I don't think this game was well tailored to VR the static camera and the creatures moves and party being in a static position behind my creature means I don't get to see the the creatures use their moves, even Pokemon has things at an angle visually. I enjoyed the WoW-style conversations with the npcs but found the gameplay a little underwhelming since I only get see the rear end of my creatures :(

You can move around the arena and command Familiars from pretty far away.

Multiplayer game hum? Not sure it is the best choice for a game jam as testers will be mostly alone playing.

And actually… it is not playable at all (<10FPS on a correct PC!), and doesn’t work in VR (should it be?) Waiting for instructions to try again…

It isn't multiplayer. Sorry to hear about the FPS issues. I didn't do much on the optimization side. The battle system mechanics took most of my time :(
