Store Description: Mannequin is an up to 2v3 Hide-And-Seek VR FPS multiplayer game.

Two elite Agents hunt for Mannequins - shape-shifting aliens hiding in plain sight and blending in by posing as human statues.

They ambush unsuspecting Agents, freezing them in place with a single touch. Agents use cutting edge tech to scan for Mannequins, then shooting to kill.

They must decipher friend from foe. Hit a human and their gun jams, leaving them vulnerable. Last team standing wins in this frantic game of cat and mouse.

THE WORLD STANDS STILL

Crisis engulfs the globe. Select sites have frozen in time, turning people into motionless statues. An alien presence is behind these anomalies. Special Agents are dispatched to eradicate this threat before they become the next victims.

STRIKE A POSE

Hunted by mankind, Mannequins use supernatural abilities to get the drop on Agents. Use your headset and controllers to pose and blend in among first responders. Strike when Agents least suspect, dashing forward and freezing them with a touch of a hand.

EXTERMINATE THE ALIEN THREAT

Agents are on the hunt. Their EMF Readers point them towards Mannequins, but telling friend from foe is down to instinct. Not only is ammunition limited, but shooting a human jams your gun, giving Mannequins an opportunity to strike.

WORK TOGETHER, DIE ALONE

Teamwork is essential. Strategize to seize energy extractors as aliens, letting you see an Agent’s location. If you’re not fast enough, Agents gain the upper hand.

Store Description: 

Grok: To understand something intuitively or by empathy. 

Grokit is a hand tracking multiplayer mixed reality game aimed at rapid fire interactions.  Inspired by the party games of old, players are dropped into bizarre situations where they must evaluate their environment and act in a short amount of time. 

Play in your own room with mixed reality passthrough or in traditional virtual reality in a variety of handcrafted environments. 

Grokit is built from the ground up to leverage more of what the new hardware can do. See what’s possible with scene understanding, with game objects interacting with your and your friends’ rooms and furniture. Fast and smooth hand tracking means no more dealing with controllers.

Play your way, with multiple character customization options available for avatars, hats, and watches, as well as a selection of environments and music. 

Grokit is also an excellent way to introduce your friends to VR and MR because it’s easy to pick up, or grok, and the engaging challenges can be enjoyed in short play sessions. Perfect for family gatherings and fun for all ages!

This is just the beginning of our Grokit journey. Future updates will include additional micro-levels, longer content mini-levels, more customization options, holiday and other special events, mobile asymmetrical play, and more, oh my!

Grokit is a work in progress, with much more content coming, buy now to help support development!

Flock of the Low God Store Description:  **FOTLG is in Early Access/Beta and may contain bugs**

A festering evil has taken root at the Lanford Police Department…

It’s been one year since your father died in the line of duty, a sudden and unexplainable death following his arrest of the notoriously vicious cult “The Flock of the Low God”. In his final days, it seemed an evil had consumed him and driven him mad, a mysterious affliction that has haunted you ever since and driven you to adopt the badge yourself.

In this thrilling survival horror experience based on the feature film MALUM, step into the shoes of Officer Loren, a rookie cop on her first shift that threatens to become her last. Explore the decommissioned police station, uncover the evidence, and piece together the disturbing history behind your father's death, the notorious cult and its dangerously enigmatic leader: John Malum.

But be careful… because John Malum never forgets, and he and his demented followers have their sights set on you.
Can you stop the Flock before they overrun the police station? Or will you become the final piece in their bloody and twisted ritual?

Richie's Plank Experience Store Link: https://www.meta.com/experiences/1642239225880682/

Richie's Plank Experience was designed to invoke the strongest possible emotions in the shortest possible time. Test your fear of heights or entertain your friends and family as they walk the plank 80 stories high and experience terrifying real fear, knees weak and palms sweaty!

The plank setup has been vastly improved through the use of immersive Mixed Reality on Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro devices. Adjust the position, rotation and dimensions of your in game plank to match your real world plank or create a virtual plank right in your living room!

Once you have mastered the art of walking the plank, crank it up a notch and see if you can make it through Nightmare mode. Our Halloween themed experience is a great way to scare you and your guests during the spooky season.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to fly? With our Hero Academy, you can fly through the city like a superhero, take out rockets or fight fires.

We even have a Christmas themed VR experience the whole family can enjoy. Our Santa Simulator is great for kids and family gatherings during Christmas time.

