The Steel Wool Studios will soon remove the VR constraint of 'Five Nights at Freddy’s VR: Help Wanted' and also offer the game as a non-VR version.

This introduces a so-called flat mode, which has also been optimized again. The developer comments:

"We worked very hard to develop a version of Help Wanted for everyone who doesn't have access to a VR headset," said Steel Wool Studios. “It was very important to us that the non-VR version (flat) feels great and is not just a cheap ported 2D version of the VR version. We worked hard to make the cameras and controls feel great! "

The update will be free on December 17 for owners of the VR version, while the flat version can also be purchased separately, with the option of being able to upgrade the VR later.
