Detached

About

Detached is a virtual reality game where you fight to survive on a ruined space station while racing against a depleting oxygen supply. You explore zero-gravity environments using a customizable EVA suit, solving environmental puzzles to unlock airlocks, recover power, and disable systems. The single-player story drops you into a desolate future where humanity’s colonies have collapsed, forcing you to scavenge and strategize under pressure. Multiplayer adds competitive twists with a capture-the-flag style mode where every decision impacts survival. The game leans heavily into VR mechanics, requiring precise hand movements and spatial awareness to operate tools and navigate tight corridors. Players praise the realistic physics and tension of managing limited resources, with beta testers noting the "intense" sandbox freedom to approach challenges creatively. Multiplayer matches are highlighted as fast-paced and unpredictable, blending stealth and strategy. Released in 2017, Detached remains a niche pick for VR fans seeking a survival-focused experience with minimal hand-holding.

Storyline

Have you ever wondered how long you could last alone in deep space? In Detached your survival instinct is the key to staying alive. You are dropped at the edge of a universe destroyed by human misrule and extortion. Thanks to years of warfare and greed, the human colonies in deep space are no more. The great factions have crumbled; the corrupt corporations have dissolved. You have to race against borrowed time to find your crew before your oxygen supply runs out. But this is only the beginning… Your innovative Eva Suit needs fuel and you are not able to survive even a few minutes without oxygen. In the hope of rescue, you are forced to explore further parts of the abandoned cosmic colony. As you solve puzzles to open airlocks, locate power cores and disable transmitters, something tells you that you won’t be alone when you finally escape into the deep infinity of the universe…
