About this game

Immerse yourself in an alien realm where the sights, sounds, and sensations that you experience all become clues for your survival. Touch a green glow and see its effects. Open a gateway to a new area.



Experience new rooms, and descend deeper. Level by level, tap into your gaming intuition to solve each puzzle. Who or what is the "host" and what is your relation to this space?



With a focus on experiential-based gameplay, Garrett Fuselier has created a virtual reality to challenge and cherish. The dim glow of the swelling visuals and the fluctuation of the atmospheric audio (all created solely with voice work) build a new kind of gaming experience that, like its narrative, grows in intrigue and innovation. Recalling the classic situation-based puzzles throughout gaming history, you will find no UI, no voice over, and no buttons to press (on your controller).

Inside the world of HOST, you are your only salvation.

Experiential Tip

The game will stay naturally within the confines of your environment. For the best immersive experience, change your Chaperone settings to be minimal and dark.

Warning

This game contains flashing lights that may make it unsuitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitive conditions. Player discretion is advised.

    Excited to let you all know that I've begun developing Phase Three. This phase will be the final installment, and will complete the experience.

As always, Phase Three will be a free update to those who have already paid.

    Phase Two Coming Very Soon!

    Hi, everyone! I hope there is still a community of people out there anxious to try the next phase. I'm in the final weeks of playtesting with friends and it's pretty much ready to go (I could use some beta testers, though). There's been some major issues with trying to support Quest 2 Link and play area calibration. It doesn't seem like Meta is going to fix their SDK anytime soon. But, Quest 2 headsets make up 48% of the VR headsets on Steam, so it's not something I can ignore. I might have to release Phase Two without official Link support, just because I'm very excited to get it out there! I'm curious how big the Quest Link audience is for those who play HOST. If anyone is reading this, please let me know in the comments what headset you use. ːsteamboredː I apologize for the 2 years of radio silence, but I've been heads down working in my spare time. Expect big things very soon and I can't wait for you to play Phase Two in the coming weeks! And as a reminder, Phase Two will be a free update ːsteamhappyː. -Garrett
