Build, Trade, Thrive: Your Medieval VR Adventure Awaits The First Settlement VR is an evolving VR city builder focused on sandbox-style town building , management, and atmosphere. There is currently no traditional, fully scripted story campaign – the focus is on freely building and developing your city. New systems, buildings, and features are being added over time. Step into the medieval world of The First Settlement VR , where your vision shapes the future of your own town. Start from the ground up, choosing from over 50 unique buildings that define your town’s economy and daily life. Raise homes for common citizens and unlock a new tier of inhabitants – Merchants , who bring wealth but also demand their own specialised buildings, services, and more refined living standards. As your town grows, so does your perspective. Walk the streets in immersive first-person and move among your people, or rise high above the rooftops to oversee your production chains, districts, and city layout from a strategic vantage point. Experience your settlement across a full day and night cycle as lighting and ambience shift over time. Switch seamlessly between ground-level immersion and elevated planning to build and manage your settlement your way. Engage in trade with neighbouring towns to secure scarce resources or sell your surplus for profit. Balance the basic needs of your citizens with the more sophisticated expectations of your merchants as you produce everything from essential foodstuffs to luxury goods. In this VR experience, you’re not just an overseer; you’re a visible part of the community—walking the streets, observing the environment and the people, and seeing the direct results of every decision you make. Ongoing updates will continue to expand the game with additional buildings, systems, and citizen needs based on player feedback.
