We're excited to announce the availability of the first public Steam demo of THRASHER as part of the VR Forever Festival! Experience an arcade game sent to you from another world both in VR as well as in 2D using a mouse or gamepad, with full support for playing at 90fps on Steam Deck.


The demo includes:

  • The first 3 levels of the game, encountering 3 mysterious leviathans

  • Leaderboards to test your skills with the unique circle-based combo system

  • Play+ game mode for those looking for a tough challenge

  • Both PCVR and 2D versions of the game (with mouse and gamepad controls)

  • Full support for Steam Deck

The award-winning PCVR version has been "Remastered" since the original release on standalone platforms, including the following enhancements:

  • Enhanced graphics for PCVR over the standalone versions

  • Both controller AND hand tracking support on SteamVR

  • New more responsive controls

  • New Play+ game mode, providing a much harder challenge (and look for the new Time Trial mode in the full game)
