Are there any tools to reduce VR motion sickness playing Ember Souls?
We’ve been working to reduce motion sickness by allowing slower movement with the joystick, implementing climbing with physics-based movements, and balancing quiet moments (puzzles and exploration) with parkour.
However, the game is rated as moderate comfort. If you’re prone to motion sickness in VR, we recommend playing other games first and returning to this one once you’re more accustomed to VR movement.
We are working in a teleport locomotion, but it won’t be available at launch.
