Forest Boy (VR) (2021)

For the LTU Infinite Machine New Years Jam (2021)

(VR ONLY)  Visit a spooky forest at midnight and play with Avery, the floating forest serpent. 

Avery will chase a thrown object and bring it back, will eat food thrown to him (but not if it touches the ground), will allow the player to place objects on him (hats + sunglasses), and will allow the player to pet/groom him on the head (no visible impact).

I tested with an Oculus Rift and a Quest 2, so I know for certain they work with those.

There are a couple of bugs if you use both controllers at the same time, so I recommend only using one.

No sound.

HOW TO PLAY

If you have an oculus-branded device, make sure to enable Unknown Sources in the Settings > General tab of the Oculus software.

For other HMDs, I think there's a similar setting in their relevant software (if needed).

CONTROLS

Grip button: Grab things

(non-grip) trigger: whistle to get Avery's attention and reset all items (not the ones Avery is wearing).
