groan is a AR game based on the struggle of the aftereffects of a hefty night adventuring on Drunk-Earthquake Simulator. youre still disoriented and left with the nausic uneasy stumbling feeling of your previous night (earthquakes can leave you pretty hung over amirite?)

only this time youre presented with the fuzz, a visual hallucination that strips down randomly picked items and makes them a different color, this mixed with a surround sound pitch discombobulation/distortion setup causes the user to feel like they cant hear and/or can hear things that are not there, pretty much driving the person crazy. this is on top of the Drunk-Earthquake Simulator effects making the person focused on staying upright. your screen gets slowly covered in black fuzzy lines and your job is to go around and find items to aid you before you 'pass out' (ingame)

these items include the almighty power-raids drank, cups of water, pizzah and many other items to ease the effects of your earthquake like symptoms. this game requires you to be able to walk around your house using an AR headset and hand held controller.

you could just use a chainsaw i mean that would make it alot easier to cut the trees but, youre a lumberjack and its not as cool as an axe (debatable) once you finally cut the first tree(level) you move onto another tree which will prompt a new series of attacks from different creatures and also children??? yes, why not. there are now children running through the forrest and you need to not click on them otherwisse the police will come get you! we cant have that can we, nothing shall hinder the amazing woodcutting.

this game is played on VR (given you have a decent amount of room for SLAMMING) and you (as mentioned) have to grab players using the VR handheld remote and start thrashing them about to gain more points. the only way to get the person to let go it to locate where they are holding you and swipe them off of you (also using the handheld controller) you can also stun players by knocking them slim slammin onto the ground but you will be deducted points for doing so. you can team if you want but isn't going to collaborate points between players, this causes players to turn on eachother. points are given to the players that are slammed the least and the players that slam the most.

you can run around and try not to get yourself a slammin; or you could try be the one doing the slammin.

the question is bold and clear, its a simple question that we have to ask all puppers and doggos for they must know the answers to such querys. the good boy is one who proves he is infact a good boy, or girl for that matter. the good boy has to go through a series of daily tasks such as walking, fetching, not chasing the cat, just the norm to be a good boy.

your job is to decide through a profile of each dog you come across if they are infact a good boy or not. you get a limited amount of "yes you is a good boy" and "no, bad dog" and an equal amount of doggos to judge, you must look over the entire profile to find right down to the fine details of what the doggo does and compare it to the other doggos. your judgment (playing as a judge) gets passed onto the leaderboards that the people with dogs post their dogs and descriptions onto and the points are distributed through the random judges through the "good dog bad dog" judging system.

this is a wild colorful multiplayer online game which makes artists actually talk to each other (because thats totally a thing that happens) the idea of the game is to paint a canvas that expresses your response to a question prompted by a random player, you're dropped into a room filled with blank canvases along with as many as 2-10 other players and your HUD displays a message reading your question that you have to ask a player or group of players. then they (without verbally answering) go and paint a picture visually describing what their answer to your question.

this is a great way to bring creative minds together and boost a social economy within the art community (other then the mass post blogs on every social media ever forever and ever was will be.) all canvases are then titled with the question that prompted the art and it is submitted to a gallery where artists and non-artists can view them, this could make potential art jobs for people who have distinctive art styles and gets your name spread around.

this game is a horror game inspired by movies of the likes of "it follows" and "mirrors". it is a (physically) open world game projected with AR headsets. the use of the headset maps everything around you and takes all the reflective surfaces in your surrounding area to project gahstly faces. only at first you wont notice them to begin with, they will be projected far away from the surface, not all the time but still occasionally.

your job is to either pull away from the view of the reflection or cover it (the monster moves closer very slowly and saves the distance) you need to make sure you avoid more reflections the closer it gets because when the monster reaches the surface it will break out and run for you, and threes no stopping it when it gets through.

reflections could be anything from a water faucet to the water in the sink, windows, tvs. anything you can see a reflection in.

a game testing the wits of your speed and imagination! you're trapped underground (because you're a big ol' flippity floppity wormo) you must gather your strength and rise through the damp surface of the world at incredible high speeds! why?? WHO KNOWS? you're hungry driven for oxygen of the over-world and you need to navigate your way at super duper speedily around the rocks and other pointless obstacles in your way deep below the dirt. you'll gain more power-ups the closer to the surface you get, speed, strength and munch. speed is self titled and strength helps you break through solid objects in your way and much will help you nom down the dirt in your path making it alot easier to move around obstecles.

the endgame is when you hit the surface and the overall speed you are at when you take off will determine how far you travel (the further you go the more oxygen you'll get (for some reason thats your goal)) hitting objects without your power-ups will slow you down and negatively impact your score/

a fitness game for VR that makes you push your fatigue level. you're dropped into a frozen world of icy trees and softly falling snow flakes, but you're cold, very cold and you need to keep running to keep out of the not so warm embrace of the infamous not so hyper-thermia, gauged by a warmth meter that drops every time you stop moving.

the levels start getting longer the further you progress and in the later levels you're presented with alternate obstacles like jumping over logs and debris to having to do short sprints from wolves.

the idea is that you're ment to run on the spot with some sort of motion capture deciding if you're moving your legs and that tells the game how fast you're running while the VR system shows you what you're running through, vice-versa for jumping over things. additionally you could turn on a fan and open your windows to make the room feel a lot colder to fit with the game aesthetic.
