VR Fighters is a virtual reality RPG game (Hey, the name COULD have been alluding to jetfigthers for all you know :P). The game will place you in the virtual world of Brawlerock where danger is abound and treasure is plentiful. You create and customize your character and choose a race for your character as per usual. Once your creation is complete you are transported into Brawlerock City, the capital of Brawlerock. You can train yourself in the skills of a warrior, mage or archer. More classes will become available as you explore the world and talk to certain people. After learning the basics you can explore the open world of Brawlerock and take up quests from the local residents. Quests will typically be a treasure hunt, a courier job or being asked to explore a place to slay a beast or exterminate bandits.

The catch with this game is that you are the physical controller for the character. So you must swing your arm to swing the sword and push your hand forward to block with the shield and so on.

Wartime Luxury

In this escape room players will take on the role of survivors from World War III that has ravaged your town and most of the world (or whatever is left of it anyways…). You will run into this house in an attempt to flee from the corrupt militants that are trying to recapture you. You lose the militants but find out that the door has been jammed shut and cannot be opened. You must find a way out of this house without making too much noise, as militants will still be patrolling your area and will hear if you try to break down doors/walls etc. Every door in the house seems locked but there are clues scattered around that will help you figure out how to get out of the house quietly. (NOTE: you do not get out of the house through the front door.

You start off at the room with the welcome mat and you can see a lamp, a couple of couches, a shelf, a piano and a stool. When you start looking for clues you will look under couches/on the shelf/ under the mats and stools and you will start finding ripped notes that combined together to create a portion of a song which will pay homage to the previous World War II. Once you have all of the scripts and have arranged them correctly based on how they were ripped, you will play the notes on the piano (making sure you don't press any keys too hard to make less noise) and if played correctly, the door next to the piano will click, meaning that you have found the "key" to that door.

You proceed into the living room and you can see a big brown couch, another lamp, a TV set and a circular mat, along with two doors. Rummaging in the room, you will find more ripped scripts of another piece of music (that represents a homage to World War I this time). However you will quickly find out that not all of the scripts for this song are present, or you will attempt to play the piece and no doors will click open. The scripts you find are for later but you need to gain access to the other rooms to be able to collect the missing scripts. However if you have checked properly, you may be able to see or feel an odd lump in the couch's underside. This lump is actually a button and you will hear multiple doors click. The doors that lead to the bathroom and the two bedrooms are now opened and you can proceed to these rooms now.

Upon entering a bathroom you will see a shower unit, a red mat, a sink unit, a towel railing, a pedal bin and an unlocked door to the toilet (which also has a toilet paper holder in it). Searching through the bathroom will get you some more music scripts for that WWI song but you find it still incomplete. You however notice that the pedal bin has 3 pedals and also a musical mechanism that will play a single note at a different each time it is stepped on. This musical bin becomes important as part of the final puzzle, but before that you will go to both the bedrooms and rummage through the cabinets and chests and beds for the rest of the notes for your WWI music script.

Upon collecting all of the scripts and compiling them back into one ordered script you will see that there are extra notes that stands alone from the WWI song. These notes are meant to be played at the musical bin after the main song is played on the piano. Upon completing both tasks correctly AND in that order you will hear another click back in the living room. Upon closer inspection or by accident you will find out (either by searching or falling through) that part of the floor under the circular mat has given way to a staircase that leads down to a tunnel that will let you escape the house and get to the nearest safe-zone without worrying about the militants above ground

Rock Skipper+ is a game that takes direct inspiration from the rock skipping activity, which is an act of throwing a rock towards water in the hopes that it "skips" along the water as far as possible before sinking into the water. But Rock Skipper+ is designed to be waaaay better than the real life game! This game does not require physical strength or perfect techniques, so you are not disadvantaged against your more beefier friends. This game relies more on the timing and the power you "pitch" the rock with your in-game character (who has the same strength as everyone else's character). In this game you are still trying to get your rock as far as possible in terms of horizontal distances, however there are many different niches that come with this game. For example there are powerups and obstacles that can either increase your rocks' velocity or give it some vertical air, or hinder your rock by applying the opposite effects. You can compare your distance score with your friends and the world via the Friends/World Leaderboards.

Beat That is a two player online puzzle game that you can play against an AI or against a fellow human (I don't think animals can play computer games...) The game has two parts to it, the game will randomly decide who is the drawer and who is the runner. The drawer will take his "turn" to draw out a maze within a set amount of time and after the time runs out the runner must navigate his way through the maze before his time runs out. The runner will get a lead (like tennis) over the drawer if he can complete the maze, however the drawer will get a point if the runner runs out of time to navigate through the maze. The roles are then switched and now the old runner will be the new drawer and vice versa. The game will continue like this until a person has a 2 point difference more than his opponent. The timer to draw/run the maze and the size of the game screen can be adjusted by the player as wanted. Beat That is aimed to be a competitive game that you and your friends can try to outspeed each other in both drawing and running mazes.

