We all know that having guns is allowed in the United States. Now, there is a funny game bout guns: The American Dream. In this game, you can do almost everything with guns, even for the simple tasks!
The American Dream: Performing simple tasks with guns!
Yes, this is not a joke! The game The American Dream is a very simple game, doing your daily life tasks from a first-person point of view. However, the special aspect is that, you do everything you would normally do with guns! To be more specific, you eat donuts with guns, do quality control works with guns, even going to the prom with guns. Those were some example of the menial tasks you do everyday, but you do them with guns in this game. This looks like a joke, but actually it is implemented quite cleverly within the context of the game.
The studio behind this game is Samurai Punk, which is based in Melbourne, Australia. This game is not actually about forming opinions on the gun laws of the USA. In fact, the goal is much more meta: in first-person shooter games, we can rarely do anything with guns besides shooting. Sometimes, we can only open doors or flick switches is by shooting them. This game takes that concept and implement it in a funny manner, yet also quite clever. In this game, we use guns as normally as we use other everyday tools for daily tasks.
The game is an amusing and interesting concept. What’s more, this game is available for VR. Of course, people may question whether The American Dream will work as a game, and on this platform. Answering this, Samurai Punk artist Nicholas McDonnell have shared that this is the bite-size game, and for now this type of game works best for the VR platform, due to its nature and some design restrictions for the VR. On other platform, this game would get boring quickly, and will not be as interesting as other games that require time investment. We sure hope that is true, because this game is really fun when playing in VR!
The American Dream: A nice game for VR
Overall, The American Dream is a nice game with a funny concept. It portrays in a clever and humorous way about ways to use guns non-violently. This game definitely deserves a chance from VR players!The game is slated for launch in 2017.
