About

Microcosm is a single player casual strategy game. It was developed by paulstraw and was released on June 1, 2017. It received positive reviews from players.

Build tiny voxel worlds in virtual reality! Microcosm is the game I've wanted to play in VR ever since I saw the Oculus Rift Kickstarter way back in 2012. I picked up a Vive last year, but no one seemed to be making the voxel game I wanted. Finally, I said enough was enough, and just decided to build it myself.

    The graphics are criticized as low-quality and simplistic "voxel" style, with users suggesting the game's success is not due to its visual design but in spite of it.

    • “This is just a bit of software that lets you create garbage 3D 'voxel' scenes, because a lot of developers look at Minecraft and think it succeeded because the graphics are crap.”
    • “Minecraft succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
