FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Amebous Labs’ premiere virtual reality game is available now on the Meta Quest App Lab Store.
ATLANTA, Jan. 27, 2022 — Atlanta-based gaming studio, Amebous Labs, is proud to officially announce the early access release of its debut title, Loam Sandbox. The garden sim game aims to provide players with a comforting and creative virtual reality experience.


In the magical world of Loam Sandbox, players begin with a near-empty garden space they can personalize to their liking by harvesting and selling flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables to purchase more seeds and new decor. As players transform plots into the gardens of their dreams, they will attract cute critters, adding unique life to every garden design!

     
The game is available exclusively on the Meta Quest platform for $14.99 and is compatible with Meta Quest and Meta Quest 2 headsets.


“Our talented team of developers, artists, designers, and creatives have come together to create something truly magical. We wanted to produce a VR title that allowed players to escape into their own world where they could design, create, and nurture a garden year-round,” said Executive Producer Annie Eaton. “We’ve overcome many challenges to develop an experience that gives players a fully customizable space, built for mobile VR first. We hope that people of all backgrounds will enjoy putting their own touch on the land of Loam.”


From the start of Loam’s development in early 2020, its goal has been to give players the ability to enter a comforting world where they can relax and express their creativity. But just like the seeds available within the game, Loam is constantly growing; Amebous Labs is requesting player feedback to ensure that future updates and downloadable content are as positive as possible. Join the community on discord to reach our team directly and let us know what you think.


“Our team put forth a great deal of effort and care into making a virtual reality game that is as beautiful as it is relaxing,” said Producer Amy Stout. “As the game continues to evolve, we hope to add special touches that provide more avenues for players to showcase their individuality.”


Founded in March 2020 by Annie Eaton, Amebous Labs brings together innovative developers, artists, and writers to craft immersive games and worlds for players to enjoy. The woman-led gaming studio is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
