Project overview

Agony VR takes the intense and atmospheric experience of the original game into virtual reality. At Farom Studio, we took on the entire adaptation of the game, transforming it from a traditional PC format into an immersive VR experience. Our team worked to maintain the atmosphere and tension of the original, while making the most of the capabilities of VR platforms. What we did? Full development cycle: We managed all stages of adaptation process — starting with redesigning game systems and interaction models, to optimizing performance and preparing the game for release. Each stage was carefully coordinated to preserve the unique atmosphere of the game while unlocking the full potential of VR technology. 3D design optimization: We optimized existing resources for VR by revising geometry, textures, and materials to improve visual quality and performance. This allowed us to achieve high-quality graphics without overloading the system. Level design adjustments: Levels were revised to fit the unique characteristics of VR gaming. We provided natural player movement, clear space orientation, and intuitive interaction with the environment. At the same time, we kept the game's distinctive tone while improving comfort and accessibility for VR users. Technical art and visual effects: Our team technical artists refined lighting, shaders, and special effects to meet the unique requirements of VR platforms. This allowed us to create a visually powerful experience that runs smoothly and retains the game's dark aesthetic. Performance optimization: We conducted comprehensive performance profiling, applying aggressive optimization techniques to achieve stable frame rates and minimal latency. This ensured a comfortable and immersive gaming experience on all supported VR platforms. How we did it? We took an overall approach, drawing on expertise in 3D design, technical art, game systems and performance optimization. We ported the primary gameplay mechanics into VR and added improved user interaction models, with optimizations to make the game playable. With the teams working very closely together and receiving continuous feedback from QA, we were able to find and fix problems with ease, which resulted in a high-quality end product. Why it matters? Agony VR required a team that understood not only the specifics of VR development, but also the spirit of the original game. By combining technical and artistic disciplines, we were able to preserve the atmosphere of the game while adapting it for virtual reality. Performance optimization was key to creating a smooth and comfortable experience across different VR platforms, making the game accessible to a wide range of users.