Warning: This game invokes a near-instant emotional reaction. Due to the nature of virtual reality, this experience can affect your balance, cause dizziness and affect your decision making ability. Follow the in-game Safety Guidelines to reduce the risk of serious injury or harm.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice Store Link: https://www.meta.com/experiences/6179032068838054/

Become a vampire. Strike from the darkness and drink the blood of your prey. Use stealth, persuasion, and an arsenal of upgradable abilities to sneak past enemies undetected or punish the guilty in the seedy backstreets of nighttime Venice.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice is an open-ended, narrative Adventure RPG set in the World of Darkness universe. You have the power to strike fear into the hearts of a criminal underworld as an untraceable shadow, picking off targets one-by-one.

STEALTH IS YOUR WEAPON
Shadows are your ally. Take to the rooftops and seek new paths away from enemy eyes. Use Shadow Traps to snatch up unsuspecting prey and drag them into Oblivion. Activate Cloak of Shadows and slip unseen through enemy defenses. In Vampire: The Masquerade - Justice, stealth is your weapon.

BECOME A POWERFUL VAMPIRE
Punish the guilty with brutal abilities. Launch yourself towards opponents with immense force or boil their insides with Cauldron of Blood. Approach from behind and sink in your fangs to stock up on blood. Load your crossbow with special bolts to kill, distract or knock out guards from afar. Dish out Justice with a vengeance.

LEVEL UP AND EXPLORE
The dark skies of Venice provide ample opportunity to level up powers and build a character suited to your playstyle. Tackle side-missions away from the campaign to earn more experience. Convince NPCs to aid your quest, solve puzzles, uncover collectibles and test yourself with optional tasks in each mission.

In Genotype, you explore an Antarctic research base overrun by monstrous beasts, wielding high-tech gloves that print living organisms you can use as weapons and survival tools.

- Print creatures and use them as weapons to fight off aggressive beasts.
- Transform into other beings to move through vents, and use them as tools to clear environmental obstructions.
- Upgrade your creatures' DNA to enhance their capabilities, and customize your GRAID gloves to increase your survival chances.
- Enjoy high-fidelity graphics that take full advantage of the Meta Quest platforms' graphical potential.
- Immerse yourself in an emotional narrative with fully voice-acted characters.
- Dive into a world with truly alien sound design and atmospheric synth-scapes.

You play as Evely, an intern at an Antarctic weather station. During a routine expedition, Evely falls through the ice into the mysterious Snowdrop Initiative laboratories. Luckily, the facility's last human survivor, William, can guide her to save herself — and the entire planet.

To survive, you must use the GRAID gloves to print creatures. As you explore the facility, you will find ways to print new creatures, and to modify and upgrade the ones you have access to.

You will have to adapt, and use the creatures to battle hostile monsters, reach otherwise inaccessible places, and clear the way to venture deeper into the Snowdrop facility.

You hold the fate of the world in your hands. Don’t shake... and never mind the penguins.

Player Classes Choose fighter, thief, or mage to drastically change which abilities you learn as you level up your character.

Fighter: A class with a focus on physical attacks
Mage: A class with a focus on Hax, the game's special abilities.
Thief: A class with wildcard abilities that can change the tide of battle.

Bounce Shot Store Link: https://www.meta.com/experiences/5315620021784200

Store Description: Bounce Shot is the family-friendly version of the popular college game!

Players take turns attempting to throw ping pong balls into their opponent’s cups, making them disappear. The first player or team to remove all their opponent’s cups wins.

But there’s a twist…

Bounce shots can remove two cups in one go, but also allow the defending player the chance to swat the ball away.

From the same folks who brought you the critically-acclaimed, Eleven Table Tennis, this game is simple to learn but deceptively challenging to master. Use the motion controllers  to adjust the speed and angle of your throw to outthink and bluff your opponent.

And trust us on this one… that delicious chime in your brain when you sink a perfect arcing shot into an opponent’s cup NEVER gets old.

Bounce Shot is a game suitable for all ages and skill levels, even those who are brand-new to VR. Want your grandparents (or your grandchildren) to have their first crack at virtual reality? This is the perfect game to introduce them to the experience.

Bounce Shot features include:

- 3 stunning play environments w/original music
- Practice mode for perfecting your play
- AI opponents of 5 different skill levels
- Private rooms for you and up to 7 friends
- 1v1, 2v2 or 1v2 multiplayer matches
- More game modes to come soon…
