What is Time Machine VR?
In this single-player, first-person VR adventure, you explore prehistoric oceans to investigate a virus linked to a present-day epidemic. You pilot a time machine through underwater levels, bait creatures, and freeze time for close-up scans, then upload discoveries at a mission hub in Norway. Completing the story unlocks Exploration Mode, where you revisit levels to collect more creature data.
