Kayaking can be a lot of fun. Tourists can view some of the most beautiful places on earth with kayaking tours. It can also be great exercise. Rowing is, apparently, one of the best forms of cardio ever. However, not everyone has the time or the money to physically go kayaking. 

‘Kayak VR: Mirage’ offers a virtual solution. It offers players the chance to go kayaking in their living room, office, or wherever! Of course, none of it is actually real, but it's about as close as anyone will get without actually taking a kayak out on the water.

‘Kayak VR: Mirage’ offers players beautiful kayaking locations. There are peaceful waters of tranquility for those who just want to enjoy the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of being out on the water. For the speed freaks and race monkeys, there is a “time attack” mode with time checkpoints where speed is everything.

According to the developers, they have utilized 100% physics-based kayaking to create an experience that is as realistic as possible. However, there is a “comfort” setting for players who can’t handle the motion. Seasickness, they say, is the worst kind, and nobody likes the feeling of stomach-churning nausea…

The game’s graphics “push the limits of what VR games are capable of,” making the experience as realistic as possible without melting the players’ hardware! In addition to epic locations, ‘Kayak VR: Mirage’ includes matching mood music to round out each player’s experience with the perfect vibe.

‘Kayak VR: Mirage’ is developed by ‘Better Than Life’ and will be released on Steam on the 25th of April, 2022.
