VR Walking Simulator
EXPLORE
VR Walking Simulator lets you explore numerous realistic natural environments from the comfort of your room. The game supports SteamVR fully, so customize it to your liking. Play sitting, standing, or walk around.
There are also multitude of extensive graphics options so that you can get the most out of rig.
TAKE PICTURES!
If you see something particularly nice, use your handheld polaroid camera to take a picture and use it as your desktop wallpaper. The camera can take pictures with as much resolution as you want! After taking pictures, go back to your base and make a collage. Then take a picture of the collage and share it with your friends.
DIFFERENT MAPS
The game currently features more than 9 fully realized locations to explore, each with their own unique atmosphere and looks.
Explore this beautiful forest featuring trees, birds, waterfalls, and a lake.
When you are bored of the regular forest, go into an alien land and see plants that you can literally cannot see in real life. Climb the giant mushrooms, and enjoy the purple sky.
After you are done with aliens, explore places on earth that are hard to get, like this nordic mountain lake. Walk through the tundra vegetation without the cold or the thin air bothering you.
Take a break from nature and explore this deserted town. See what’s inside the buildings, and try to make sense of the UFOs flying over. Spooky.
As reality gets too bleak, enter this fantasy land. Find out what fabled heroes left behind and look at ancient ruins. Enjoy all the intense colors!
Once ready get back to nature and trek alongside this mountain river. Take a short break next to the waterfall and look at pretty rocks.
If you want the dense feel of a rainforest, this map is for you. Feel overwhelmed as the sun tries desperately to reach the ground below through dense trees and flies go abound. Fortunately you are safe from the bugs and the humidity from behind your VR headset.
Once you are overwhelmed reduce the intensity and head to meadows creaks. Walk alongside dirt roads and enjoy the open countryside.
End your journey next to this river with dense vegetation that reaches up to your waist. Take a stroll along the plants, and enjoy the hills.
Upon popular request, now you can play the game in Non-VR Flatscreen mode too. However this is NOT the intended way to play the game!
Happy VR Walking!

‘VR Walking Simulator’ is pretty much what its title suggests. You get to walk about a few small areas, some of which are better than others. You get woodlands, alien woodlands, a mountain and a post-apocalyptic town. You can teleport around or free move and you even get a camera to take a few images with. It’s all weird, it’s all kind of pointless, but yet…somehow I still managed to find some fun here. I explored, I took a good number of images and I even managed to sink into the scenery. If like myself you are happy to just wobble around a small 3D area exploring it this is the app for you. Those looking for a bit more fun or some actual gameplay will have to look elsewhere.

I've been waiting for more content like this since I got my Valve index and loved the tech demos where you enjoy nature outdoors. This game is exactly what I had been hoping for. You just walk around and enjoy a nice scene when the weather in the real world sucks outside. My only complaint is that it's too easy to accidentally pick up the camera or menu off of your waistline. Means I have to keep my hands raised in an unnatural way while walking. How about an option where the player can stash them in a backpack Alyx style? 5 bucks is fair and I hope the developer keeps going with this. If you make future scenes please try replicating some areas or trails from real life Canadian national parks. Also add some beaches! I don't really care for the alien / haunted mansion stuff. Also one reviewer said this is like VRChat... nope. Completely different vibe.

Sometimes you just want to be in VR without having to fight or solve puzzles, this is perfect for that.
I think this is a pretty decent experience for the price, and has a lot of potential to grow.
a few bugs here and there but nothing major...locomotion could do with a bit of polish but all in all a good slow paced relaxing time.
If you enjoy non gaming VR experiences, pretty much for the price of a beer, its worth checking out
Would be cool to get a physical walking mechanic like happy run, could use it for some light exercise then

Amazing concept, and in practise is not too bad. You can walk right up to a tree stump, and you need to be right on it, to see that it's generated. I'm a Bushwalker/Hiker of 40+ years, and the feel of the environment is spot on.
Now the downsides are that there's this odd Clunking sound, when your using the control sticks to move in Walking mode. Obviously trying to simulate taking steps. But really annoyingly wrong, and you can't turn it off. The Bush doesn't make a sound other than the occasional twig breaking or rustle etc, when walking on it. The envronment is really small, but not to bad as an experience. UFO's? Really? lol Anyways, keep it up, you're on the right path. Pun intended. ;-)

VR Walking Simulator is something simple: Players will take a nice and quiet walk through the woods in virtual reality with an ingame polaroid camera to capture photos of a variety of levels.
The idea of games with no objectives or enemies is interesting, but it means there’s not much to keep most players engaged after they’ve explored each map. I’m aware some people like to relax in VR headsets and meditate and I wonder if VR Walking Simulator would work for that. The music and background noises are perfect as they are relaxing and mostly quiet.
I should probably add that the VR version of the game worked mostly perfectly for me, but when I tried changing the settings the game went a little crazy, and because of the camera interface, I ended up with a LOT of Steam screenshots of myself stuck under the floor. Once my pure panic stopped, I was able to figure out how to adjust the settings. There is also a non-VR version that runs very smoothly, complete with the camera for screenshots.
The developer of VR Walking Simulator has made something special here – I feel like I would love to see more of this sort of thing in the future, though maybe with a little bit of busywork? I’d love to spend more time exploring these lovingly crafted levels, especially if there was a little more to do in them.
I recommend VR Walking Simulator! Potential players need to be aware there are only so many maps, with not much to do, other than explore some eye-pleasing open spaces while maybe taking some pictures.
Played using a copy sent by the developer through Steam’s Curator Connect platform – Follow me on Steam Curator at IndieSamAdonisReviews for under-appreciated indie games, neat VR experiences, and all sorts of other funstuffs!

kept getting disk write error messages after installing this game and updates, had to disable the Avast Antivirus shields to finish installing and updating this game, I don't know why I had to do this just for this particular game, I never had to do that for any of my other games I bought from Steam, hope updates fixes some of these issues with this game, other than that the walking around and exploring places is pretty good

I don't know why but this game make me feel relaxed just walking without thinking anything. Some animation look weird like grass movement in new meadows scene but I still recommend this game
