road To VR

“It is pretty damn clear by now that I am impressed with this game. When it comes to design, this team nailed the most important aspect of a VR game. It has to feel natural. This goes into every area of game design, from world building, to narrative, all the way to how the player interacts with a button on a desk lamp. Red Matter is a shining example of what making the correct design decisions, for the story your trying to sell, looks like.”
9.6 / 10 – VR the Gamers

“All in all, Red Matter is a very high calibre VR experience, neatly weaving its story and puzzle elements together. It by no means perfect, following the line of other puzzles in VR that are seemingly unable to offer plenty of reasons to come back for more. So like a good meal take it slowly and savour the moment.”
8.0 / 10 – VRFocus

Review Highlights

About This Game

THE MISSION IS SIMPLE. THE TRUTH IS NOT.

You are Agent Epsilon, an Atlantic Union astronaut sent to investigate an abandoned Volgravian research base on Rhea, one of Saturn’s moons.

What begins as a covert recovery mission soon becomes something far stranger.

Red Matter is a story-driven VR puzzle adventure set in a dystopian Cold War where every room, object and document may hold part of the truth. Explore an isolated facility, restore forgotten machinery and follow the evidence left behind by a crew that vanished.

INVESTIGATE EVERY DETAIL

Scan objects, translate Volgravian documents and search the facility for clues.

Propaganda, personal belongings, research records and the environments themselves reveal a mystery that rewards observation and curiosity. Nothing is quite what it seems—and the deeper you investigate, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

SOLVE THE FACILITY

Repair circuits. Operate unfamiliar machinery. Decode information. Manipulate objects with your own hands.

Every puzzle is built into the world around you, turning the facility itself into something to understand, unlock and investigate.

TOOLS BUILT FOR VR

Your motion controllers become multifunctional devices for grabbing, scanning, translating and illuminating the world around you.

Turn dials, pull switches, examine objects and operate technology naturally as you uncover what happened on Rhea.

A RETRO-FUTURE COLD WAR IN SPACE

Step onto the hostile surface of Rhea and descend into imposing brutalist corridors, underground installations and secret laboratories.

Detailed environments, upgraded 4K textures, rich materials and atmospheric lighting bring Red Matter’s retro-futuristic world to life.

The tension comes from isolation, surveillance and the feeling that something went terribly wrong here.

MOVE YOUR WAY

Explore using smooth locomotion, teleport or dash, with multiple movement options designed to let you experience the facility your way.

UNCOVER THE TRUTH

Every clue brings you closer.

Every discovery raises another question.

And some secrets were buried for a reason.
