CtrlShift Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
CtrlShift is an asymmetrical 2-player coop VR game for the HTC Vive. One player wears the VR headset and plays the role of the Spy, physically sneaking through the environment. The other player uses keyboard input and a command line interface to play the role of the Hacker, typing in commands to hack the environment in the favor of their Spy. Each player has an incomplete view of the environment, so communication and trust is key. We're proud to present our Demo release of CtrlShift.
NOTE: Game will play best on monitors of 1920x1080 resolution or larger.
Download
Install instructions
Just unzip the folder and run HIVE.exe. At this point, the game will automatically open on both the computer monitor (the Hacker interface) and the HTC Vive (the Spy’s first person view). Game will play best on monitors of 1920x1080 resolution or larger.
Sound setup:
Your computer will default to the Vive’s headphone jack as its output method, but shared sound is integral to the experience of CtrlShift, so be please follow these steps to ensure that audio output comes out of your computer speakers:
1. Right-click on the speaker icon in the bottom right of your Windows Taskbar.
2. Click on “Playback Devices”, find your standard computer speakers in the list of output devices.
3. Right-click on your computer speakers, click “Set As Default Device”.

IT RUICKED CRASHES EVERY 210-3 SECONDS -ODHEYUSYUJSDNKMFMN Y8OU
Saddened that this game has been abandoned 😔
really good game, awesome graphics, great game play, never playing again
Really Fun Game to play with a Friend! even though it was published 2017 I hope you're continueing the great work. looking forward to the full release.
made an account just to ask is there any way to get this on the quest or quest 2
Probably Not, Game was made before those came out, it's not being further developed
can i use it like pc vr with a quest 2?
Late reply but yes.
My wife and myself had a ton of fun playing this. I hope to see another game pick up the gauntlet and make something like this, because we were ready to pay for it, and surprise, it isn't available.
I think this game is dead.
The developers do not support it aand the game is not released. (They said that the game will be avaiable in 2017 and we are in 2020)
Bro, it's been 3 years.
seriously, it takes a while to develop a game. obviously coming from me it means nothing because im not a game developer. but since 2014 theres been a game called yandere simulator it was in beta for six years before the demo got released. according to yandere dev (the developer of yandere sim) its still probably going to take another 2 years before the full game will come out. you wont just develop a game for 2 years then release otherwise it will probably have shitty animations, bad graphics a bad storyline and barely any content. it takes time to put hard work into your game just except the fact that the game has took a while to be published...
Howdy, this game was a college capstone. the group Hive broke up and Now one the Devs works for naughty dog. So Yes the game is dead.
Yandere Simulator is a dumpster fire of terrible code that gets worse with every update, made by a developer who cannot remotely take criticism (constructive or otherwise), and refuses to actually take sincerely offered programming advice from people who have far more experience.
I really don't think that game should be used as a *good* comparison...
Hey there I work with SideQuest and I wanted to ask about how open to an Oculus Quest port for your game you might be, It looks to be a fun game and would be astounding if made mobile and the other end was just a website one could access from anywhere, even a phone. So far and I believe it would only help to have with the freedom the Oculus Quest device brings to VR. We would love to see CtrlShift reach more people as well. If you do consider an Oculus Quest port possibility we would love to have you on us, Our aim is to help host and distribute games as easily as possible for any developers, If you want to sell your game you can even link the listing you might set up on SideQuest directly to Itch.io for easy purchase set up. Listing on SideQuest is also completely free. If you are interested there is more information on how one can submit an application or game to SideQuest here: https://github.com/the-expanse/SideQuest/wiki/How-To-Submit-Games
In any case best wishes and we hope for the brightest of futures for you.and for an example of a listing currently on us using Itch integration you can see here: https://sidequestvr.com/#/app/358
That would be awesome if this game was ported to sidequest!!!
When I launch the game, the hacker display is scaling too large for my screen, how do I fix this?
Read the description... It says clearly "NOTE: Game will play best on monitors of 1920x1080 resolution or larger." So the fix is pretty much get a 1920x1080 monitor.
My windows settings say something about being 1920x1080, but being set to scale 125%, would that have anything to do with it?
compatible with rift s?
idk but ima find out
it is
Please make turning option on controllers
Is the game compatible with the Oculus Rift S?
yes
GREAT
Does this work on wmr (windows mixed reality) headsets I have a Samsung oddesey plus and I really want to play this
On the Index + Knuckles Controllers the hands are switched. My left hand is the right ingame hand. Anyway to fix that?
impossible de jouer prcq pas moyen de mettre un point
I found the solution : switch to qwerty then use the / button to make a dot.
bha ouais mais c'est chiant de jouer en qwerty
Dude, I can't download it. I don't have the permission. Do I need to pay or something?

'Forbidden' or 'Failed - Forbidden'
I'm getting the same issue. I really want to play this with my sister, but it says "Insufficient Permissions" when it finishes downloading.
Okay, I got it to download, but when I run HIVE.exe, it gives me this error
---------------------------
Error

Couldn't start:

CreateProcess() returned 2.
Ok, I fixed this a while ago, sorry for the super late response. When I posted this, I was using the itch.io website however when I downloaded the itch program then it worked. Try doing this instead. Download this: https://itch.io/app
Is the full game still being developed?
Any online coop, or way to do so?
I really want to play this, but am unable to because when I select the Window for the PC user to input text, the VR render massively cuts down its GPU usage from 50% to 10% causing unplayable lag. If anyone has advice on how to remedy this I would appreciate it. (the game runs fine in VR if the Desktop players tab is minimized.)

Does this work on the Oculus Rift?
it should work for all VR platforms
I really enjoy the co-op aspect of this game. VERY fun. I was also impressed with the accuracy of the access point "star" throwing. Throwing is usually off on WMR devices, but it worked fine.
My only real gripe was after completing the mainframe hack. It was immediately obvious what needed to be done, and I only have a few seconds before being spotted and losing the game. This was the first time there was no "countdown" to the amount of time you were truly "spotted". It was pretty frustrating to get that far only to be confused as to what to do, fail, then get sent ALL the way back to the beginning. At most, the player should be sent back maybe one room.
Beyond that one complaint, I think it's a great game and should definitely be fully developed and released on Steam. I'd pay for it.
Yo i played this game and it's really fun. I really hope development continues on this thing and that it gets popular
