About the Game


BONEWORKS Is a narrative VR action adventure using advanced experimental physics mechanics. Dynamically navigate through environments, engage in physics heavy combat, and creatively approach puzzles with physics.

  • Weapons, lots of weapons: Boneworks provides players with a plethora of physics based weaponry; guns, swords, axes, clubs, spears, hammers, experimental energy weapons, nonsensical mystery tools, and anomalous physics weapons.
  • Interaction: Hyper realistic VR object and environment interaction.
  • Story: Play through the game's mysterious narrative and explore the deep inner workings of the Monogon Industries' artificial intelligence operating system; Myth OS.
  • Character Bodies: Accurate full IK body systems built from the ground up provide a realistic looking body presence and allow for a maximum level of immersion with physical interaction in the game space.

still, in 2025, i believe this is the most well made vr physics game of all time. just about everything works exactly as you'd think it would. and also, the campaign. wow. absolutely mind blowing. boneworks' campaign was an absolute blast to play. i love everything about it; the story, the characters, the levels, etc. the main problem i have with boneworks is its mods and accessibility. i know this game stop updated a while ago, and its somewhat old, but trying to get mods for this game and installing them are more difficult than bonelab. still, this games campaign is an absolute masterpiece, dont stop with this series, PLEASE SLZ. 9/10 game for me. (editing burnout here, i just wanna say it says i refunded this game, but i bought it back soon after i got my refund back. had a small issue booting it up on steam, but i got it fixed the second time i bought boneworks.)

BONEWORKS, developed by Stress Level Zero and released on Steam in December 2019, is a bold and ambitious VR title that pushes the boundaries of immersive virtual reality gameplay. Built around a physics-driven interaction system, BONEWORKS isn't just a shooter or a sandbox—it’s a deep experiment in presence, agency, and physical realism. It’s one of the first games that truly attempts to simulate a body within a virtual space, and while it occasionally stumbles in its reach, the result is a groundbreaking experience that stands as a defining title in the VR medium. At its core, BONEWORKS is a first-person action adventure where players navigate through a mysterious virtual world inside a fictional operating system known as Myth OS. The story is cryptic, layered with lore, and conveyed largely through environmental storytelling, scattered terminals, and abstract in-game events. It's not told through traditional narrative methods—instead, it encourages players to piece together...

The only thing negative I can say about this game is that it makes other vr games look horrible in comparison (including bonelab). I really hope whatever is next for SLZ after the remaster of this game is similar to Boneworks and not of lesser quality like Lab was

The physics are amazing, the soundtrack is one of my favorite sound tracks ever. Boneworks is probably one of the best vr experiences you could possibly have ever, seriously its amazing. Its goofy funky weird mind boggling making you think between whats real and whats not. because this games a mind bending experience of a game and i love it. Its worth the money im dead serious
