Wonderland and Robot Invader convert VR game to web and PC
Wonderland and Robot Invader have partnered on a novel way to get players excited about playing a virtual reality game.
The companies converted the first few levels of the Meta Quest VR title Dead Secret Circle so that it can be played on the web.

The game was initially released as a native game for Nintendo Switch in 2022 and Meta Quest in early 2023.
