VR Duck Hunt

By

featuredJoseph Delgado created this adorable VR adaptation of Duck Hunt in just 24 hours for the 2016 Global Game Jam.

Duck Hunt Life VR delves into the backstory of Duck Hunter, where the duck hunter is actually collecting ducks for his cult-like ritual. Hunt some ducks, practice skeet shooting with the lads, and destroy your house. Try to collect enough ducks by Day 10 in order to complete your ritual, but don’t fail to collect the required number of ducks on a given day, or you’ll never do the ritual. Requires a Razer Hydra and Oculus Rift DK2.
