Vancouver-based independent studio Vankrupt Games is launching Pavlov Shack today for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3 devices. The game has been available as a free beta since 2021, but Quest users will now have to pay $19.99 to continue playing (although there is a 25% pre-order discount that brings the price down to $14.99). You can check out the launch trailer exclusively on Wccftech.
PC VR players may be familiar with the original Pavlov, which launched in 2017 and quickly became one of the most popular military tactical shooters available for VR devices. A PSVR2 version became available earlier this year for Sony's PS5 console.
Pavlov Shack is a standalone version made specifically for Quest devices. It features over 65 weapons, ranging from WWII to the modern day, and there are even supernatural twists. The following modes are available:
● Search and Destroy: Team up in this classic 5v5 competitive game mode where you must attack or defend the bomb objective with no respawns. Your aim, positioning, and communication skills will be tested.
● TTT: Use your social deduction skills to uncover the mysterious traitors in this casual murder mystery game mode. With different roles, objectives, and gadgets, players have to reveal who is secretly the murderer or get away without getting caught.
● Zombies: In this co-op mode, find new weapons and discover the secrets of the map while you survive waves of zombies with your friends as each wave gets harder and harder.
● Hide: Nine players must find the Hidden, one super-powered predator controlled by the 10th player, as they pick players out one by one. Look for clues and communicate with your team, or else you will all be dead.
● Prop Hunt: It's time to play hide and seek, but you turn into props around the map! The other team must find the suspicious objects that could be players. No trash can will ever look the same.
● Traditional FPS Game Modes: Experience tried and true game modes such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Gun Game utilizing Pavlov’s visceral gunplay in a more casual setting.
Thanks to the support for the updated Modkit 3.0, Pavlov Shack players have access to over 300+ maps, including three brand-new ones: Container Yard, Pinehill, and Harbor.
