Synopsis Caffeine is a quirky first person adventure game with environmental puzzles and a touch of psychological horror. Set in the near future, the entire population of Earth is vigorously addicted to coffee. Massive space stations built by the biggest corporations roam the stars mining minerals to create a synthetic caffeine. You awaken aboard one of these caffeine mining stations alone. Before long you realize that you are a young boy with no memory of what has transpired on this seemingly empty space station. Naturally you set out to explore the depths of the huge structure to figure out what exactly is going on. Graphics Caffeine utilities various technologies like DirectX 12, Ray traced distance field shadowing and dynamic lighting to give players a visually stunning game which looks great on low and ultra settings. Audio Caffeine features stunning sound design from Jonathan Wachoru (Outlast) and a serene music score by Adam Klingman of Bay Drive Sound. Oculus Rift SupportOn release Caffeine will have full in-game Oculus Rift support by hitting alt+tab while in-game. The main menu and settings menus are currently displaying incorrectly while in stereo mode, this will be patched into the game later on in release week so we can iron out gameplay related issues first. 

Press reviews: “Caffeine has a lot of issues to work out, but I’m confident that by the time the second episode is released a lot of them will be fixed. If you take the time to play around with some of the settings until you actually get the game working it is definitely worth playing. I loved the idea of this since I saw the first trailer, and I definitely wouldn’t say that I’m disappointed.” 8/10 – Complete Game Reviews
