Company Roulette

A high-stakes gamble for your future.

About the Game

Company Roulette is a Virtual Reality experience developed in Unity 6 as part of the course 'Realidades Expandidas XR' from the Video Games degree at Universidade Lusófona. The game was only tested with the Meta Quest VR headsets. In this intense psychological showdown, you play as an overworked employee who has finally had enough. You march up to the 42nd floor to confront your eccentric billionaire boss and demand a well-deserved raise. But instead of negotiations, you’re met with a twisted game of chance - one where every decision could mean doubling your salary or losing your job on the spot.

Gameplay

Seated across from your boss, you must navigate a simple yet unpredictable set of rules:

• On the table, there’s a random number of pistol magazines - some empty, some loaded with a flag that says "Bang!".
• Each turn, you pick a magazine and decide: shoot yourself or shoot the Boss?
• If you shoot yourself and the chamber is empty, you can keep picking magazines - until a flag is fired.
• The round only ends when someone loses all their lives, at which round the stakes get even higher if you win or lose all if you lose.

Your fate isn’t entirely left to chance. The game introduces strategic items that can be used to tip the odds in your favor… if you can figure out how.
