Subsurface special operations training in Virtual Attain
Virtual Attain is a CryENGINE-based training solution from RealTime Immersive Inc., the Orlando company that rebranded as Mass Virtual. In 2014 the company was building a subsurface special operations game on it for soldiers who had already completed their basic training.

What Virtual Attain is
Virtual Attain is a training solution powered by CryENGINE, the game engine from Crytek. It was inspired by work inside the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Special Operations Command and was developed by RealTime Immersive Inc., a simulation and serious games company based in Orlando, Florida. The company later rebranded as Mass Virtual.
In June 2014 RealTime Immersive was building a serious game for subsurface special operations on top of it. The company released an in-game video segment of the subsurface environment, which it used to show what its CryENGINE tools can do across its serious games projects. It had recently moved its development team into the Central Florida Research Park, the Orlando area's simulation and training hub.
What it trains and for whom
Virtual Attain is designed for soldiers who already received training in areas such as patrol operations, casualty evacuation, call for fire, egress and special operations tactics. It does not teach those skills from scratch. It lets learners put skills they learned elsewhere to work in a simulated team environment. The scenario is a team exercise, so each learner's skills have to fit with the group's.
Review features are a central part of the design. They support a play style in which players make critical decisions in high-pressure, time-limited situations, with the aim of improving situational awareness in hostile environments. RealTime Immersive pitched this approach at rising live training costs and shrinking budgets at all levels of government, military and commercial organizations, by building live, virtual and constructive learning experiences.

What is true today
The company's former web address, rt-immersive.com, no longer loads as of November 2026. Mass Virtual's website is online and describes the company as a software maker providing spatial learning in extended reality, with a platform called MassXR. The pages for the home, about, platform and projects sections do not mention Virtual Attain, CryENGINE or a subsurface special operations game.
The homepage says its technology is "Deployed enterprise-wide to 207+ global units supporting 31,000 USAF annually", which is the company's own claim. With no official page for Virtual Attain or the subsurface game, both are listed as unconfirmed.
