The First Settlement VR

Build, Trade, Thrive: Your Medieval VR Adventure Awaits
The First Settlement VR is an evolving VR city builder focused on sandbox-style town building, management, and atmosphere. There is currently no traditional, fully scripted story campaign, the focus is on freely building and developing your town. New systems, buildings, and features are being added over time.
Step into the medieval world of The First Settlement VR, where your vision shapes the future of your own town. Start from the ground up and choose from over 50 unique buildings that shape your settlement’s economy and daily life. Build homes for ordinary citizens and unlock a new tier of inhabitants merchants, who bring prosperity but also require their own specialised buildings, services, and a considerably higher standard of living.
Each map also features its own monumental landmark building, such as a palace or fortress. This long-term construction project is completed across six individualtsix separate stages, growing visibly with every finished section. To complete it, you will need to expand your production, gather sufficient resources, and continue developing your settlement.
As your town grows, so does your perspective. Walk the streets in immersive first-person and move among your inhabitants, or rise high above the rooftops to oversee production chains, districts, and the layout of your town from a strategic vantage point. Experience your settlement through a full day and night cycle as the lighting and atmosphere change over time. Switch seamlessly between ground-level immersion and elevated planning to shape your settlement exactly as you envision it.
Engage in trade with neighbouring towns to secure scarce resources or sell your surplus for profit. The warehouse management system lets you decide which goods each warehouse should prioritise. This allows you to direct the flow of goods more effectively and store important resources closer to where they are needed.
You can also manage buildings that produce finished goods. Mark completed products for collection and view production and storage information directly at each building. Balance the basic needs of your citizens with the more sophisticated expectations of your merchants as you produce everything from essential foodstuffs to sought-after luxury goods.
In this VR experience, you are not merely an overseer managing everything from a distance, but a visible part of the community. Walk through the streets, observe your surroundings and inhabitants, and experience the direct consequences of every decision you make.
Ongoing updates will continue to expand the game with additional buildings, systems, and inhabitants’ needs, shaped in part by player feedback. If you would like to see what we are working on next, you can find the current roadmap and join the conversation with the community on our Discord.
