Catharsis - release of the shimmer
A procedual VR game exploring emotions
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Emotions are a strong power. Swirling us away and taking us to places we would never have visited otherwise. A beautiful experience to balance and nourish, holding back and releasing at the right moment.
A realisation from past experiences of pushing emotions too hard in some states, can make us see that we shrink the outcome of non-existence. Delay the inevitable, take a step back and care and evolve yourself to enter a new space where the timing is right and you can let your emotions out; matured and fine-tuned.
Listening, observing and understanding in all dimensions is key to make your emotions shimmer, and it’s not until then you will reach the final Catharsis.
We hope you will enjoy the game! / Nevyn, Klas & Sanna

I'm also impressed by the level of work that must have gone into this.
Accomplishing a VR-game in a 72 h hackathon is remarkable!
It's also cool to see explorations of some neat stuff like proximity triggers and changing the world where the player isn't currently looking at it. These things have already been done in 3d games before, of course, but they feel fresh, since VR really adds a new dimension to them.
Great ambiance & music, too. Well done.
