Helm or High Water VR - Creator and Composer

Helm or High Water is a pirate ship combat game for Steam VR with asymetrical, local co-op where you must work together to control your ship and sink your foes. A friend controls the sails and crew while you put your VR sea legs to the test and man the helm.

Feel the bow of the ship rise and fall with the waves and try not to get seasick with Helm Or High Water's realistic physics-based ship motion.
