Which trick shots should we try next? 🪀
In our upcoming VR game, The Amusement, the yo-yo isn’t just a toy. It’s your tool to overcome blocked paths and explore the entire Luna Park 🎡

Good thing you loved climbing so much as a child, you’ll need those skills more than once while exploring the park 🧗
This time, you’re rewarded with a great view of the giant dwarf and the entire maze ✨

Carl’s workshop is one of the many places you’ll need to investigate while checking the old rides 🎡
It’s where ideas for new attractions were once created, and, more importantly, where your old yo-yo was built 🪀

We’re proud of how far our yo-yo has come ✨🪀
As one of the very first tool ideas for The Amusement, it’s been with us from the start, and it has grown a lot since then.

So much work from @benficalis.bsky.social and our team at @curvaturegames.bsky.social bringing this to life over countless iterations. "Yoyoable" is now a commonly used word by the team ❤️🪀
Who would have thought your childhood toy could come in handy while walking* around the park? 🪀🎡
With this trusty tool, no hidden corner is safe from you!
*literally, we use redirected walking in our VR game 😉

Interacting with the scenery is a core part of The Amusement.
As she inspects this abandoned amusement park, Samantha will have to manipulate all kinds of objects and mechanisms: a postcard, a yo-yo, pipes, rails…
In short, the park reveals itself to the curious ones!

At the end of the maze, you stumble upon the old booth. The desk looks as if no time has passed. Your dad’s photo, the tickets, even the yo-yo you loved as a child, everything looks the same 🖼️🪀
But maybe a second look wouldn’t hurt. What would you check first? 🤔
