Relaxed Mixed Reality experience
Living Room is a so-called cozy game that eschews violence and stressful situations. Instead, it focuses on the creative design of ecosystems. Players can create landscapes on physical surfaces such as desks or floating islands in space and populate them with flora and fauna.
The mixed reality implementation allows ecosystems to be freely placed in the room and important tools to be attached to the walls. In addition to the normal mode, the game also offers a challenge mode with puzzles and a creative mode.
The game is specifically designed for Meta Quest 3 and 3S and does not support older Quest models. With its simple graphics and playful approach, Living Room appeals to a younger audience and offers a child-friendly introduction to mixed reality.
