Unknightly: Medieval VR stealth game with multiple movement options
48Gameplay from Unknightly, a VR stealth game where you sneak around a dungeon trying to avoid guards and escape.
Unknightly is a $19.99 early access VR stealth game that supports the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with Touch. You can move around in Unknightly via sliding locomotion, or swap to arm swinger locomotion with the press of a button. You can also climb certain surface in order to sneak around guards or drop down on them for a surprise attack. It also helps to use roomscale movement like crouching or lunging forwards to stay hidden or land a crucial kill. Unknightly is a unique and well-executed game, and tons of fun already already despite the early access/public beta phase of development. In this video I go through part of the first campaign level.

Short Background Story
Unknightly is a medieval VR stealth game designed from the ground up for virtual reality.You play the role of a former member of the "Knight's Order".
You have been betrayed and thrown into prison by someone very close to you. But by who?
Hungry for revenge and fortune you seek to uncover the identity of those who double-crossed you, gain insight into their motives and eventually set the record straight.
VR: Stealth First
-This is first and foremost a stealth game, so there's almost always multiple ways to solve every challenge. Using combat to eliminate guards is viable but not mandatory, and might not always be possible!
-Instead, you are encouraged to think through different situations and find ways to get around unnoticed, steal valuable items and get out without being caught!
Stealth and Cunning?
-Move around you will have to sneak past guards and climb walls.
-Walk around in shadows and avoid areas with a lot of light to stay invisible even when walking close to guards.
-Be careful not to make loud noises to avoid making guards suspicious.
-Throw objects around to distract guards and create a window of opportunity for you to execute your plans!
-And more...
The Experience & Choice
-Choice in how you approach each and every level. There is always more than one path to the objective.
-Scout through technically challenging and visually compelling environments in search of valuable objects.
-Feel the tension creep up on you as you realize that every mistake could be fatal."
