Dimensional Double Shift is designed exclusively for hand tracking, empowering and immersing players to serve Gas N’ Grill’s customers without the need to pick up a controller. Up to four friends can band together to enjoy Owlchemy’s signature irreverent humor and vibrant VR worlds. The Trainee Program is the first of many Dimensional Double Shift content launches, with more dimensions, gameplay activities, and features added regularly!
In Dimensional Double Shift, players work together to operate a combination garage and diner across an eclectic array of dimensions in the Omniverse. Players will cook, fix, refuel, incinerate, soak, and serve the bizarre citizens of each dimension, earning rewards and progressing in their career with corporate-approved Conglomni Corp. swag. Don’t waste any food — Conglomni Corp’s resident manager, ALICE, is always watching!
“Owlchemy is known for its highly polished, technically advanced, and comical titles. Dimensional Double Shift has everything players love about our games, but takes it one step further with multiplayer, so you can share the experience with friends,” said Owlchemy Labs CEOwl Andrew Eiche. “Hand tracking makes everything much more intuitive, now you can focus purely on the game rather than having to worry about pressing the right buttons. Players can throw stuff around, banter over who’s the better fry cook, and collaborate to complete each objective. The world is your oyster; all we did is build it for you.”
