About It Belongs in a Museum
Run, don’t walk like an Egyptian to your nearest Steam store and check out It Belongs in a Museum!
put on your virtual reality headset and join a secret organization that has been around for thousands of years, in a story that wouldn't sell out a block buster movie, but is JUST good enough for VR! Your task is simple: take your ample goddess companion into battle across five stages listening to her recall the story while destroying monsters with an array of weapons. Look for sparkly treasure strewn across large, small, and procedural dungeons to satisfy your need to buy much needed guns. Marvel at the lack of consistency in story telling as the plot unfolds leaving you with more questions than answers!
And when all of that is finished, you can extend your gameplay experience by repeating the stages in a similar fashion to a hamster in a wheel for the sole purpose of buying virtual versions of REAL artifacts from the skeleton dealer to fill up your museum… to scratch that “I need to collect something….” Itch!
So, act now! Copies are limited…. Wait… digital games aren’t limited, are they? OK screw it I’m too old for this.
Features:
- Multiple weapons: pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns, grenades, bow and sniper!
- Enough Unity store assets flipped you’ll think it’s a gymnastics tournament!
- Foul mouthed NPCs that keep it PG-13!
- A “story” written in the span of weeks when time allowed, loosely based on Akkadian/ Mesopotamian mythology with a large order of plot holes and logical fallacies!
- Smooth motion with no teleporting!
- snap and smooth turning!- Full body IK now with glitchy arms and hands!
- Inconsistent pacing and level design because sometimes I just thought: “Not realistic, but it looks cool!” (UPDATE: ALL NEW BETTER LOOKING FLASHY LEVELS! just as inconsistent but with traps!) - Various types of enemies from skeletons, zombies, and mummies… OH MY!
- Climbing on various surfaces such as walls, pyramids, and …..stairs!
(Achievements not yet included (probably never!). Side effects may include headache, fever, runny nose, nausea, lack of ambition, weight gain, indigestion, and priapism. Consult your doctor if you have two or more of these symptoms lasting longer than 4 hours.)🎵 Music Credits A big thank you to the Battle Tapes for allowing the use of their music. In all seriousness, Thank you for reading to the end. I enjoyed putting this game together and I hope that you enjoy playing it. - CoffeeSerpent

- Slow time just to make shooting look cool! now cool shooting in slow Mo does more damage! Be careful though, using the slow time power can cost you health!

It Belongs in a Museum is a free to play Rogue-lite, treasure hunting, artifact collection VR story game. It worked on my Index, HTC Vive and Meta Quest 3 via Steam Link system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Give this free game a try, you might like it.4 found this helpful
This one's a hard maybe in my book, as it stands. Pros: -Something different than just blasting random things -Decent variety of guns -Big booba goddess Cons: -Lack of accessibility menu or even sticky on turn (honestly, I don't care for snap turning) -Cannot buy ammo individually, and it has a tendency to get lost in the floor before disappearing -Combat can be rather overwhelming -No idea exactly how to summon big booba goddess (says you're supposed to activate her on the watch, but I never see the option) Played on Quest 2 using Steam Link VR.2 found this helpful
"It Belongs in a Museum" is a poorly made VR exclusive contentless (procgen) dungeon shooter game that flopped due to general lack of quality and polish... it was a clunky mess that gamers didn't enjoy. The idea is that you're Lara Croft doing tomb raiding to get stuff, which means fighting a goddess thing by shooting stuff... ugh. It's a crappy VR FPS. I'm not sure if this is an asset flip, but it's one of those cases where the assets just look much better than the rest of the quality of the game... a glaring inconsistency. There's no evidence, but as always, the biggest problem with asset flips besides the plagiarism is the deplorably low quality of the other aspects of the game, and even if the game assets are genuinely created for the game, the quality of the rest of the game is indistinguishable from that of asset flips. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, the…1 found this helpful
[h1]Cool Idea, But Needs Work[/h1] This game has a really awesome concept and honestly a solid base, but there are a few things that held me back from giving it a thumbs up. I really want to like it, so I’ll be keeping an eye on updates. Here's what stood out: [h2]Grabbing Items Feels Off[/h2] Grabbing weapons, ammo, and treasure just feels weird and inconsistent. Sometimes I have to try a few times to pick something up, and in the middle of combat, that’s super frustrating—especially when I accidentally grab the wrong thing just because I moved my head too far. Some ideas that might help: Maybe use a system like Boneworks/BoneLab where you always pull ammo from the same spot (like your left hip). Move weapons to the shoulders and have a dedicated bag spot (maybe a button press or something fixed), so it’s not just a loose object that floats around. A Half-Life: Alyx-style distance grab would be amazing too—especially for people playing while seated. [h2]The Goddess Doesn’t Really Do Much[/h2] One of the main reasons I tried this game was because of the idea of having a goddess companion—it sounded awesome. But in practice, she barely follows me. She gets stuck behind doors …1 found this helpful
