Away - Journey to the Unexpected

SolKutTeR · 20. August 2026

Das Spiel selber kenne ich nicht, es besitzt aber einen schönen Artstyle.
Von Pk_c, bekannt von seiner Europa PCVR-Mod, gibt es nun eine VR-Mod für Away.

AwayVR
A VR mod for AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected (Aurelien Regard Games)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/573110/AWAY_Journey_to_the_Unexpected/

I tried to make this mod feel like native : 6Dof, snap/smooth turn mode, tracked hands, swing-to-attack, grenades thrown with your hands, and the game's flat interface rebuilt as panels you can actually look at.

Unofficial mod, not affiliated with the developer or publisher. No game assets or game code are redistributed.

Installation
Get a copy of the game on steam : https://store.steampowered.com/app/573110/AWAY_Journey_to_the_Unexpected/

Download the latest release Here

Unzip the release archive into the game folder, next to Away.exe, then launch the game. That is all

...\Steam\steamapps\common\AWAY\

SteamVR must be running and the headset on before you start the game.

To uninstall, double-click uninstall VR.bat in the game folder. It restores the original configuration file, removes every file the mod added, and deletes itself.

Controls
Right trigger Attack
Swing your arm Attack, with melee weapons
Right grip Guard
Left grip Grenade: squeeze to arm, release to throw
Left trigger Show the HUD while held
A Jump, confirm, advance dialogue
B Next character, advance dialogue
X Open/close the diary
Y Pause menu, cancel
Right stick down / up Next / previous character
Both stick clicks The mod's VR settings
No SteamVR configuration is required. A and X are read from OpenVR directly: Unity's legacy input layer gives those two buttons no joystick index at all, which is why most Unity VR mods cannot use them.

The grenade leaves your hand, in the direction of the throw, and as hard as you threw it.

Settings Menu
The in-game menu opens by clicking both sticks, and everything applies live:

Section What it holds
Controls walking speed and dead zone, snap or smooth turn, turn angle and speed
Weapon weapon size, swing threshold, trail, damage volume placement, knockback, throwing power
Graphics world scale, colour grading
Effects render scale, one switch per full-screen effect, shadows, level of detail
Interface HUD always visible, HUD size and distance
Player head centring, room-scale walking, camera blocked by walls, player height
System frame-rate counter, reset everything
Two of them are worth knowing about, because they undo assumptions the game makes that only hold on a flat screen. Hit box decides where a melee blow's damage volume goes: the game pins it two metres ahead of the headset, so it rides on your posture - crouch and it sinks with you. Knockback decides which way a struck enemy is thrown: the game pushes it along the body's forward, which is also "away from you" only because, on a screen, you always face what you hit.

The robot is a lock-on weapon: look at an enemy to lock it, then fire.

Everything is stored in BepInEx/config/fr.awayvr.plugin.cfg, which also holds the finer options that are not exposed in the menu - grenade offsets, swing threshold, fade timings, and the input bindings.

How it works
A few things about this game turned out to shape the whole design:

globalgamemanagers ships already patched. The engine reads it before the mono runtime exists, so no plugin can enable the OpenVR device in time for the launch under way. The file holds build settings only - no assets, no code - and the original travels with it as .orig for uninstalling.

Unity 2017's built-in VR requires Direct3D 11. Under D3D12 it fails silently, so the patch also puts D3D11 back at the head of the graphics API list.

The interface is captured, not rebuilt. Screen-space canvases are attached to a camera of our own that draws into a texture shown on a panel, so Unity keeps full control of the layout - including the game's habit of hiding UI by sliding it off screen. Dialogues are IMGUI, so they are captured by redirecting the render target around OnGUI.

Several full-screen effects cannot work in stereo. Anything that reconstructs the scene from the depth buffer uses one camera's matrices while there are two eyes: the result lands beside the geometry it belongs to. Cloud shadows, depth of field, lens curvature and grab-pass shaders are neutralised; I also make the choice to slightly change the color grading since things are much darker in vr

Troubleshooting
BepInEx/LogOutput.log says what happened.

Message Meaning
is not in enabledVRDevices globalgamemanagers was not copied, or a game update replaced it
Unity 2017 VR requires Direct3D 11 Add -force-d3d11 to the Steam launch options
XR activation failed SteamVR is not running, or the headset is not detected
If input misbehaves, set OpenVrBridge to false in the config with the game closed: the mod falls back to Unity's own input and loses only A and X.

Building the mod
Requirements: .NET SDK, and an install of the game with BepInEx 5 in place - the project references BepInEx.dll, 0Harmony.dll and the game's own assemblies from there.

dotnet build src/AwayVR/AwayVR.csproj -c Release -p:GameDir="H:\Steam\steamapps\common\AWAY"
./deploy.ps1 # build and copy the plugin into the game
./tools/pack.ps1 # assemble dist/AwayVR-<version>.zip

tools/patch_ggm.py produces the patched globalgamemanagers (needs Python and UnityPy).
