Home - A VR Spacewalk
Mild overall intensityWhat's in it
The experience builds tension around the peril and isolation of a spacewalk gone wrong, with the risk of drifting away from the station, but no harm is depicted graphically.

What it is
Home - A VR Spacewalk is a short, single-player virtual reality experience in which you float outside the International Space Station and take in the view of Earth. It is built as a calm, cinematic moment with a thread of tension: an incident on the walk introduces a sense of danger and the fear of drifting away into open space. There is no combat, no profanity, no purchases, and no online or social features. The main content note is the atmosphere of peril and isolation that the experience deliberately creates.
How it's framed
The experience frames space as both beautiful and dangerous, leaning on awe at the sight of Earth alongside the vulnerability of a lone astronaut when things go wrong. It does not moralise; it presents a quiet, emotional situation and lets the scale and silence of space carry the weight.
