In The Isle of Lost Skulls (a Rec Room Quest), your goal is to travel with two friends into the heart of darkness, with the aim of defeating the ruler of the undead pirate horde that have taken over the nearby community of Port Plunder.
You mainly use swords to defeat these skeletons - with the addition of bottles, cups, plates, fish, brooms, stools, explosive jugs, cork flintlock pistols, and cannons. No blood, all sort of cartoony - but still allowing for the expression of violence.
Reviving teammates is a must, if you wish to survive.
I think maybe we all have in us this need to simulate combat of some variety. This is the nature of most sports, if you think about it.
Some vague simulation of war (think American Football).
Perhaps it's been drilled into the meat of our brains after these eons of serving as hunter-gatherers, then tribal warriors, soldiers, competitive businessmen, etc.
As long as you are using "violence" for "good", then it's a-okay.
Hopefully this changes your mind about Rec Room - for the depth of content that's available, the teleportation system, the social-dynamic, and the graphics style.
Using a new presentation format, incorporating the third-person streamer cam into the camera/first-person feed.
(Rec Room is free, by the way)
