Where it runs

Premise and progression

The official MADiSON site describes a first-person psychological-horror game. You play as Luca after waking in a dark room with blood on your hands, while MADiSON—a demonic force in the story—pressures you to continue a gory ritual that began decades earlier. The Steam description presents the VR version as the same disturbing narrative brought into a more immediate VR perspective.

The central tool is an instant camera. The official descriptions say you use it to connect the human world with the beyond, take photographs, and develop those photos manually. Progress therefore combines looking closely at the environment with working out what the camera reveals. The stores describe puzzles, exploration, object inspection, item pickup, and interaction with the VR environment rather than a score-based or multiplayer format.

What you do in VR

The documented loop is investigation under pressure: search the surroundings, collect or handle objects, use the camera, develop photographs, solve puzzles, and try not to attract unwanted attention. Steam also describes stealth, listening, and staying quiet as part of avoiding entities. The official Meta listing says events can be random and puzzles can change, while Steam describes unpredictably triggered events and mutable puzzles; both sources connect those systems with replayability. These are store descriptions, not hands-on performance or comfort findings.

The VR implementation is more than a flat-screen label. Steam specifically lists the product as “VR Only” and describes virtual hands, a camera held in VR, physically inspecting and grasping items, and enhanced 3D sound. On Quest, Meta lists sitting, standing, and roomscale play styles and controller support. On PlayStation, the official store lists PS VR2 Sense controllers and sitting, standing, and roomscale play styles. Those details describe supported interaction modes; they are not a claim about image quality, frame rate, or how frightening the game feels.

Edition and platform checks

Quest: The Meta store identifies the standalone listing as supporting Quest 2, Quest 3S, and Quest 3. Buy or launch that listing when you want the headset-native version; the listing does not make a PC a prerequisite.

Steam PCVR: The Steam listing is a separate Windows PC release. It specifies Windows 10/11 and PC processor, memory, graphics, DirectX, and storage requirements, plus support for several VR headset/controller families. A computer must run this edition; the rendered experience is then delivered to a connected or wireless PCVR headset. These are not requirements for the standalone Quest listing, and owning a Quest headset alone does not turn the Steam edition into a native Quest app.

PlayStation VR2: The PlayStation Store identifies a PS5 version and explicitly says PlayStation VR2 is required, with PS VR2 Sense controllers required. This is a console-and-headset path, distinct from both the standalone Quest release and the Windows PCVR release.

This is a research/reference page based on the linked official listings and publisher site, not a hands-on review. The Meta, Steam, and PlayStation products are separate platform releases; check the store tied to your hardware before buying.
