An atmospheric VR extraction shooter set in the procedurally generated, ever-changing Chernokamensk Anomaly Zone. Scavenge loot, fight bandits and hunt for mystical artifacts with a dog companion at your side, and extract before nightfall.

A new entry at #7 on the Steam 250 seven-day chart, scoring 8.12 with an 88% positive rating from 1,756 reviews. Released 17 September 2026.

Key features

Extraction stakes without other players

Extraction shooters normally get their tension from human opponents who can take your gear. CONVRGENCE is single-player and generates that pressure from a nightfall timer and uninsured equipment instead, which means the dread is scheduled rather than social.

The dog is a mechanic, not a mascot

A companion dog accompanies every raid. In VR, where you cannot glance at a minimap without breaking presence, an animal that reacts to what is nearby is a genuinely different way to deliver information.

Procedural zones stop route memorisation

The Anomaly Zone regenerates, so the usual extraction-shooter endgame — learning the map until raids become routine — does not arrive. Every run has to be read fresh.
