Throne of the Dead

game doesn't work. When it starts the very bottom of the beginning screen shows up double at the very highest view in the headset.

I love to read while I'm in the toilet. I also like to do the interwebs while in the crapper. So it's just a natural progression that I dreamt about being able to Waveshooter (or WvSh as the hipster kids call it these days) while taking a dump. Throne of the Dead brings this dream into reality. I cannot wait until we get some mixed reality or augmented reality takes on this new concept of gaming. In TotD, we get 6 different VR environments where we can take a dump and shoot zombies (or Frosty the snowman) for 15 waves. Want to take a dump at home? Check.

Players remain stationary while enemies advance from various directions, and the objective is simply to shoot them before they overwhelm you. Across several themed arenas, each styled around exaggerated bathroom-related scenarios, waves of increasingly aggressive foes push the player to react quickly and manage incoming threats. There is no movement beyond aiming and shooting, which gives the game a distinctly arcade feel reminiscent of old-school wave shooters. This simplicity makes the game immediately accessible, requiring no learning curve or mechan…
