Mutators bring major gameplay modifications that can be mixed and matched. Some mutators make the game harder, some make it easier, and some are just silly.
Alternate Playable Characters let you replay the campaign as Brian, Officer 13, or Nani. Each of them have major unique abilities and attributes that change up the experience of playing through the game a second, third, or fourth time.
The Level Editor gives you complete freedom to build your own levels or play the ones the community has shared. A flexible and intuitive in-VR level editor makes this easy, no SDK or modding experience required.
Here's a short trailer to celebrate the launch!
