VR titles may not be in the place where certain developers and publishers want them to be. However, titles are still being made, and that’s something to be happy about…when they’re quality, of course. One title you should be on the lookout for next month is Bad Inmate by HyperVR Games. Yes, you’re about to be put into jail, and you’ll need to do what you can to survive and potentially get out! Remember, this is VR, so you’ll truly have to “do the work” to make things happen. Check out the trailer for the title below, along with its description:

“Bad Inmate puts players behind bars in a prison sandbox where the goal is simple: Escape. Guided by an inmate ally whose intelligence is matched only by his unpredictability, players will need to sneak past guards, steal keys, crawl through passages left unsealed (for reasons…), and turn ordinary objects into escape tools. With no single correct path to freedom, use your resources creatively to see just how messy your plans get before escape becomes a reality.

Each day, players have the choice to keep working on their escape plan, or get pulled into everything else prison life has to offer. Trade favors with your other inmates, test your luck (or your knuckles) in the sports yard, and even bankroll someone’s moonshine racket; it’s all fair game. Objects can be picked up, thrown, hidden, and used throughout the environment, turning each escape attempt into a clever operation, an elaborate prank, or a prison-wide disaster.

In a yard full of inmates, each with their own agendas and alliances, it’s up to you to choose who you trust and who’s worth
avoiding entirely. Should you find yourself in a fight, use the physics driven full-contact system to turn ordinary objects into
hilarious weapons. If you can’t find something to defend yourself with, make something using the crafting system. Repurposingobjects into new tools might just be the unexpected solution to your problems.”

As you can see, this is far more elaborate a VR title than you might have been expecting! These features add to its layers:

• Turn everyday objects into weapons and fight with a full ragdoll physics combat system.
• Befriend, betray, or brawl with your fellow inmates, each with an agenda of their own.
• Craft your way to freedom by combining objects into new tools with unexpected solutions.
• Every escape plan is a gamble, so dig with a spoon, steal a key, or ally with the toughest inmate in the block.
• Hit the yard to enjoy basketball, pull-ups, and weightlifting built for immersive VR interaction.

If you’re interested, the game drops first on Meta Quest and PlayStation VR 2. Later on, it’ll also arrive on SteamVR.
