A memory/action game played in virtual reality, where the player is firstly allowed to explore a house or building filled with regular furnishings and objects. They are told to remember each object's location before a timer shown to the user either as a UI element or in the form of a visual effect - such as the world becoming 'swirly' (as television shows so frequently use to show the start of a dream sequence).

After this timer runs out, every object suddenly transforms anthropomorphically into beings that look alike to the original form, that will then run around chaotically - bumping into other objects and in general running away from the player at a fast rate. A yoga ball for instance might grow frog-like legs and hands and start hopping around, croaking.

The player's goal is to catch each object and return them to their original positions by picking them up with VR controls and taking them back, at which point they will change into their original form.

VR technology is very beneficial to this game, increasing the immersion and feeling of chaos for the player. One limitation is moving around a space as large as a house, especially if one must run to catch the objects.
