To our loyal patrons - thank you for your support during the Atlas Theater’s first year of operation. It’s been thrilling to see so many players make their way through our puzzle-ridden halls, and the reception has exceeded our expectations! Many secrets still rest within the Atlas’ sordid walls - along with general gameplay improvements and overhauls, there are more sections of the theater that have yet to be uncovered … and more mysteries to explore! We’re planning to release some additional content for The Atlas Mystery in 2023, as we seek to build one of the most expansive escape room experiences for Steam, Quest and Viveport. Be on the lookout for a new and improved v1.9 relatively soon with much bigger improvements to follow. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates in the New Year! And thanks again for all of the support that allows us to continue building this experience, to offer new and exciting puzzles wrapped up in a polished and cinematic environment. We loved putting this tribute to old Hollywood together and there's a lot more to come. Best, The Atlas Theater StaffSteam VR Showcase Game Update July 7.15.22Jul 16, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIn advance of the Steam VR Showcase launching in a few days, we are posting a new version updated based on feedback from the Steam Summer sale. Thanks again for all of your feedback. Sometimes making small changes can make a huge difference. Here are some of the changes: Collision improvements on certain items Minor visual improvements Improved Radio Puzzle usability Fixed item gravity bug Improved certain key usability Changed noise when putting key into backpack Fixed being able to teleport with certain items you were not meant to Minor performance improvements Added some clarity to tutorial If you have any (spoiler free) feedback for the Top Right Corner team on The Atlas Mystery, please let us know! We love making VR games for you!Help us Expand The Atlas MysteryJun 26, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsThe Steam Summer sale has brought hundreds of new players through the doors of the venerable Atlas Theater. Thank you again for your support. It means the world to us! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41415822/89ceb86864455bf5bee1e5ecb0bd49547dd76c72.png At Top Right Corner, we love puzzle and escape room games and we believe there should be a lot more of these on the VR market today. Since Atlas was released in mid April, several thousand of you have played the game across Steam, Oculus AppLab and via Viveport. Our goal now is to look towards expansion and improvements that we can make based on your feedback. So far, we have launched six game updates and patches since release and we will continue to support the game, its players and our fans. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41415822/b9ca6fb459869b661f19e55b6445ed3c48e10e7a.png That said, creating independently financed and produced games is tough - especially in the VR space - due to the increased challenges of hardware inconsistencies, optimization across different platforms and so on. To be perfectly transparent, out of every dollar that we make off of Steam sales, 57% comes back to us after VAT, local taxes, refunds and Steam's cut. This is roughly the same across Oculus with slightly better figures on Viveport Infinity, though the sales are calculated differently. The economics of VR are tough unless your game is featured prominently on Steam or on the Oculus store itself. How can you help us expand the game and make more games like this one? If you already purchased The Atlas Mystery, thank you! That is a huge help! If you liked the game, please leave us a positive review on Steam. These really help us move up the rankings on Steam overtime, especially in a category of Escape and Puzzle games, where we can really stand out. If you did't love the game, rather than leaving a negative review, please leave us a comment in our community board first. As developers, we've been extremely diligent about responding to every comment or note that has been posted there and you may find that the question you're asking about has already been answered by we the developer, or by another user. Rather than posting a negative review that will hurt our algorithm, please ask us here first and we will respond to you! If you bought the game on Steam and have posted a review here, please also consider posting a review on Oculus as well. Our main goal towards financial viability and expansion is to get on the Oculus Main Store and to do that, we need as many reviews as possible. We want to expand the game onto new platforms like PSVR2 when it is financially viable. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41415822/d892b05ceb754f3da3cdfead4d0d664cd7c0f612.png Lastly, let us know in the comments what you'd like to see in our next iteration of Atlas? Without giving away spoilers, it would be great to get a sense of what puzzles players really enjoyed and how we can expand the story - and atmosphere - of Old Hollywood mystique. We're considering adding more rooms, mor...Atlas Hot Fix v1.6Jun 23, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsAs a lover of puzzles, escape rooms and VR in general, the creators of The Atlas Mystery will continue to support and improve this game over time.

If there's anything else you'd like to see from us or something that could improve the experience, please let us know! -The Atlas Theater StaffAtlas Hot Fix v1.4Apr 28, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello Loyal Atlas Patrons, Building an VR indie game that is meant to function seamlessly on Meta Quest, Steam VR and Viveport is a challenge.
