Echoes of Mora VR is now available on Steam after missing its planned April release. PC VR buyers need to choose between two separate store listings, and only one of them works with a headset.
The $14.99 edition is flatscreen only. The $17.99 Echoes of Mora VR edition supports both VR and flatscreen play, according to UploadVR. The similar names and small price difference make the cheaper listing an easy mistake for anyone arriving through Steam search.
What the game offers
Echoes of Mora is a story-led puzzle game set in a flooded Italian village. Players explore underwater locations and use portals to see events from the village's past while helping Mora learn what happened to her missing brother.
Developer Selkies Interactive describes an experience built around exploration rather than danger. UploadVR reports that there is no combat, no fail state, and no game-over screen. A complete playthrough should take about two to three hours.
The story has two endings based on a choice near the conclusion. Earlier dialogue choices can also change the order of some scenes. That gives the game some variation, although the reported length still places it closer to a compact narrative experience than a large adventure.
The two Steam versions matter
The VR edition includes an optional flatscreen mode. The reverse is not true. Buying the cheaper flatscreen edition does not add VR support.
That makes the $17.99 edition the only relevant choice for headset owners, even if they also want the option to continue on a monitor. Steam names and prices can change, so buyers should check that the store page explicitly lists VR support before paying.
Why the launch moved
Echoes of Mora VR was previously expected in spring. UploadVR reports that Selkies Interactive delayed it while discussing a publishing deal. A developer later said on Steam that the deal did not proceed.
The game arrived as a self-published release from a team of three German master's students. A VR-supported demo is also available, which gives PC VR players a way to test performance, interaction, and comfort before buying the full edition.
For prospective buyers, the demo is the safest first step. It can answer whether the slow underwater movement feels comfortable and whether the game's quiet exploration holds attention. If it does, make sure the final purchase is Echoes of Mora VR rather than the cheaper flatscreen listing.
