This VR Journey takes you to the 'behind the scenes' of the Universe. Beyond a door lies a barren landscape inhabited by strange rocky heads. Here, the maintenance and heavy lifting required keeps existence stable and temporal. You are a tourist. Don't do anything foolish.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

The Utility Room was bricked for 12 hours because I'm an absolute tool and despite every effort to get things right I managed to push the wrong build breaking tons of stuff. The real update just got pushed properly and everything should be in working order now. My apologies! Lionel
YOSpent the past month getting The Utility Room running on an android headset to prepare for the Steam Frame. I'll be honest - I don't know if it will work perfectly because I've not been sent one by Valve, but it works great on the evil Zucc headset so I'd be surprised. Should come with eye tracking out the box! It's available right now. If any of you get your hands on it before me let me know if it works!Anyway - making it I was forced to make VR's 'biggest' game run on VR's smallest stand-alone headset, and this meant playing around with some of the levels. Not everything is available on th
Play The Time Machine! It has a new trailer! Also check out Jacob Geller's new video featuring it!I am writing this deliriously tired. Putting that aside... THIS IS UPDATE 1.7 - REPRIMANDS AND ROLLER COASTERS. Your favourite 3 year old arthouse virtual reality adventure game but not really a game but it is a game... Its a game - has an update!The Utility Room Roller CoasterWhats that? Rollercoaster? Really? The VR trope? the 2016 BBC Breakfast CNN News novelty segment. Yes, thats rooight, and you'll hate it, unless you live in VR you'll be sick. But the idea is good right? It fits The Utility
Anyone catch the Jacob Geller video with The Time Machine in it? Pretty awesome huh? Here's a link if you want to see it.Anyways.... if you follow my YouTube channel you might have seen video called 'Binman's Reprimand - Updated 2026'.

I'll do a major update post when its ready and tell you all about the changes - its actually A LOT. I got a bit carried away. Nothing to worry about its all good things. Its mainly br

Yo if you guys haven't heard I've got a new game coming out. Its calledTHE TIME MACHINEI have decided that November 4th is a reasonable date for it to be released. Its pretty close to being done - currently doing a touch up on the sound and fixing bugs. You can wishlist it here: Thanks for being patient! Exciting stuff!Lionel
Okay first things first peeps The Time Machine is coming along very well its in BETA and the sound is being added. Might open playtests up but still not sure - might want to keep it secret a bit longer. Will let everyone know. I'm hoping for October but it could be November!In other news! Myself and the Multimedia Rockband art collective called Rockband1 (me and 3 friends haha) are having an event in Oval, London. Anyone in the London area please come! Its FREE and I'd love to have a chat. It'll be a good place to meet people and connect + see some grass roots digital art stuff in London.Here

We have discovered a Virtual Reality exhibition. Encoded in a non-physical plane, this exhibition was found by myself and a research team called Rockband 1. We have been working to recover its corridors and exhibits from void-space. We believe it is part of a Compendium of all known things and events. Check it out! You can access it via the Main Menu of The Utility Room. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42727016/0dfc792a704773481d51e5f2d04bc1167cccf174.png ^ Photoscanned bag of dog poo stolen from reality in London on the 14/06/2024. It features: People who may or may not be really dead. Poo. Backwards lump
a few minor updates and fixes + sculpture park content. If you want your artwork, 3D models or photography featured in The Utility Room Sculpture Park send it to lionelmarsden@kinglumps.com or post it in the Discord/Reddit/Steam Community tab.

been up all night finding a workaround to this loser problem. Fixed now though! Still don't know what was causing it. Recent SteamVR updates??? Use Oculus OpenXR if you can it seems much more stable, reliable and performative at the moment.
Howdy folks! Apologies on lateness. Went home for Christmas. Hope yous all had a decent one. This update is called Anxiety Nothingness and the Logic Machine. You know.., that feeling you get when you stand up too quickly. In my mind, the Maze chapter is Anxiety Nothingness and The Computer is the Logic Machine. Make of that what you will. They've seen the biggest upgrades this update alongside parts of The Reprimand - in particular the Chase sequence. I felt The Utility Room lagged a bit in the caves at the start (where'd I get that idea from?). Not intentionally, the foundation is there and i
Beta has been updated. Expecting to drop this week. Index cable is broken and delivery got botched. Is everyone on Index problem free? Ping me a message if anything comes up or just to assure me. Hope everyones New Year went well! Good things to come!
