About the game
Helio Drift renders true volumetric clouds with multiple scattering, reprojected between eyes and temporally amortised so the frame budget holds on PCVR headsets. Foveated rendering recovers headroom on eye-tracked devices.
Features
01Volumetric cloudscapes
Ray-marched multi-scattering clouds you can fly through, not skyboxes.
0290fps per eye
Stereo reprojection and temporal amortisation hold the VR frame budget.
03Foveated rendering
Eye-tracked variable rate shading on supported headsets.
04Flat-screen mode
Full non-VR build with ultrawide and triple-monitor support.
