The story of "Robo Quest VR" centers around a robot recently unearthed by one of the last humans, guiding players through a series of levels that feel like chapters in a larger narrative.

- “The game does have some sort of story, and so some things are the same as you go through, and you get permanent upgrades that will help you make it every time further and further into the 'dungeons'.”

- “You know what's a great idea? Making everything a pop-up screen in base camp except how to start missions, instead of deciding to make it an over-the-shoulder button prompt with little to no visual feedback.”
