About This Game

It has been hundreds of years since the machines ironically wiped out mankind.

After seemingly endless competition, the two dominant operating systems formed "The Agreement" to share the colonized planets equally. Unfortunately, the once plentiful "crypto" mines have begun to dry up, and so fighting over this critical resource has resumed.


Multiplayer VR action comes to The Nest with the "Ctrl Alt Delete" update. Teams of up to three players will fight over Ctrl points, or six players can farm each other in the free-for-all "Delete" game mode.


Pick your OS!

Join the enigmatic Angroid or the treacherous DieOS and battle for dominance.


Multiple classes!

Choose to play as the powerful "Sniper" class, moving from nest to nest with a grappling hook, teleport grenades, and a variable zoom scope.

OR

Play the advanced "Slinger" class, a dual-wielding pistoleer that can move effortlessly in 3 dimensions thanks to their patented Slinger grapple-pistols.


Multiple game modes!

The Ctrl Alt Delete update introduces the first two game modes, "Ctrl" - where teams up 3 fight over control points, and "Delete" - a Free-For-All death match.
Stay tuned for the "Alt" game mode, an alternating offense defense map.


The single-player experience will return with more content, but all efforts are focused on multiplayer balance and polish. Stay tuned!

I truly hope I can recommend this game further down the road. As it is, The Nest is a cool concept that's fun for about 10 minutes, but like a lot of these VR games, is a one trick pony. The sniping is fun, the zooming in is cool, playing at night is awesome, but you see all of it and do all of it before you can even really get into it. I know the game is Early Access. I hope the devs keep working on it and add new locations and a campaign and everything we could ever want. But a score should not be based on hopes and dreams. I will definitely keep checking in on this every time there's an update, eager to give that thumbs up.

This game isn't bad. But I don't reccomend it for the following reasons: 1. If you're used to shooting real rifles (I am) you'll find the position of the scope on the gun, while accurate to an RL gun, makes it very difficult to see through in the vive because you'll be looking at the edge of the lens, thus making everything blurry. This leaves you with two options: 1) move your head. 2) move your body. Both throw off years of muscle memory. :( Putting in a method to move the scope to the right or left of center would fix this problem...i'd rather my gun look weird and work/feel right, than my gun look right and work weird. 2. The AI is...really simple. As long as you kill your target with the first shot, none of the other enemies will notice you. "Cool! A reward for precision!" Yea...but...they don't react *at all*. They don't seek cover, they don't dip and dodge, they don't try to find you. Nothing. They just wander around like braindead robots. 3. The hardest difficult just puts a...

I can't recommend this game at this time. It has very little content and has not been updated in a long time. Last I heard they were working on multiplayer but that's the last thing I want to see in a game like this. There are a million other multiplayer shooters on Vive, stick to what made this game interesting in the first place. This game seems dead in the water.

Bought this game as a single player game. After the last update the single player was removed, now there is only multiplayer. This is not what I bought. As if it wasn't bad enough there are no servers, which makes it unplayable. This feels like a fraud. Sadly I cannot refund because I own it for more than 2 weeks.

I only played the first round using a chair back for the window as was recommended (TY) and managed to freeze it taking a screenshot but i got to say i Love it!!! after playing pc FPS for almost 20 years this is the first time i really felt like a sniper, VR is Amazing!! The scope worked great for me, and the in game graphics were pretty damn good considering im running a 6 year old i7 with a gtx970 thrown in. I am looking forward to see how this game evolves, Great Job Dev's Thank You ;}

The game has been in early access mode for almost a year and from the looks of it, they haven't been working on it at all. It's basically a demo, 1 gun (that reloads itself, yawn) and one level. The enemies are dumb... and honestly, I'd have more fun shooting action figures with an air-soft gun. I initially expected these jerks to keep working on it, and release more content over time, but nope, they pretty much just took the money and ran. If they don't post any significant updates soon, I'm gonna write these guys off as scammers.

The Nest was a promising single player sniper title when it came out... now it's a dead multiplayer game. I wish the devs stuck to what they said their plan was in the EA disclosures - single player sniper game with additional levels.

i bought what was advertised as a sniper game, this is no longer a sniper game. skip it. devs used the early access to turn this into a fast action pvp game.

'The Nest' by Invrse Studios places you in the shoes of a tactical sniper. Your living room is now a sniper nest with a single window. Sound awesome? It is. It's been a while since we've had a decent sniper game on any platform (Silent Scope, anyone?). I played with a large box in front of me that I could rest/lean on. This aided in immersion and, of course, steadied my aiming. I had an absolute blast! Headshots are so damn satisfying. Judging from the placeholder text in the menus, it seems that Invrse is committed to adding a full campaign and even multiplayer. While light on content right now (Early Access), at only $8.99 this game is well worth the price of admission! GET THIS NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgrwuN9nnIo

Please reinstate the original, one player, wave shooter that The Nest was. That's what I payed for and it worked fine. To replace it with something that doesn't function and is on-line only, then make it free, is absurd. Call this The Nest on-line and make it separate, instead of taking the original title I paid for away. Here at "The Nest" put back the original tower defense wave shooter. Call the other "thing" The Nest on-line. Just give me back my game...
