About the Game

Hustle is a story-driven VR puzzle-adventure built around mission-based escape-room challenges, set in a stylish space-noir bounty-hunter universe with retro anime energy. You’re thrown into high-stakes sci-fi scenarios where every panel, tool, and loose component matters—solve the room, survive the situation, and uncover what’s really behind the job.

Build and experiment with modular parts to create interactive tools and small vehicles, then use what you made to open new paths, bypass broken systems, and solve layered puzzles in your own way. Each mission pushes the story forward with escalating stakes and memorable twists.

Key Features

  • Escape-room VR puzzles: multi-step challenges with clue hunting, logic chains, and physical problem solving

  • Assembly gameplay: build and experiment with interactive devices, tools, and vehicles using modular parts

  • Story-driven missions: an episodic bounty-hunter narrative with stylish tone shifts and surprising contracts

  • Hands-on interaction: flip switches, reroute power, open hidden compartments, operate worn futuristic tech

  • Comfort-focused design: built around room-scale interaction with comfort options for different play styles

The Job

In Hustle, every contract has a price—and sometimes the client’s request makes you question what “success” even means.

(VR headset required.)
