The original Steampunker is a steampunk puzzle adventure game with unique hand-drawn graphics. The hero named Vincent fights the invasion of evil robots from outer space. He leaves his town in a submarine and tries to reach an island where he can find a space rocket. Further chapters are located on the island, in the rocket on the Moon and finally in the robots’ spaceship. In Steampunker VR Periscope Shooter Vincent is in the submarine and he is fighting the robots which surrounded the vessel. The player has to navigate and shoot all the robots. The tasks gets harder and harder as the robots approach the submarine from all directions.
Telehorse is considering adapting other parts of Steampunker into VR games, but a VR version of the whole game is rather unlikely.
