Can you recommend any PCVR games that can be played lying down? Preferably something slower that runs on Linux.

So far I’ve tried:

  • Overload: Works, but I get motion sickness.
  • Hellblade: Works but for some reason it’s too boring for me at the moment, dunno why.
  • Arkham VR: A PITA to get working with shitty controls and it’s almost impossible to play lying on your back.
  • Star Wars Squadrons: Works well, will keep playing.
  • The 7th Guest VR: Doesn’t work on Linux.
  • Alien Isolation: Doesn’t work on Linux.

I’m currently installing Alyx but that will probably be too much for my little Deck and on top of that demand too much interactivity.

I really wish The 7th Guest worked. That could have been exactly the kind of calm experience I wanted to play.

    The Deck is just a (slow) Linux PC, why wouldn’t it work?

      Because it’s slow and VR is very resource demanding. It has to render everything twice and to mitigate motion sickness, the standard FPS to hit is 75-90.

      From NoneYa’s comment, it sounds like it “works” but it’s not gonna be very enjoyable.

      I didn’t think it had enough power to run VR. I’m going to have to do some tinkering.
