Boneworks
Boneworks is an Experimental Physics VR Adventure. Use found physics weapons, tools, and objects to fight across dangerous playscapes and mysterious architecture.
What it feels like
The mysterious architecture and hidden lore create an enigmatic, exploratory mood. The kinetic, physics-driven combat and embodied VR movement create moments of thrilling action.
What it's about
Mysterious architecture and abstract technology setting suggests speculative sci-fi atmosphere. Navigating dangerous playscapes against threats creates a survival-oriented challenge structure.
How it plays
Physics simulation is the defining foundation—players interact with the world entirely through manipulating physical objects, weapons, and tools rather than scripted mechanics. Firing found weapons and using ranged tools is a core combat interaction, though constrained by physics rather than traditional shooting mechanics. Close-quarters combat with improvised physics-based weapons and physical objects is central to moment-to-moment play.
How it looks and sounds
First-person perspective through VR is the definitive viewpoint, creating direct embodied presence in the space. High-fidelity VR rendering aimed at realistic, grounded visual presentation of objects and spaces. Industrial, worn environments and detailed realistic physics simulation create a worn, tangible quality.
How it's structured
Designed as a solo VR experience with no multiplayer component. An authored adventure narrative arc progresses the player through dangerous playscapes and mysteries toward a conclusion. Levels and encounters appear deliberately authored by designers rather than procedurally generated.
