Have you ever wanted to experience what it’s like to swim with dolphins? Well, now you can. Kind of.
Classroom Aquatic places you in the middle of a school for dolphins, where you must pass a series of tests – but you don’t know the answers because you’re not a dolphin, so you have to cheat off of your classmates without Professor Porpoise noticing. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare (or just mine).
It’s not your typical RPG. “Classroom Aquatic has been designed to be a true VR game: rather than a port of a single screen game or a translation of an existing genre, its mechanics, goals, and gameplay have all been tailored to be played on VR head-mounted displays,” writes Sunken Places designer Remy Karns. “We think Playstation VR will be the ideal platform for us, as it’s a VR device specifically made for games.”
There are people out there using virtual reality games for military training and a slew of other real-world applications but I think this game is VR’s true calling.
