Accounting Simulator : The Weirdest yet Most Hilarious Nightmare I'd Ever Had

What was happening?

It was late night for a certain virtual reality club in downtown Bryan, where withing was a couple of other college kids like me excited to test out the HTC Vive when it first came out. The beginning years of virtual reality was a grand endeavor and such I was excited to test out one of the first games made for VR. Only, well, I wasn't exactly prepared for the kind of content ready to pioneer the endless years of fruitful history for the emerging tech. No one warned me, I admit.

Finding myself in the accounting office, here I was stationed at a cubicle with a phone on speaker telling me that I was a new worker but I didn't bothered to listen since I was tossing miscellaneous office supplies all over the room. For the Vive to provide haptic feedback when I held the object in my hands, as well as how far my stapler could fly across the room to knock over a office plant in the corner, soon I started pulling all sorts of items from the drawers until I found the wondrous replica of another virtual reality headset. Is this getting a little meta?

Perhaps. Perhaps especially when I placed on the headset to rebel against the frantic orders from the speaker on the office phone, where I was soon transported into a random forest. I began to wonder of what tasks I would be assigned when I was teleported here, but suddenly I whip my head to a measly white blob popping out of a tree trunk cursing at me the player, strongly. I hear laughter on the other side of the headset, for several people were huddled around me in real life laughing at my dire circumstances. Little did I realized it was soon going to be worse. Perhaps, I should have realized my mistake earlier, with that Accounting Simulator was developed with the creators of 'Rick and Morty'.

I realized that that the mechanics of the game were to interact with the objects in the virtual space in order to progress in the story, finding a wooden VR headset and placing it on to teleport into a dank dungeon. Suddenly, the same office employee's voice was heard from a random telephone line in the dungeon. Picking up the phone, I was able to follow the instructions and thankfully light up a torch. Until I was spooked the daylights out of me(for the first time in my VR experiences). A greater white blob with curiously long Muppet legs stretched out, where I was certain he was naked and called himself the king. Shuddering in the dark, the king stared at me where I exchanged the same. Then I noticed a strange scissor design like the icon printed on those kindergarten cut-outs placed on the king's chest. The office employee told me to look for the next headset hidden in the room. Then I heard a soft chatter behind me in real life, where my friend informed me of why I seemed confused. Then I caught the sight of a knife.

"Just stab him." A snicker was carried throughout the room in real life.

I stared at the dreadful task of killing a hideous creature of a king who I felt weirdly unfortunate for, possibly since I took pity on him but paused in shock at the greater realization of the deed I had to commit.

So, virtual murder --- right?

I stabbed him to my horror.

A roar of hollering cried throughout the room but yet again I was horrified I had to keep on stabbing him, and place my hand through his bloody guts to pull out the VR headset the idiotic king swallowed. Shortly after that, I was transported to a variety of virtual environment, which included being inside of someone's guts where a skeleton rave was taking place with acid, a court trial where bean-sized lawyers jumped up to defend me for killing the king, to finally back to the forest where the cursing white blob was not suprised to me me again to his own disdain. The whole forest was on fire and for me as the player to pick up the pieces in the game to solve the little puzzles in the rather puzzling cirumstances and roaring of laughter continuing to my Dante's Inferno of a VR game. (Curiously, I found that the bomb I had to blow up the forest, and basically the universe, was voiced by Arin Hansen from Game Grumps).

For a game called Accounting, they certainly got me accounting for all the collateral laughter and damage at my well-being (as well as sense of morals) for when I was young freshman at that time. (Ah, casual hazing.) But nonetheless, it's rather impressive of how CROWS CROWS CROWS were able to develop the game given the technological restraints, the fact the concepts together was a like baby thrown in the tech field all of sudden, and the amount of ambition and humour poured rather lovingly into the game. If you ever find yourself who meets peer who's incredibly excited to try out VR for the first time (and carry a pocket of mischief), recommend them to Accounting to kick off a night of camaderie, LSD , and an onslaught of hilarity.

(maybe he needs a snickers)
