I was wondering the same thing. I wish it would play, The Blue was one of my favorite things to show first timers.

this game actually dead, and no longer support from developer. It's abandoned ware now.

I was hesitant about buying this game for Oculus Quest 2 because of such messages, but it works without a single problem ...

I don't know what you're talking about...

I too can confirm this experience DOES work on Quest 2. I just bought my Quest 2 and this is the second experience I have installed and it worked perfectly.

I was using theBlu on a Samsung Odyssey+ WMR where I ran it from the cliff house in Windows, and other than a problem with the flashlight in the deep sea scenario and minor controller issues it ran great.

When I got the chance to get a Quest 2 for $200, I jumped at it and ended up selling off the WMR headset as the Quest 2 beat it out overall (though not by as much as I would have expected), and the Quest 2 had the advantage of being portable as well.

theBlu from WMR would NOT run on the Quest 2, but as soon as it went on-sale here on Steam I grabbed it as the whale scenario is the single best demo tool for people new to VR!

So using the same hardware as the Odyssey+ (HP Z230 w/ i7-4770 & PNY 1060 card), the Quest 2 runs theBlu without a hitch and I actually have full controller support and the flashlight now works in the deep sea scenario.

I'd like to see this as a stand alone app for the Quest 2 so I can show it to people without needing the computer, as it's quick, easy and visually impressive for those new to VR.

But I can verify that it runs great on the Quest 2 via USB3 (haven't tried it wirelessly yet) and that it works well with the PNY 1060 graphics card.

Just bought an Oct Quest 2. This was my first purchase since my first impression years ago has stayed with me. It loads, I see the choices but can't select any

I was reading through this thread and the new post and realized that I forgot to include that I use SteamVR beta as this tended to work better overall when I was using the Samsung Odyssey+ WMR headset and I never bothered to turn off the beta after moving to the Quest 2 headset.

If you are having problems, you might try enabling SteamVR beta. Would like to hear back if this works...

The other thing was I changed SteamVR to use the Oculus mode with the Quest rather than OpenVR as I had with the Odyssey+.

Bad performace on airlink

This is my first VR purchase and sadly I must echo some of the other comments. I'm using a Quest 2 and it's not acknowledging the hand helds. Also, as a sidenote, the ocean floor is at my chin. I'm openly admitting I know nothing about VR so any advice would be greatly welcomed.

- it works on quest 2 ( played via SteamVR on Virtual Desktop ). You could use AirLink or Link cable it still works.
- the controller also works.. Although the control is not intuitive. You need to press both trigger and grip to turn the earth. It should have been grip only I think. To select you need to direct your controller to the button and click "A".
