  If you played Dark Ride: Sweet Dreams, first of all: thank you.Sweet Dreams was one of our experiments with the idea of bringing a classic theme park dark ride into VR. It helped us test the atmosphere, the ride itself, exploration, interactions, and all the little details we love hiding around the park.But it was always just one small piece of something much bigger.And now we’re finally building Dark Ride — the actual park.This is where everything we’ve been experimenting with starts coming together: a strange, cozy VR theme park you can wander through at your own pace, with attractions to discover, things to interact with, hidden details, clues, stories, and plenty of mysteries tucked away in places you might not think to look.No rushing. No timers. Nothing chasing you.Just a park waiting to be explored.It’s still growing, and we’d really love to have some of our Sweet Dreams visitors…

• Oh Whatever. You Can Have more I Guess. - 16 June 2026

  This! This! Will be the final update to this Early access game. Probably. Almost certainly. Why? Because we’re moving on! This EA was a test case for the bigger game. “Dark Ride” -We wanted feedback on some things. And we got some. We would have liked more. But it’s ok. From here we will be working on the full game Dark Ride and we will freeze the experiments that led up to it. But before we go on from here. We have an exciting update!With this release you will have the most extensive view of the theme park we are building yet. Yes it’s under construction. Literally and figuratively. But you can sneak in after hours and poke around while nobody is watching. Far East Alley is more complete now with not only the Sweet Dreams ride in place. But you can also go try Feline Fix - our first VR experiment. A sort of solo escape room slash scavenger hunt. It’s simple and fun and is a great demo…

• Lore. Loore. Sounds weird now. - 12 June 2026

  I have to do most of the writing for the project. Including whatever this is. This may not give you hope for the overall project. I understand. Despite my wandering mind and predisposition for bullsh*t, the story itself is good.Story? you may say? I thought this was just a theme park ride thing that I put on my face. Which is true. But there is a through line that we have been working on for a long time. It's like too much Socrates. We have too much of Socrates.You just keep asking "why?" And you end up in a rabbit hole in a warren of rabbit holes. You become a rabbit. You move your nose a lot and twitch. Your eyes, like other prey animals, are on the side of your head offering you near wraparound vision to watch for predators. Socrates. And rabbits. And holes. Get it?Why is there a theme park?Who built it?Why did they build it?Where did they put it?What is that place like?Who lives the…

• 👋 Hello Friends — An Update! ✨ - 21 May 2026

  I'm never sure how to judge how many people read these posts. 🤔 But I'm told by the team we should write them. I could be writing into the infinite void right now. 🌌 We begin alone and we try to find moral permission to judge the world around us. I think it was Sartre who said... Never mind. We should talk about games!🎮We have been building our little world. 🏗️ A better one than the real one maybe. Which is some days — not a high bar. 😬 The Transcendentalists believed that... Kidding. 😄 (It's called a call back. It was only one paragraph ago. It's not exactly Chekov's gun, but I'm trying to keep your attention. 🎯)📋 Since we spoke last we have:💻 Been building a whole command line language and system so you can interact with the computers that run the theme park.⌨️ The Terminal systems run on a language called Pillow Talk. And they are generally referred to as PTC's. (Pillow Talk…

• Welcome to Far East Alley - 17 April 2026

  When we started Dark Ride, we had two paths: just rides, or build a whole theme park. Rides are great. But I don't know what it'd be like to drive for hours or fly across a country to ride Pirates of the Caribbean and go home.Okay, I would. But still — strolling, eating, window shopping, eating, soaking in the activity, eating — that's part of the experience too. So does it translate to VR? Here's what doesn't:No food.No smells.No community, no group atmosphere.Walking is teleporting or gliding like a ghost.No touch.You can look at things for sale, but you can't buy them or keep them.So is there a point to the space between the rides in VR? Who knows. But it sure feels like it. Riding a ride and then either quitting or riding again makes you wish for a break in between. It feels like there should be more.So what can you do with the land the rides live in?Visuals. What goes into your eye…

• The Real Deal (Mostly) - 10 March 2026

  For a long time now we have been working towards this day. To actually put you nice people into a weird little car and drive you down a weird little path we made for it. A dark ride! Because we were so unsure of everything, this is not the only ride we have made. This is more like one of three, and several non-ride based experiences. And three lands with a dozen stores each. And oh yeah, a couple more experiences I just remembered. Oh yeah and a garden. And some secret tunnels. And a couple warehouses. Back to this ride though. It was the first. Just a little jaunt around a birthday themed story that takes you on a journey that probably won’t make sense to you. I personally hope it will not make sense to you. The rest of the team might feel differently. But, I do think that it might make sense after a ride or two. What I hope is... that it doesn’t make you sick. Motion sickness is a rea…

• An Experiment. A Good Old Fashioned Experiment! - 27 February 2026

  Soon we will be releasing a new game in Early Access. It’s a subset of a chunk of a piece that fits into the master plan. But it’s a very very critical piece. It’s a legitimate VR dark ride. What is a “dark ride?” I hear you say. Good question Chappy. Can I call you Chappy? It sounds good to me and you just don’t have much say in the matter so. Here we go Chappy. Chappy. A dark ride is a classic Disney concept where the original concept was to let people “ride the movies” - a tagline later stolen by a competitor. People would continually go to California and drive by the Disney studios and they wanted to see Mickey and Snow White. Did they know that these were cartoons? I think so. But it was the 50’s, so who knows what they thought was inside of the magic picture box. But at a minimum they thought they would see a cool statue or get to go on a tour or shake Walt’s hand. So Walt had thi…
