Dishonored
Swing Corvo's sword with your own arm, aim Blink with your hand and read health and mana off your wrists, all installed from one launcher.
The catch: Steam only in practice, and it wants a 120 Hz-capable setup and a strong GPU.

Launch Kit
Get Dishonored running
Steps are general until you ; then the runtime step matches your headset.
-
Set your VR runtime
Pick your OpenXR runtime: the Meta Horizon Link app for Link or Air Link, Virtual Desktop's VDXR for Virtual Desktop, or SteamVR for Index, Beyond and Pico. The creator supports SteamVR too; if a later step says "start SteamVR or your VR runtime", this runtime is enough and you can skip SteamVR.
General step from us -
Install Dishonored (Steam)
Install it and launch it once in flat mode to finish first-time setup, then quit.

Stuck?
SteamVR's native 32-bit OpenXR shows the image upside down; use the bundled SteamVR bridge option
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Image can shrink to a small square after dying until the next load
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
A spring razor placed very close can be invisible
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Starting Dishonored.exe directly instead of through Steam can crash at the main menu
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
OpenXR capture tools cannot record the 32-bit game
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Black screen in the headset
This mod uses OpenXR. Check the active OpenXR runtime matches how you connect (the Set your VR runtime step), then start Link or Virtual Desktop before the game. General tip from us
Controllers don't show up
Start Link, Virtual Desktop or SteamVR before the game, and make sure the controllers are awake before launch. General tip from us
Stutter or low frame rate
Lower the in-game resolution or render scale first, then shadows and volumetrics. Close overlays you don't need. General tip from us
The mod didn't load at all
Recheck the game version against the creator's page; a game update is the most common cause. Then reinstall the mod files. General tip from us
