Is Booper, Get Home! down?

Booper is your typical kid with a twist: Booper is autistic and doesn’t talk. Booper likes to play and have fun; except while on vacation, Booper gets lost and needs to get back home. Help Booper solve puzzles, platform through an expansive, challenging world and explore a vast, colorful landscape straight from a child’s imagination. As the game progresses, the known world subtly morphs into a wild and fantastical microcosm created wholly from the drawings and paintings of the developer’s son.

The player controls and guides Booper to search and find all the items needed to solve puzzles and progress to the end goal of finding home. Along the way, Booper will meet many wild and vivid characters, avoid traps, pitfalls and dangers, as well as make a friend or two! Development Roadmap: Booper Get Home! is currently under development for the HTC Vive, with plans to expand to the Valve Index and other VR platforms. Potential exists to port to Windows / Mac and SteamOS. The final game is planned to be 5-7 hours of gameplay. Future plans include the addition of expansion packs and, based on feasibility, allowing parents to upload drawings done by their own children as a means to incorporate new art to modify the characters and props via a phone app. Further future plans (possibly a sequel) will allow for the player to interactive...
