"But, why is the game called Chainless when there is so many chains?"
Ssshhh

"Why are the chains floating?"
... sshhhhh less questions more swinging.

I designed this game because I personally felt like VR lacked content that could be played for more than just a few hours - that was my goal, which I hope I have achieved in your opinion - if not, feedback is appreciated in the Discussion section!
Happy swinging!
