The Utility Room

The Utility Room is a VR journey across a barren, rocky and dangerous world. You have travelled through space for 3 million years to the edge of the Universe, where you reach the entrance to the Utility Room, a cosmic landmark known to many but rarely visited. Your body has changed during the journey, and the megalithic environments and beings around you dwarf you in scale. Most entities pay little attention to you, but the world is dangerous and does not ensure your safety.

The Utility Room

Beyond the entrance, a being known as Bin man oversees the maintenance and heavy lifting that keep existence stable and temporal. Rumour says he was hired as the cosmic caretaker 13.8 billion years ago. The world’s giant rocky heads represent eight entities with different jobs in the Room; collecting them unlocks information in the HEAD LOG.

Movement and exploration

You can move through the world using teleportation or smooth locomotion, though some precarious areas require you to use both. There are two kinds of jump: a standard jump for smaller gaps and a Leap for larger ones. To Leap, squeeze the grips on both controllers; their vibrations speed up, and swinging your arms then makes you jump farther. Climbing is optional and is not a major part of the gameplay.
