AFFECTED: The Manor [Update January 2020]

Hello everyone and a very happy 2020 to you all.

We just wanted to give you an update on what will be happening with AFFECTED: The Manor following our release on Oculus Quest in December, and what this will mean for Steam users going forward.

As some of you will know already, we successfully launched the brand new Oculus Quest version of AFFECTED: The Manor towards the end of last year. We completely rebuilt this version from the ground-up and introduced new levels of interactivity, enhanced graphics and a host of surprises which we wouldn't dare to spoil here. Currently, the ratings on the Oculus store are well over 80% and we're really proud of what we have created. We plan on releasing this new and updated version of The Manor as a free update for Steam [and other devices] users in the coming months. This will essentially be like a whole new game for you to try and get all the way through at no extra cost.

This will also allow us the address some of the concerns or issues that have been raised here in the past, including [but not limited to] cross-platform support and motion control methods.

As a community, your thoughts, questions, ideas, and suggestions have been invaluable to us and we want to thank you again for your magnificent support. We worked incredibly hard on this version and very much look forward to bringing the updated version of AFFECTED: The Manor to you in the coming weeks and months.

From everyone at Fallen Planet, we wish you all a great start to the new decade and are incredibly excited about what VR has in store heading into the 2020’s...

For those of us who bought this on Steam and own a Quest headset, is there a way that we could have access to the updated version on that headset?

Please give us the choice to go back. I hate the new version - it's EXTREMELY bad compared to the old AWESOME original PCVR version. How do I get back the game I paid for and which is totally ruined now?

This is going to come across as elitist but it needs to be said -

VR DEVS, for the LOVE OF GOD, STOP RUINING PC EXPERIENCES JUST TO INCREASE YOUR SALES ON CHEAP PLATFORMS. If need be, make a completely separate build for people with kits that don't have the horsepower of a full PC setup, but don't force "cross-platform" on your demographic in a way that FULLY ruins it for the high end players just so the low-end gear can handle it. Cheap kits are cheap for a reason. They simply can't handle the graphics and mechanics that a high-end kit can. Create a beta branch, put a check box in the menu, do whatever you need to in order to make the game differentiate between high and low-end gear so the serious enthusiasts don't have to progressively check more and more games off their library because they're being "Questified". My heart broke when I had to uninstall Onward after what they've done to it for the sake of cross-platform, and now this. Just stop the madness, for fnck sake.

Amen to that!

Please give us back the game we paid for! Devs, you completely destroyed a game many of us loved or liked. I bought game A - now devs deleted it and gave me game B, which is not what I paid for. Is this even LEGAL?!

Please add the original game to the BETAS - maybe a Legacy version, the devs behind Eleven Table Tennis did just that.

I just made a comparison so it's easy to see what the devs did to the great original PC version:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/qlfic6/the_questification_of_affected_the_manor_once/

Btw, not that the original version was that high-end, but it was much better than the version I got now.

I paid for one game I loved - suddenly devs changed the game to something I don't want and never accepted to pay for - is that even legal? Again, it's like accepting to buy a red sportscar, and suddenly I get a blue Toyota?! I consider this close to fraudulent behavior. 2c.

If it is legal, it shouldn't be. Open a ticket with Steam and make a fuss. At the very least, you will get a refund I am sure of it.

Wow talk about screwing a paying customer. Imagine paying for a laptop and it has issues, so you send it in to get fixed, and instead of them giving you your old one fixed, they send you a new one that has worse specs. Pretty sure that’s called theft. You need to have an option to have the original version, this was not a good decision at all.

WE need a web page that lists all the questified pc titles so the pcvr don't waste their time or money anymore...questifiedruinedgames.com sounds great. If they just want the squeakers let's let them have them and cut out anything they can make on the pc vr side screw them as they screw us...
