Description

Play as a giant gorilla in VR and face off against your puny human friends in the ultimate couch party game.

In Late For Work, one player is a giant gorilla doing gorilla things. Up to 4 other players try to take down the gorilla in an epic local multiplayer VR party game.

Work together to bring down the monster of immeasurable strength. Or run for your dear life. It’s an intense party game for your living room. The game brings VR and non-VR players together into a shared experience. Swap out in-between rounds and see who can earn ultimate banana bragging rights in this crazy free for all.

History

We started working on Late For Work while wrapping up the development of the PC version of Ellipsis in Late 2016. A playable alpha is now also available on Steam’s Early Access. We believe Early Access is one of the best ways to explore new concepts in VR. We really enjoy getting player’s feedback and iterating in public.

Features

  • Fast-paced intense rounds. Take turns under the headset. Plot your next takedown.
  • Intuitive locomotion system (dragging yourself around like a gorilla)
  • Fun, over-the-top physics where every object is a potential weapon and shield.
  • Experience being a giant monster trying to eat your friends.
  • Local multiplayer party game: a great way to include all your friends in a VR experience.