Your character (which you personalize) and your world around you is a lot cooler than what you are in real life. You have superpowers of your choice, based on what kind your character (randomly generated) dreams of. The shape, looks and people in the world are also made randomly as you progress through the game. Memory of Dreams has a storyline that will involve recurring characters regardless of your character traits.

Use your given powers to help you overcome obstacles, scale treacherous territory, gather a band of merry men (and women) and form a base in which you can find safety, shelter, food and fun.

Dam Scientist is a platformer game where you must guide Dam (the mad scientist) through his rival's labs to steal their technology for your own use. Dam specializes in creating various explosives and is trained in the art of parkour. So Dam will basically navigate his way through the rival labs, dodging defense systems and getting to hard to reach places, and whatever he cant accomplish with his speed and agility, he just blows up his obstacles. For Dam to have access to explosives however he must find the materials needed to make his various bombs. The materials can be taken from the shelves of other labs (make them pay for leaving volatile substances in reach) and his bombs can be made on site. But even still the bombs require a vast amount of different ingredients so you will still have to make the tough decisions on when to save the bombs for difficult/impassable obstacles or using them to make a loud distraction (or a big hole) from/in that expensive laser cannon. You have limited health and only one life so clear as many labs as possible and steal as much research as possible before you get killed.

You will have to run away from the chasers till you lose them, then repeat to annoy people. The game is over when you are caught by a raged character and you will get a grade based on how many people you managed to tick off.

Skittle is a head to head two player game where the aim of the game is to knock off as many counters of your opponents on the game board as possible. The game starts off with two sides, the Red team and the Blue team (this can be played with an AI as well). Each side has the same number of coloured counters at the middle of the board. Each team also has a puck, like in Air Hockey and with the pucks, there is the main "ball" that you will be knocking around to hit your counters to defend them from falling off the board or to go on the offensive to knock off your opponents counters. For each counter you knock off you get a point and there is a single large counter that is harder to knock off because of its size, so therefore it is more rewarding as it gives you five points. The winner of the game is decided after ninety seconds from the start of the game, when the clock stops ticking.

The day you lose items (level) will vary and you could lose your items on the last day of the school week, so act fast!

G-Shift is a open world 3D game where you are playing as Zero, a being of energy capable of manipulating gravity to his own will and liking. This game does not any story as such so your only goal is to have fun with your gravitational powers (at the expense of everyone else.) Reduce the gravity in area's to make objects float around in the air like they were paperweights, then use your gravity "force" to chuck said objects at people, or other objects for some chaotic madness, or watch them fly all the way up to heaven (or until they run out of air in outer space) Or you can do the reverse and intensify gravity so and watch in hilarity as the filthy humans struggle to crawl their way under 100g's. Make objects so heavy that they start to sink through the ground, leaving holes that lead to the depths of hell, unleashing the full fury of the fiends inside.

Greenhouse is a plant-growing simulator game with a few tricks. The how-to-play is simple, water your plants in your greenhouse till they grow and bear fruit, sell said fruit to different markets for the highest price, buy new plant seeds, fertilizers and greenhouse upgrades and repeat till you are a millionaire are. You start off with a run-down greenhouse with hardly any sunlight coming through it and a few pitiful seedlings. You must care for them a lot initially as they will take a while to grow when you do not have access to any high grade fertilizer or other additives, but once you get your place up and running farming will be like taking candy from a baby.

However this game (as mentioned before) has a few tricks up its sleeves. Firstly you must contend with competitions by either growing your plants so fast and healthy/pure that customers will only go to you for their needs, or sabotage the competition by sneaking into their greenhouse and spraying chemicals to rot or even kill their crops. Be warned though this could happen to you and if you are the culprit in a break-in, you will be arrested and will not be able to tend to your crops for a while.

There is also the option to break the "white-hat" farming methods and choose to grow illegal plants like weed. You can then sell the illegal plants in black markets for a higher profit, however this comes with risks again as the police keep track of all of the black markets and will raid some of them at random. If the police find a receipt of you selling illegal goods to raided black markets (receipt is cleaned after 30 days) you will be sent to jail.

