About the Game

Detour Bus is a VR construction-comedy adventure, where you build ridiculous winding highways, to take the dysfunctional Flowers family on a road trip across Post-Infrastructure America. Nostalgia junkie Daddy Flowers aims to revive his family's bonds before the end of Summer vacation, but stuck together in a restored microbus, workaholic Momma, communist-in-training Junior, and social-media-baby Goldie have a lot more to fight about than unite over. Meanwhile, the open road is under threat; you'll have to get in the construction groove to take on corrupt Senator Joseph McCarthief’s attempts to turn all freeways into pay-to-drive tunnels and reclaim your right to transportation.

Features:


  • build the world's grooviest toy car track using accessible snap-and-place controls
  • eight iconic landmarks to navigate - from Mt. Busmore to the depths of the active Buscano
  • explore environments in a unique psychedelic art style - never before seen in VR
  • voice over from your passengers that responds to how you build
  • a giant tow truck mech to take down

Accessibility Considerations:


  • default one-button controls
  • closed captioning
  • dyslexia friendly fonts
  • one-controller mode
  • no-reach (3DoF) mode
  • buttons only mode (no controller tracking required)
  • full button remapping
  • artificial locomotion options including snap and smooth moving and turning
  • standing/sitting height calibration and manual height adjustment
