A downloadable game for Windows

EREBUS - The Shadow's Guillotine is a asymetrical game where non-vr players have to find and press all the buttons around the map to kill Erebus, the VR player and the shadow's guillotine.

The VR player is to protect his dungon and his life, by finding the fake shadows around him, i.e the non-vr players, the VR player's goal is to execute the non-vr players running around before they get to the buttons by putting them into the Eyepot (the teapot) this acts as a sort of bin for the VR player to put the shadows and fakes into for him to win.

HOW TO PLAY-

First grab some friends, this is an online game, one of you must have a VR headset and the others can play on PC without one, now you can all join game straight off the bat but i recommend that you let the VR player join the game first, this is because of a server limitation with the AI which causes them to lag around, but if the VR player starts the session on his end he will so no difference with the AI and the Non-VR players.
Once you are all in, go find some buttons and the VR player go try find them.


(single player is in the works tho for VR and NON VR experinces)

CONTROLS:

NON-VR: you move around using WASD, and you can hold shift to mimic and walk just like the AI around you, this allows you to hide in the crowds around you and follow ai paths so you will not be seen so easily, and if your feeling risking let go of shift and run and jump.

VR- Your controls are simple, the grab buttons on your touch controllers are your main use, you hold it  to pick them up someone and let go to drop them.

Note: on the main menu press A button while pointing at the UI however.

TIPS AND NOTES:
This is an early game and thus there is bugs that need fixing, here is a list to watch out for:

MAJOR THING: First thing i will suggest is let everyone in your group get into the room with the VR player being first then start your match and let loose and run around, this allows the server to catch up and not dysync on startup.

Sometimes when winning a game on either side the game will not go to win screen so just make sure your friend tells you who won.

Second on the win screen there is a reset button, oddly this sometimes doesn't work so just alt F4.

If you try to join a game mid match and some buttons have been pressed if you somehow get in then your button count will be dysynced this requires all players on the network to force restart there games (this is hit or miss as if you join after a button has been pressed the game will just push you out and say you won as a current protection medium).

There is no server limit on how many vr players there can be in one lobby same for non VR players as they are reconised as the same, max lobby count is 6 players however so if you want to have more then one VR player in a room you can! but i suggest only one for networking purposes.

Some ledges are still buggy and need work so if you get stuck sorry in advance!
