A downloadable game

Pull on your paws and become Copper, a brave beagle, in a heartwarming VR adventure!

In "Copper's Journey," you'll see the world through a dog's eyes. Use your incredible sense of smell, sharp hearing, and unique perspective to solve puzzles, track down clues, and reunite with your beloved family.

Features:

A Dog's World: Experience the world in vibrant blues and yellows from Copper's point of view. Every object tells a story, and not every encounter is friendly.

Canine Intuition: Learn to read the body language of other dogs, understanding when they're friendly or feeling threatened.

A Touch of Reality: Discover dogs' everyday challenges and anxieties in a human-sized world.

Puzzles and Challenges: Overcome obstacles, find treats, and befriend (or outsmart) other animals – including the helpful, if bossy, pigeon Brian.

"Copper's Journey" is a unique VR experience full of fun, puzzle-solving, and a heartwarming tale of canine determination. Get ready to sniff, explore, and wag your way home!

Copper Journey is a prototype for my final major project for my MA in Indie Game Development at Falmouth University. I'm attempting to answer the following research question.

“Can VR games that place the player in challenging scenarios from a dog's perspective (e.g., loud noises, crowds, excited children) increase human empathy towards canine behaviour?”

If you play Cooper's Journey, please provide me feedback via the online survey. This survey will be completely anonymous, and the data will only be used to assist in answering the research question. All data will be deleted once my final project is submitted (16 August 2024). PC VR & Native Quest builds.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback received. I hope you enjoy this little slice of Copper's world.
