About this game
THE RIG is a single player, point-and-click style ADVENTURE game for VR, without the point-and-click! Inspired by our favorite adventure games from the 1990s, you explore — in first person — a dilapidated travel agency, an old beater of a starship, and finally encounter The Rig itself -- a hulking asteroid mine at the very edge of deep space. The Rig lets you experience a tight, focused story with a playtime of around the length of a feature film. WOLF 424A, VIRGO SECTOR -- DECEMBER 5th, 2132: You're Willard Pike, failing Mars-based travel agent, now sent to the far reaches of edge-space by your desperate sister-in-law. She's charged you with tracking down Dixon, your estranged, deadbeat brother. Dixon's last known whereabouts are the AMR Alexey Stakhanov — a remote, ominous mining rig hitched to the side of a massive asteroid. But if you do find Dixon, if you stop him from running... what then? Do you bring back the man who ruined his family? THE RIG is a story-driven, immersive ADVENTURE GAME for VR, where you try to unravel the chain of events leading up to the present-day by exploring a small space-freighter and solving conversations and environmental puzzles to find a way to resolve your family's deep-space drama.

Just another day in the Twenty-second Century. Rich, old-fashioned detective storytelling over a century in the future! In the tradition of "The Maltese Falcon" or "Touch of Evil," this is a noir-style story like out of the 1940s, but told in the 2100s. You're play as Willard Pike, a Mars-based travel agent thrown back into a family drama he'd hoped he'd left behind for good. Willard's mission? Find his deadbeat brother Dixon, the man Willard hates, before someone even worse does. The story centers around a fully lived-in, explorable starship — hand crafted by an artist — in the style of classic science-fiction vehicles like the Millennium Falcon or the Se…
