🎊 Party Versus - a first-of-its-kind MR party game where you bring the party home - is finally OUT, courtesy of the teams at Schell Games and Meta's Oculus Publishing! I've spent the last 2 years producing this game, and I wouldn't have traded that time for anything. It was a blessing to work with such a solid crew of creators to make something so innovative, joyful, and chaotic. You can buy the game on Quest 3 / 3S (or play it FREE with a Meta Quest+ subscription) here: https://lnkd.in/exHfcMfh
