My guy, you've earned THREE Summer vacation breaks, you take as many months off as you want! This project is legitimately one of THE coolest uses of VR in use to a series it uses like TADC. I think my suggestions are great, even if some of them are a LITTLE bold, but the growth you've gotten from all of this has been SUPER earned!
Take a good break, and good luck with future updates! I'm sure I'll have another comment for you someday

Hey there, me again! I hope this doesn't come across as annoying, but I genuinely love liveable VR experience games like this, and over the last 2 days, I came up with QUITE a few Ideas that I should would be REALLY great for a 3rd Update, since you're doing the 2nd one as of the time I write this! I'm not a programmer, so take these with a grain of salt, but I think these sound REALLY strong for some Quality of Life features for the game, since walking around is the only major mechanic right now!
(I hope everyone reading this UPVOTES this if you like these suggestions!)
So I hope these don't sound too bothersome, but here are my Ideas, I put a lot of thought into them!
1: Having Caine float around the Map would be different for the Cast! Since he isn't like them traditionally, maybe he could swap between walkin and floating modes, where he occasionally does unique moves, like doing a loop or something!
2: Putting invisible Hit Boxes behind each characters backs, so that when BOTH player hands enter the zone, the character in question makes a Hugging pose, allowing you to hug your favourite character!
3: Definitely more Areas! Caine's office through an invisble wall at the end of the Bedroom Hallway, OR maybe a Teleporting Red Exit door that swaps between a few different locations every 2 or 3 minutes? It could take the Player to the C&A offices that Pomni went to!
4: Giving the Cast extra poses! Sitting down at certain locations would be really neat, like in the Cafe Stools, their Bedrooms, or on the Couches in the Main lobby (the coloured sofas!)
5: In connection with number 4, being able to pull up a menu when pressing on a character, so you can make them sit down somewhere specific, or stand still so you can bring them together, or make them all sit in the Lobby with you!
6: The Ability to pick up certain Objects like Vases, and Buckets, etc! and in tandem with that:
7 :god please let us put a bucket on Kingers head, it would be so funny please god wh--
8: I saw a few people ask for an AI voice system, but I think that would turn off an overwhelming amount of players! People wouldn't want Generative AI trying to bring these characters to life, because the Writing of the show can't be replicated. So maybe a Voice Clip system, where inside a Characters line of sight, they'll say Hello using clips from the show! And maybe if you stand near them long enough, they'll ask questions that they've asked to other charcters during the show, or say lines you could reasonably reply to them with. (Truly, I just think GenAI would turn WAY over half of your audience off)
9: More Hand Animation in VR! I noticed that both Triggers close all the fingers, so maybe the bottom trigger closes the bottom 2 fingers so that you can make a finger gun pose? All we have now are just open Palms and Fists!
10: Similar to 9, it would be GREAT to give the Player Arms! If you could make the arms a basic white, with no texture, and then add a customise option for Players to change the texture (fabric, metal shine, etc), and colour (red, orange, blue, and so on!) of their Arms! That definitely makes the player feel more complete as an entity in the circus! You can even keep Kingers hand model for the player, since it feels just cartoony enough!
11: CLOSE to 10, every character has a Bedroom, but it would be AMAZING if the PLAYER could have one too! If there was an option to change wallpapers and colours, bed shapes and style, desks, and chaires inside, that would add SO much playtime while people create their own identity in the Circus!
And finally, 12: IF you are capable of realizing most of these goals, PLEASE add an option to Save the Game, so people can save their arm and bedroom styles/colours!
That's all I have! I thought about this REALLY hard for the last two days, and I REALLY thin meeting these goals would make people SUPER invested in spending more time in this game! Again, super sorry if this was too long, but I hope you'll take ALL of these into deep consideration! Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Nooofhgdijf, not the Riddler meme..... do I know what???
I explored around, but I wasn't able to access any rooms or other maps apart from the bedroom hallway! I know you said you had plans to add a potential adventure and other stuff if it got support, so maybe that?
I hopped on the game again this morning to get some videos for my friends in case they wanna try it out as well, and might even make a youtube video about it, (or at least use the game as background footage, if you're okay with that?)
Still super excited to see what you make of this if it gets the support you were hoping for!
SUPER fun experience! I've always wanted to actually see what it would be like if you were able to go there in VR and this honestly worked WONDERS!
There are a few things I'd personally love to see in future updates though! (I know you said you were waiting on schooling stuff, so definitely take your time!)
But I'd love to be able to see some of the characters rooms that we got glimpses of, like Jax's room, or Zooble's! There's also some of the Worlds that Caine made, like the Bat Field, the Fast Food place, Mildenhall Manor, or any of those! Although to be honest, finding anyone who's made recreations of them sounds pretty much impossible-.
All in all, I think this looks amazing if you're just a fan of walking around the enviroment of the Show, and maybe all you WANT to add to the game is just some extra polishing, or sound work, or idk. As long as you had fun making an amazing project like this, that's ultimately what makes people like it as well!
I'll be totally real, I STILL have the game installed, and have played it a few more times off camera! I think that's why I've been so in-thought about what other cameras and anomalies could be added potentially in the far future!
I'll still be playing it when I have a free moment, and I hope I can find all the other anomalies!
Happy Halloween! Came back because I had to share that the Halloween Video I made is up! I'm sure you've seen a dozen people play your game already, so I'll just say that my actual review section starts at exactly 39:18 if that's all you wanna check out!
All in all, this really was my 2025 Game of the Year, and I hope the review reflects that!
Sorry, just had another really good question aside from looking for the soundtrack! This game was super good, do you ever plan on adding more to the game? Potentially Cameras for the Basement Hallways and the Hazy Maze Room? I would LOVE that as a harder difficulty option! Sorry if two comments was a bit much!
At the moment, no, not yet. BUT a decent chunk of NSFW games have been flooding back into the site! The adult tag just regained 5000+ Games, so that is a VERY big sign that Itch is doing what they can to restore order while navigating the threats from Payment companies.
As it currently stands, there MAY new new payment processors coming up to take Visa and Mastercards place, OR, they're folding and allowing Itch to restore their catalog of Games because of all the pressure we've been putting Visa/Mastercard over. So while I can't say what kind of payment options may be coming, it's a VERY good sign that we're seeing thousands of games come back, and a strong reminder that Itch is fighting FOR us, and not against us!
Everyone, PLEASE keep in mind that Itch is CURRENTLY looking for other options and Payment Processors who are more comfortable with Adult Content! They are not and HAVE not abandoned their creators! Like Steam, Itch was bullied and thrust into a position where higher powers forced these policies ON them under threat of total shutdown via Payment pullout. Itch IS looking for other avenues to support it's creators! In the meantime, keep calling your Gov Representatives and DO not let up! We CAN'T let people decide what we the people can and cannot purchase or enjoy!
