I cannot for the life of me remember the name, but it was a climbing game on VR. It wasn’t really all that interesting until I looked down. My brain couldn’t comprehend that it wasn’t something I was actually doing, but rather just a game. I’m super afraid of heights, so my toes went numb and heart started pounding seeing my ‘feet’ precariously perched a few inches from the edge of a cliff. I will never again say “It’s just a game” knowing how easy it is to trick your brain with a game with total immersion.
