You are in complete control as you shoot, slice, and explode your way through dozens and dozens of increasingly challenging and varied combat encounters.

MCD offers a more refined, sharper, flashier experience than any SUPERHOT so far. More story. More lore. More meaning? You shoot and slice. You move forward. You repeat. You repeat. You repeat. It becomes a ritual. It starts to mean something again. You take a moment to consider. You’ve been here before. So many times. Maybe this time it will actually mean something. Everything explodes into action. You hope this time will be different. Is this VR? Will this be VR? MCD is a regular, non-VR title. It’s designed for conventional screens and longer play sessions.
