In Death is a roguelike archery action game built for VR, released in 2018 by Icelandic studio Sólfar Studios.

In Death retains a modest but stable residual stream and earned meaningful lifetime revenue for a niche VR title. However, the studio is no longer active, the game sits dormant on Steam with minimal recent engagement, and critical PC VR build issues (broken teleport, audio, save corruption on Quest 2 and Pimax) have degraded its current playability. Revival is possible only if technical debt is cleared and the community stabilized; acquisition alone adds little value without developer continuity or a commitment to fix VR platform compatibility. Most realistic play: revival.

• Risk: PC VR build is broken on multiple headsets (Quest 2, Pimax); teleport, audio and save systems non-functional, blocking core gameplay.
• Risk: Developer studio is inactive; no updates or developer posts in over 90 months, creating uncertainty over code quality, VR SDK debt and platform support.
• Risk: VR audience is fragmented by headset; fixes required per-platform and ongoing effort to maintain SDK parity as VR hardware and OpenXR evolve.
