VR game production is running at full speed. New games are released on the various systems almost daily. What many people don't realise is that Switzerland is one of the most ambitious countries when it comes to game development. Here we present 3 VR titles that were programmed in Switzerland.

Watcher
Watcher is a virtual reality game in which the player takes on the role of a mother animal. They are in the centre of the action - albeit in a static position - and can let their gaze wander 180 degrees.
The mother animal communicates with her young by nodding or shaking her head. The motivating component of the game design is primarily to appeal to the player's sense of care and responsibility and thus to warn young animals about poisonous food.
System: Oculus Rift
Developer: Julie Baechtold, Filipe Simonette
