Happy Place VR

A proof-of-concept for a VR “cozy” game, where relaxation is prioritized over reaction speed and competitive play. Players leisurely explore a sandbox environment and complete simple and satisfying interactions like catching bugs and stacking cups. The concept for Happy Place VR came about knowing there’s a mental health epidemic among young adults, many of which don’t have access to mental health services so turn to cozy games as an alternative. This project involved a lot of playtesting to make sure interactions felt just right and players came away feeling better afterwards.
