About this game

Update June 2026: Added Omni One for Quest support

The Amusement is a narrative virtual reality game in which the player takes on the role of Samantha Burkhart. Sent by her mother to inspect an abandoned amusement park inherited from her late father, the 19-year-old woman is overwhelmed by memories of her childhood. To come to terms with her past, Samantha explores the park and solves mysteries in this redirected-walking adventure.

Set in the 1920s, the story of The Amusement addresses the difficulties of the post-war period. You visit the family amusement park at your mother’s request for one last time: a winding maze, the ruins of a waterride... and of course, a roller coaster! The park begins to reveal memories from your childhood—moments you’d almost forgotten, secrets your family never spoke about.

The Amusement offers a fully immersive experience based on redirected walking techniques. A standard 2x2 meter playspace is all you need to walk around freely and explore the game’s environments without controller-based movements. Players with smaller playspaces also have the option to explore the park with teleportation or Smooth Locomotion.

Exciting puzzles, mysteries, and tasks are waiting to be solved — all by elevating the most engaging and fun interactions that VR has to offer.

Features

  • Setting inspired by 1920s amusement parks
  • Redirected-walking techniques
  • A complex story about family relationships
  • Engaging interactions and exciting puzzles

"The Circus-Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This is the sixth Reich. The ground floor is full of gambling tables, like all the other casinos... but the place is about four stories high, in the style of a circus tent, and all…

Couldn’t finish the game:Boundary Issues

I couldn’t finish the game! I got to the Rollercoaster level and the screen kept going black and telling me to go back to the play area when I tried to climb down on the metal ladders. I am playing seated. Please fix this issue so I can finish the game. Edit: I was able to finish the game…
