Cat, Dog, Bird? Is a life simulator game in which the player acts out the life of a cat, a dog or a bird. The player can choose which animal they would like to play as at the beginning of the game and will get to customise the look of their animal before they begin playing and will get to decide whether they wish to be the pet of someone or a stray roaming the city.

Once the game begins the player has free reign as to what the wish to do: they may explore the city, be a nuisance, hunt for food or play with other animals and humans.

All of the interactions between the player and the environment serve to influence their mood gauge which consists of hunger, happiness and bladder control. It is completely up to the player how they keep these meters filled or if they even wish to.

Players will have a life expectancy which is a pre-set amount of time played as the animal.

There will be a list of interactions available to the player depending on the animal chosen and will provoke reactions from the animals and humans around them: for example, a cat may decide they wish to relieve themselves indoors instead of out and provoke a disgusted reaction from humans.

There is also a food chain of sorts: dogs will chase cats and cats will chase birds, however, friendships can be formed between species and 'hang out' together if they wish.

There will also be a multiplayer aspect where friends can roam the same instance of the city together and interact with the game world together.

Each animal has their own strengths and weaknesses: the bird can fly but is extremely weak and prone to being a bit of a troll, the cat is extremely nimble and quick but finds it hard to make friends and the dog is very resilient and quick to make friends but very slow in comparison to the cat and bird.

Gun Simulator is game for the Occulus Rift where the player selects from a range of guns available to them at their level. This selection will be small at first and consist of only pistols. As the player takes these weapons out to the firing range and uses them, they will gain experience and mastery. Once the player gains enough experience they will unlock several new weapons to practise with. Mastery shows how proficient the player is with a specific weapon and when this is mastered, thier mastery level increases. Once their mastery level is high enough, the player can then turn in the mastery points for unlockables such as new firing ranges, differing game modes, and cash to purchase new weapons ahead of their experience level.

The game will have a multiplayer aspect to it as well. This is where two or more players will connect and engage in a contest to see who can score the highest amount of points in a certain amount of time, like a time trial mode. There will also be another game mode where the competing players have to finish a series of ranged firing tests: the first to do so wins.

Key Features:

-Multiplayer aspect

-Great for gun enthusiasts!

-Realistic operation of weapons that grant a sense of realism

-Great unlockables (and even some secrets if you pay attention within some ranges)
