The entire world is infected. Many have already turned. The booster shots can only hold off the infection for 24 hours at a time now. You only have one day to l
One Day To Live released on Steam on 15 August 2026 from OMFGames. It is a post-apocalyptic VR zombie survival game, and the headline detail before anything else: this is a VR title, so you need a headset.
A 24-hour clock you cannot pause
The premise is a virus that was controllable until the vaccine stopped working. Governments collapsed, billions died, and the survivors left are scavenging to secure their next injection.
Mechanically that becomes a 24-hour cycle with infection levels tracked in real time. As infection rises you are forced into increasingly desperate decisions — the store page’s example is raiding a fortified military facility rather than playing safe.
Tying the survival timer to a substance you must keep re-acquiring is a tighter design than a generic hunger bar. The clock never stops, so caution has a cost as well as a benefit.
The infected were people
OMFGames frame the enemies deliberately: the infected were once friends, family and strangers, now roaming in relentless packs with their humanity gone.
In VR that framing carries more weight than it would on a monitor. Proximity and scale are the medium’s strengths, and a horror game built around packs closing in is playing to them directly.
Solo, co-op or against other players
The multiplayer support is broader than most VR survival games manage. The Steam listing includes Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op, PvP, Online PvP and LAN PvP.
LAN PvP is a genuinely uncommon inclusion in 2026 — most releases dropped local network play years ago. For VR, where latency matters more than usual, having a LAN option is a real advantage if you have headsets in the same building.
What the listing does and does not include
Worth being precise here. The build is Windows only and English only. The single Steam genre tag is Action.
Notably absent: no Steam Achievements, no Cloud saves, and no controller support listed — though for a VR title, tracked controllers are handled through the headset runtime rather than Steam’s controller category.
Before buying, check the store page’s VR section directly for supported headsets and whether seated or roomscale play is required. Those specifics decide whether the game works with your setup, and they are not covered by the general listing data.
Under nine dollars at launch
One Day To Live is on Steam at $9.99. The launch discount has ended and this is the standard price, verified on 6 September 2026. The promotion ends when the launch window closes.
Nine dollars is modest for a VR survival game with both co-op and PvP, and the infection-clock idea gives it a structure most zombie titles lack. The caution is scope: this is a small studio release with a single genre tag, no achievements and English-only support, so temper expectations against the price rather than against a full-budget VR production.
If you own a headset and want short, tense survival runs you can play with friends, it is a low-risk purchase. If you do not own a headset, this one is simply not for you.
