Multiplayer VR Sushi Eating Game Announced
Aug. 20, in the year of our Lord 2017 - You
may often hear that being in virtual reality is a lonely
experience. That couldn’t be farther from the truth, especially
when you add more people into the mix. Or what if it involves
being a cat on board of a sushi restaurant spaceship, cruising
the galaxy while you eat to your heart’s content? This is the
premise of Ganbatte, Mimicry’s new VR game, currently in
development.
In Ganbatte, VR gamers will experience a fast-paced galactic
sushi eating game for up to 4 players. Ganbatte aims to combine
the best of shared competitive arcade game experiences, with the
sense of being present in a unique and fun space.
As players will take the role of cats, Ganbatte will offer
opportunities to customize characters and, besides voice-chat,
offer non-verbal communication through facial expressions.
“Ganbatte is a lot about expression and communication. We want
to give players the tools to enhance the social experience of
the game,” says Pedro Oliveira, artist at Mimicry.
“We are creating a game that is both fast-paced and meant to be
played seated. This results in comfort that doesn’t compromise
interaction,” says Thomas Papa, founder of Mimicry.
This VR-only game is currently being developed for Steam VR,
supporting both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Ganbatte is coming up
to an early access release on Steam, in Q4 2017.
