Oddfice, or "Odd Office" is a single player VR physics sandbox game. You play as an employee working a 9-5 job for a company that develops a gravity gun. You just received the first prototype and must test it on your colognes around the office. But be careful your boss doesn't get to annoyed.

​

As the player your goal is to pickup and throw objects around the office to gain as many points possible within a time limit. More points can be gained depending on the force, accuracy and by locating different types of objects.

Oddfice is a student VR project developed at AIE

by 3 students with assistance from 3 art students.
