Your Hands Are Ghosts (VR)

On Halloween, the veil between the world of the living and the realm of the dead grows thin. As a bone mason with ghosts for hands, use this opportunity to build the bone art of your dreams in this physics-based VR building game.

Made for the AR/VR Creators' Fall Challenge: Halloween jam in about 5 days.

VR Required! Available for Oculus Quest and desktop VR (SteamVR, Oculus desktop, and Windows Mixed Reality).

Connect the bones to floating pentagrams to summon the living into the realm of the dead. Harvest their bones, and release their souls.

Controls

ActionControlMoveHold the side grip and drag the worldGrabHover over a white bone and hold the front trigger. Release the trigger to drop it. If a joint of the white bone is close enough to an occupied joint of a red bone, then it will automatically attach.HarvestHover over one of the living and squeeze the trigger.

Tips

1. The joints are somewhat flexible, but if there is too much strain on the bones, they will collapse or even disintegrate.
2. You can connect a single bone to multiple joints at the same time by making sure its joints are close to multiple joints on your tower. A right triangle is very sturdy.
3. When trying to reach a pentagram, one quick way is to start from right below it and build straight up. To connect the tower to the pentagram, you need to attach a new loose white bone that touches a joint on the tower AND a joint on the pentagram at the same time. See Youtube video, starting at 2:38.
4. You can grab a loose bone and use it as a tool to nudge things. You can also hit the living with it. Don't feel bad, the living are self-entitled flesh bags.
5. When you open up a pentagram portal, a new pentagram will appear above it.
