Be honest: You wanna be a cute little mouse, right? In Moss you get that chance and thensome, as you inhabit the rodent character Quill who goes on a classic storybook adventure to save her kingdom. The game is a combination of puzzles and gentle combat, and in a fun fourth-wall breaking twist, Quill is aware that you’re a player and interacts with you throughout.

Real life murder mystery parties? Cloying, annoying, and too hard to stay in character while eating free food. The Invisible Hours? A fascinating, gripping, genuinely suspenseful murder mystery that places you smack-dab in the middle of the scene of the crime. There’s not actually much “playing” in this game, but you’ll have fun being a Hercule Poirot-shaped fly on this mansion’s wall.

Subnautica

What if Bioshock was less about horrifying violence and more about, like, exploring the dang ocean? You might have something like Subnautica, an open-world adventure in which you must survive in a bizarre underwater society on another planet. The visuals in this game are breathtaking, and the VR component makes it feel like scuba on LSD (which is good!).

Lone Echo

VR games aren’t just for pretty scenery or the novelty of “you are there.” With titles like Lone Echo, they’re a conduit for uniquely immersive narratives unavailable in any other medium. In this meditative sci-fi game, you play Jack, an android tasked with helping Olivia, a human, fix a space station. To say anything else would spoil the journey.
