Overview

The developer describes Directionless as an experiment in using VR to unsettle and disorient the player. The game starts in an ordinary room, and the environment changes after the player falls asleep and wakes at midnight. The Steam page includes a warning that the game can cause motion sickness and states that it contains no jump scares.

The Steam listing calls it a short experience and suggests that its replay value comes from showing it to other people.
