A downloadable VR Experience for Windows

The idea behind this 3-week experimental jam was to create an experience that could happen only in VR. JASC - Bigger on the Inside is all about the perception of physical space, letting the player experience spatial paradoxes and giving them unique perspectives on their surroundings. The player travels through 3 different places in a dream-like atmosphere and explores the concepts of scale and motion in VR.

Development:
3 weeks, experimental jam in the 4th semester of Game Design (B.A.) at HTW Berlin, May 2019

Developed for HTC Vive, also tested with Microsoft Mixed Reality. 
Play standing with a bit of room to move. Have a look at the Movement Controls in the screenshots as they're not available in-game.

This protoype was developed within 3 weeks by a small team of 4 Game Design students at HTW Berlin and is the result of an experimental jam, so it's more of an exploration of ideas than a polished game. A full loop is playable though and we hope you can see where this could be going! Feel free to leave feedback in the comments!

Other than not having controls in game worked great on my rift s! Really cool visual design and the sound was nice and peaceful

Thanks for the nice feedback! :) Glad to hear it actually works on a Rift too! No problems with seeing through the doors/portals? They're made with Vive Stereoscopic Rendering Toolkit and only recently started working  with a Microsoft XR.

PS: Will add in-game controls sheet as soon as I find the time

I didn't have any problems with them, I thought they looked pretty cool!

Glad to hear it, thanks for taking the time!
