The Rig

About

The Rig casts you as a pilot navigating a derelict spaceship tangled in a murder mystery. You comb the freighter’s corridors and control rooms, gathering clues and piecing together a fractured family saga. The story unfolds through environmental storytelling and dialogue with AI characters, all while the ship’s systems and zero-G physics add layers of tension. Built for VR, the game emphasizes tactile interactions like flicking switches and handling objects, which many players praise for making the space feel alive. Critics note the narrative’s emotional depth and atmospheric design, though some flag pacing issues in later acts. With a Metacritic score of 78 and a dedicated fanbase on Steam, it’s a niche title that leans heavily into its noir-inspired drama and interactive set pieces.
