Description

When I was a teenager, I was one of the lucky few who got to experience a game very much like Otherworld before it was shut down. When I heard rumblings it was being reimagined for VR, I knew it was something Kirsten and I had to write about. Part mythic adventure, part sci-fi love story, entirely cautionary tale we wanted to reach the new generation of potential players before this game becomes a reality. - Jason Segel There are no screens. There are no controls. You dont just see and hear ityou taste, smell, and touch it too. In this new reality, there are no laws to break or rules to obey. You can live your best life. Indulge every desire. Its a game so addictive youll never want it to end. Until you realize that youre the one being played. Step into the future. Leave your body behind. Welcome to Otherworld.
