Sushi Ben VR

Sushi Ben VR is a slice of life anime sim where your favorite sushi bar is about to go out of business and it's up to you to save it! Loosely based on the life of the creator’s friend, who he used to work with at a sushi bar. The player’s goal is to convince NPCs to eat with them at the sushi bar, with the hopes that they will become regular customers. But it won't be easy!

HOW TO ACCESS THE GAME

You will need a VR ready PC and an Oculus Rift/Rift S/Quest + Link headset to access a free preview of the game on Viveport.

ABOUT THE CREATOR

Kane worked at a sushi bar during his undergrad for animation where he met the characters that inspired him to make Sushi Ben VR. After graduating from the Savannah College of Art & Design with a degree in 2D animation Kane then went back to SCAD for his MFA in Animation. During his MFA he had an idea for solving one of the many issues of VR narrative design which led to him learning everything about game development in order to prove his concept. After graduation he started working on Sushi Ben VR full time.
