LOVESICK: A Post-Punk Puzzle VR Game coming soon to Meta Quest

Middle-America, 1999. After a grueling tour that has left them emotionally drained and flat broke, the four members of The New Agenda make it back to their dilapidated home. They have nothing in the fridge, nothing in the bank, and nothing lined up for their future.

They can’t even survive a band practice without tearing each other apart, and during one especially disastrous practice session a supernatural event dubbed “the Feedback” plunges them all into a twisted alternate reality.

In LOVESICK, you assume the role of Sam, the band’s bassist, as he navigates the strange environments imprisoning his bandmates.
