Huge thank you to Fast Travel Games for sponsoring me to share this amazing new game with you! As a huge fan of their work, it's been so hard to keep this a secret…
This has to be the most refreshingly unique multiplayer VR game I’ve played since…well probably since Broken Edge. And it’s no surprise why since this is the next big game coming from coming from the very same publisher. You might also recognize them from other VR games such as: Project Demigod, Vampire The Masquerade Justice, Ghost Signal, Apex Construct, and several more. But trust me when I say this game feels like a gigantic leap forward for their relatively small studio.
You see, the main gamemode in Mannequin is kinda like a combination of prop hunt, freeze tag, and that Assassin’s Creed multiplayer mode that barely anyone remembers. (Seriously, that was such a cool concept, can we bring that back?) And if even by the end of this video you’re still not sure what this game is like, well the good news is you can try it for yourself for free right now!
The reason I’m so excited by this sponsorship is that, unlike most sponsored content you probably see, this video isn’t trying to sell you anything. This open alpha is both a great way for the developers to get feedback and improve the game, as well as a way for all of you to try the game FOR FREE before its full launch, which I’m assuming won’t be free. Again, the open alpha is available on SideQuest for Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro. But the full release will also be on Steam!
I’m genuinely impressed that this game works as well as it does. It’s an incredibly novel concept that’s been very well executed, which is super rare to see in the VR scene. So many VR games simply try to emulate successful flatscreen games, or if they DO try something ambitious, they usually don’t have the resources to make it really work. But Mannequin succeeds at everything it tries to do. It’s a visually impressive, incredibly immersive, and most importantly, straight up fun VR game that I highly recommend you try.