Ultimate Scavenger is a open world Virtual Reality game where you are put into the islands of Lazalrio. In this game you take up a visualized version of yourself and will embark on an adventure like no other. Your goal is in the title, scavenge. But this isn't one of those typical scavenge to survive a zombie horde game no no no! Its more like a scavenger hunt. You are part of a huge competition within the Islands of Lazalrio and the goal of the competition is to find a variety of items, relics, and other treasures and hold on to as many of them as you can until the competition ends. The islands of Lazalrio are populated by a whole variety of different characters who are also part of this epic competition.

You will start off with a simple hut and basic storage to store your resources but you will need to upgrade your humble abode into a mini-fortress if you want to safeguard the precious treasure that will win you the competition. You will also need to find clues as to where these treasures are hidden, this will most likely lead you to a puzzle or dungeon of some kind that you will have to risk your life to gain the treasure. If your health drops to 0 in any way you will be knocked unconscious and time will go forward a few in-game hours before you wake up back at your base.

Be warned, you will have to balance your time you spend building defenses for your house and treasures and finding the treasures itself. This game supports multiplayer and other players can steal your items in a bid to get ahead of the competition. You can also challenge people to a duel and wager in treasures, another way to get treasures from someone.

TripleThrift is a game where you must make the correct preparations as the chief executive of a new brand of energy drink called TripleThrift . The purpose of TripleThrift is to give consumers a boost in their energy levels and keep them awake and thinking throughout their tough daily routines, so naturally TripleThrift is aimed at the teenagers and university students (since parents will despise these unhealthy products). They do have a point though, too much sugar or any other unnatural additives that can alter the final TripleThrift vision will result in disastrous consequences from the public and government bodies (if the TripleThrift product goes HORRIBLY wrong.)

For each level you must manage all of the facilities in your TripleThrift factory to make sure your product is both safe and effective like your vision wants it to be. To do this you will monitor many of the main ingredients that go into the drink and will adjust the amounts accordingly. The amount of different products (and amounts) will vary with each level, so you must be diligent and very careful with your tinkering. There will also be natural (or unnatural) interference like blackouts or ninja saboteurs which will force you to increase/decrease production of certain ingredients. After production time has run out you will send your TripleThrift product to the public and will get a general grade (A+ to F) based on three categories; the taste of TripleThrift , the effectiveness and the healthiness and safety of your TripleThrift product.

Study Hard is a game set in a local university near you. You are a student at said university and you have a very important test coming up. But what's this, you have left studying to the last minute (as usual). Normally your arse would be handed to you at this level but what the world doesn't know about you is your unknown talents of being able to slow down time. You get back from university at 6:30 so you can use this ability to your advantage to get in as much study as possible before midnight (you have to sleep for your brain to be fully functional naturally.)

There are a couple problems with this though. Firstly when you use your powers you glow bright blue so you cannot be seen trying to slow down time in public (aka your family), otherwise you will be taken straight to the hospital and therefore miss your test the next day. Secondly you are playing the biggest procrastinator in the world and are therefore easily distracted by things like video games and social media and memes, so you must find ways to study without having to use your computer and risk wasting time (for reasons unknown your procrastination nulls your ability to slow down time.) To win the game your memory meter (represented by a brain) must reach a certain amount (changes every level) before midnight to retain enough from your revision to pass or even ace your test!

Chargin' Up is a dungeon based game where you are not playing the hero, rather you are his guardian angel. The dungeon he is exploring has been cursed by an evil witch and it is now guarded (or haunted) by evil shadows that consume anything on sight be it man or animal. The aim of the game is to provide enough light so that the the hero can get through as much of the endless dungeon as he can without being killed by the shadows. To do this you must click on any light source that is not active in the dungeon to light it temporarily. Light acts as a safe zone as it will dissipate any shadows that are caught within it, The hero will be attracted to the light so he will follow the light until it stops, in that case he will also stop moving. You must guide the hero through to the door which leads to the next level of the (endless) dungeon. However as the levels progress you must be fast yet careful, the lights you illuminate will run out after a short time and there are also trap rooms that are designed to kill intruders that the hero may accidently stumble upon.

Mystery Game is a, well... mystery game. The "mysteries" as such are however randomly-generated. That means the cinema layout, the culprits and the clues will always be changed up each playthrough. This game takes place in a cinema theater and the objective of the game is to figure out who has murdered the cinema manager. You will be placed right at the crime scene and your first step will be to analyse the dead body of the manager to find clues as to who killed him and how. You may find notes or items that will give you hints as to who murdered the manager. The clues in the first couple of levels will be easy as the clues on the dead body will practically point out the culprit, but after that the clues given wont be enough as the culprits will become better disguised and they will also attempt to sabotage you by placing traps and false clues. Oh yeah and if you guess a wrong culprit you will lose your job for false accusations.
