Scary Baboon is a fast-paced multiplayer VR horror game where players become failed experiments trapped inside a dark, ever-changing laboratory. Every player is a different baboon, trying to run, hide, explore, and survive against monsters, including Meatmen, mutations, and other failed subjects roaming the halls. Built around jump scares, social chaos, player reactions, customisation, and shared moments, Scary Baboon turns each run into a new story of panic, discovery, and escape.

Partial A playable prototype of a multiplayer VR horror game in Unity or Unreal is vibe-codeable, but a shippable social VR game needs polished 3D art, animation, tuned horror design, and reliable multiplayer netcode.
What it would actually take: Build in Unity or Unreal with an existing VR framework (e.g., OpenXR) and a networking layer such as Photon or Netcode for GameObjects. The hard parts are the art and animation pipeline for monsters and characters, netcode that stays smooth in VR across many players, and comfort and performance tuning on headsets. This needs experienced game and VR developers plus artists and playtesting.
