Please, Don’t Touch Anything coming to Gear VR on May 19th

With the release of Gear VR back at the end of 2014, many wondered whether or not Samsung could produce a consumer experience (though the only device available at the time was a developer, Innovator’s Edition) that would make VR enjoyable. As with mobile, the top priority is “apps, apps, apps,” and Samsung’s partnership with Facebook-owned VR company Oculus has helped increase the adoption of VR by the masses by way of Oculus apps such as Minecraft, Land’s End, ship defense game Gunjack, and VR social chat apps such as Altspace VR and Oculus Social, which gives Gear VR users the opportunity to VR share (yes, this concept is no longer just “virtual”). Gear VR users have consumed more than 2 million hours worth of content, but a new game may just double that time to 4 million.

The latest fun game to arrive for Gear VR is Please, Don’t Touch Anything, a game developed by BulkyPix, teases you with reverse psychology. Your fellow coworker decides to take a bathroom break and warns you, “Please, don’t touch anything,” though your kid-inquisitive side takes over and wants to touch something. To make matters worse, you find yourself in front of a control panel that has only 1 button – one red button. The fate of the city in front of you (on a green display) is in your hands. Press that button, and the whole city could be on the brink of a disaster. You can get a look at what to expect with this upcoming experience below.

BulkyPix already has Please, Don’t Touch Anything available at the Google Play Store and Steam, but is now preparing to bring it to both the Oculus Rift and Gear VR on May 19th. The wait won’t be long now; maybe the waiting time will help build the discipline you need to follow instructions and leave that button alone – for the city’s sake.
