This week, we released a bunch of titles and updates across the Meta Quest Platform. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
Colossal Cave

Immerse yourself in a world of boundless caverns and sweeping vistas, underground streams and hidden reservoirs. Discover lost treasures and ancient civilizations, and encounter friends and foes alike in your quest to uncover the great mysteries of the mammoth cave system. With a non-linear exploration system, it’s up to you to decide how to proceed through Colossal Cave, and how to discover all its secrets.

Primal Hunt
In Primal Hunt, journey through prehistoric biomes, tracking down and going one-on-one with the most dangerous creatures to have ever walked the earth—dinosaurs. Face the ferocity of a pack of Raptors, the strength and power of an eight-ton Triceratops, or the terror of a 30-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex. With an arsenal of high-tech weapons and armor at your disposal, you are poised to become the ultimate hunter…if you survive. As you master each hunt, your prey becomes more dangerous as they are upgraded with advanced cybernetic enhancements—armor, carbine machine guns, rocket launchers, and even the lethal ion cannon. Face the danger of putting yourself in the path of nature’s most feared creatures and secure your place in history as the greatest hunter to have ever lived.

Dead Secret Circle
Five years after the events of Dead Secret, a razor-wielding maniac with a penchant for circles is prowling the wintry streets of Chicago in Dead Secret Circle. Follow the clues to a dilapidated apartment building and its down-and-out tenants, each with something to hide. Investigate their apartments, collect evidence, and pay attention to your dreams to solve the riddle of The Laughing Man before you meet his blade. Solve devious puzzles, collect items, review the clues, and unlock the secrets of this strange building. You can run, you can hide, but you cannot fight The Laughing Man.
