Play Dungeon Keeper in VR: the dungeon becomes a tabletop in front of you, your hand is the Keeper's hand, and you can possess creatures and walk around at life size.

Unofficial fan-made test build, not a KeeperFX release. Please report problems in Issues.

New in test build 3

  • A launcher window, KeeperFX VR.exe. It checks your setup, finds your VR software (Virtual Desktop, SteamVR, Meta Quest Link) and starts the game with one button. It also has options to skip the intro and use a 1920x1080 window for recording, plus buttons to open the log and report a problem.
  • Easier instructions in README-VR.txt, starting with a five-step quick start.
  • The old .bat launchers are still included, in the Other launchers folder.

Quick start

You need a Windows PC, a PC VR headset, and your own copy of Dungeon Keeper.

  1. Install KeeperFX from keeperfx.net and check it starts.
  2. Update it to the latest alpha patch (keeperfx.net → Downloads → Alpha): unzip it into your KeeperFX folder and replace files.
  3. Download KeeperFX-VR-….zip below and unzip it into the same KeeperFX folder (over an older test build is fine).
  4. Get your headset ready: connect Virtual Desktop or Quest Link, or start SteamVR.
  5. Double-click KeeperFX VR.exe in your KeeperFX folder, then press Play in VR.

First time only: if Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway (this test build is not signed).

Controls and troubleshooting are in README-VR.txt inside the zip.

Works with

  • Virtual Desktop (Quest): tested
  • SteamVR (Valve Index and other SteamVR headsets): tested
  • Meta Quest Link / Air Link: should work, not tested yet
