Zombie Ants VR

Zombie Ants VR is a short (5-10 minute) educational experience that takes the player through the life cycle of Ophiocordyceps, a fungus that drives creatures (in this case ants) to change their behavior in order to propagate the fungus then ultimately kills them. This fungus was a large inspiration for the video game series The Last of Us.

The game offers several different control schemes to accommodate all sorts of players from those who have never used VR before (and those susceptible to motion sickness) to those who want a more interactive experience.

The game is available on Steam for $3.99.
