OctoRaid VR

OctoRaid VR is an asymmetric PvP party game for VR and other platforms. VR players become Octo, a giant octopus monster, while players on PC or mobile take the role of Hunters, shopping mall employees with a diver concept. The teams fight in OctoMall, an American shopping mall themed around the 1980s, with neon signs, retro surroundings and unusual underwater floors.

Octo and the Hunters

Octo wins by attacking the Hunter team and consuming 10 Hunter lives. Octo can damage Hunters by throwing props to cause explosions or by throwing Hunters into the water, where they take damage over time. Hunters win by reducing Octo’s HP to zero, shooting soda cans at Octo’s head. The Hunter team has more players than Octo, and Hunters can respawn as many times as their Hunter lives allow.

Octo’s abilities

Octo uses its tentacles to reach, move around the mall and throw objects. You can stretch a tentacle forward from the VR controller, with a laser guide and an X icon showing its reach. To move, grab a neon column with a tentacle; it turns green when held. Pull your arm in the opposite direction from where you want to go, and Octo moves that way. Neon pillars turn red during movement. Octo can also grab nearby props and throw them forward, or catch a Hunter and hurl them into the water.

Hunter equipment

Hunters collect different sodas around the map and fire them with their soda guns. Their shots vary by platform and include miniguns, shotguns and grenade launchers. Hunters aim with the right mouse button and shoot with the left. Those equipped with a Soda Jetpack can use a grappling hook: hold E to aim at a hook position, then release it to launch.
