Set along the river in the magical 'Forest of Dreams', Sandman artfully combines canoe based survival gameplay with an emotional, character-driven story adapted from the classic 'Mr Sandman' tale by Hans Christian Anderson. Brought to life by the immersive and groundbreaking Oculus Rift and enriched by an advanced procedural level generation system that means you'll never experience the same river twice, Sandman is a first in a new generation of games designed specifically for this emerging virtual reality technology.

Description

Ruratae is a musical instrument-crafting game that uses a custom physics-based audio engine to generate the sounds of vibrating objects. This engine is a result of Drew's PhD dissertation research (in computer music). It's important to emphasize that the sounds you hear are created directly from the physics of the system; there are no pre-recorded samples; no synthesizer "tricks", you are directly listening to the vibrations of whatever instrument you can dream up.

You weren't even *that* tyrannical). But watch that you don't get too angry or your head is in danger of exploding! Smash things in order to calm yourself down and watch out for those infuriatingly violent guards!
