Copenhagen, 21 Feb. 2024
Tomorrow is George Washington's and Drew Barrymore's birthdays and Supermarket Employee Day. Also, National Margarita Day, World Thinking Day, and National Cook A Sweet Potato Day. A riveting day of excitement, but as if that wasn't enough:
Bolverk Games is launching its amazing FPS shooter, Genotype VR, on Rift and Steam.
Additionally, Genotype is being updated with subtitles in seven languages. This includes 
Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, and Italian. Alas, as a result of some of the platform's internal QA processes, localization might not be available for everyone exactly on the 22nd.
RIFT: This version of Genotype comes with cross-buy between Quest and Rift, meaning Quest owners can pick up the Rift version for free and vice versa.
STEAM: After 2 weeks of intensive beta testing, Genotype is ready to launch on Steam. Thank you to the testers who ventured off to the South Pole to squash bugs and make improvements.
The new versions of Genotype for Rift and Steam include the recent combat update: See the press release.
The combat update includes:
🔫 5 new radically different weaponized creatures💪 New upgrade system giving you more choice in how you deal with enemies
🚧 Improved combat spaces to enhance your adrenaline flow
👾 New enemies, fine-tuned behaviors, and better boss fights
💰 Rebalanced loot amounts and ammo costs
🥵 4 difficulty settings and many accessibility options
📝 Even more lore to find in the facility
➕ Atmospheric synth-scapes, fully voice acted, and much more.
So, think about it, and go shopping for margaritas and sweet potatoes. Remember to thank the supermarket employees profusely before going home to enjoy Genotype with dinner and drinks. If you don't have time for all that, it is also Single Tasking Day, and it is highly recommended to have that single task be to buy Genotype ($24,99).
Happy birthday Drew B. and George W!
Coming up next will be the PSVR2 version of Genotype (Date to be announced).

The game
In Genotype, you explore an Antarctic research base overrun by monstrous beasts, wielding high-tech gloves that print living organisms you can use as weapons and survival tools.
- Print organisms and use them as weapons to fight off beasts
- Morph tiny to move through vents and use tools to clear obstructions
- Upgrade your organisms and customize your gloves
- Experience high-fidelity graphics
- Immerse yourself in a fully voice-acted emotional narrative.
- Enjoy truly alien sound design and atmospheric synth-scapes
You play as Evely, an intern at an Antarctic weather station. During a routine expedition, Evely falls through the ice into the mysterious Snowdrop Initiative laboratories. Luckily, the facility's last human survivor, William, can guide her to save herself — and the entire planet.
