Simon Cooks

Simon Cooks is a virtual reality game in which a cute cat makes jam and must be protected from greedy little sweet-toothed creatures.

The game stands out for its unconventional controls and lovingly designed characters. Particularly noteworthy are the input methods involving head-shaking, whistling, calling out and staring, which, thanks to the Oculus Rift, open up a new form of immersion. Each opponent has its own distinct character, and non-violent actions can be used to prevent them from stealing the ingredients. The development team has found its own style and is exploring innovative approaches to gameplay. It combines aesthetic innovations with sophisticated technologies without becoming too entrenched in a rigid design. The smooth head movements help to reduce motion sickness.
