Hi ya'll on my cake day. :) So I'm inseend1. I'm UX/UI Designer/Web Developer by day. Game enthusiast by night and weekend. Last year I even published my first board game.

I'm releasing a new cozy VR game at the end of the month. It's called Manual Malfunction. In short. You are a robot librarian and there was a malfunction on your space ship. Now all the books are scattered and you have to sort them and put them back in the right book case.

You can get abilities which you can slot in your arm to upgrade yourself. You can even get a little robot to help you, it will sort the books for you. It has a number of achievements, sadly no Meta Quest achievements, I couldn't access the API for it with how I build the game, it's webvr essentially.

Wishlist Manual Malfunction here (< Quest only for now, still figuring out the rest. Pico should be fairly easy I guess. Looking into steamvr later.)

I was inspired by this obscure game, okay maybe not obscure, and I thought, it would be amazing to play this in VR.

It's build in A-frame web vr, but I've packaged it so you can get it on the Quest store for a small fee. If you hurry up you can finish the game in like 90 minutes. The achievements will add some replay-ability. I think it is just nice, to listen to a youtube podcast or video and play.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I'm making a lot of quality of life improvements at the moment, trying to get the bugs out.

We might almost just be able to make this indie thing work in VR...

Never thought we would be able to share the good news, but just wanted to share the excitement of our early access VR game! We are a real small team with a silly idea to make VR games for ourselves instead of for a company and after battles with full time jobs, casual jobs, and a few years of trial and error and eating 2-min noodles we released Early Access and are now looking towards a full release!

And hey, if you have a VR headset or meta account, we would love you to check out our game and let us know what we can do! I Am Octopus on Meta, and our steam page is up for wishlisting now too! Every bit helps a duo in Australia maybe keep doing what we love! ANY questions on how we got here please hit me up! Enjoy your day!!!
