A downloadable simulator for Android

Your choices matter!

This is a VR simulation to teach young adults and teens the potential consequences of alcohol (alongside a couple marijuana interactions). Throughout the simulation, you will make choices that affect the outcomes at the end of the game.

Fun & Informational!

Multiple studies have shown that making an information experience fun improves both attitude towards the information and the results. Throughout the different areas of the sim, you'll find a variety of minigames!

Accessibility Features:

  • Interactive guided tutorial
  • Customizable tunneling vignette
  • Smooth turning & snap turning
  • Toggle grabbing
  • Ranged interactors
  • Crouching input
