History

everybody's sad started as a venture to create an experience not based on violence. We felt that many VR experiences don't take advantage of room-scale technology, and decided to base our design off of this. We also believe that games have significant meanings behind them, so after weeks of debating, we decided we wanted to make a game that addresses the issues surrounding people pleasing. We are so proud of our game and are extremely thankful for everyone involved in the process!
