I Expect You to Die
© 2018 Schell Games
1/28/2021 A second edition was announced for "Spring 2021." After you put on your VR headset and pick up your hand controllers (both required), you find yourself in a problem solving situation -- where every second counts. The game is fun, safe virtual reality puzzle that requires a lot of problem solving and higher order thinking; mixed in with fine and gross motor manipulation. You are rewarded for attention to detail, thinking outside the box and remembering sequences. As of July 2018, content includes five simulations: Friendly Skies (figure out how to start a car and drive it out of of an airplane); Squeaky Clean (work as a window washer to save the city from poisonous gas); Deep Dive (use scuba gear to get to the surface); Winter Break (evade booby traps and disable an anti-gravity machine); and First Class (survive an attack on a classy train). Each mission is timed, so it's fun to race against yourself. We tested the PlayStation VR system extensively in our library and found it to be a good social game. It was first released in December of 2016. Designed for Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality.
