Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via the Meta Store:
Death Game Hotel offers a thrilling VR gaming experience where players wager not just chips, but their body parts in a high-stakes survival game. This unique game spans both single and multiplayer modes, inviting players into a world of strategic gambling and visceral competition.
In single-player mode, you’re thrust into “Death Game 2000,” where you must battle against quirky foes for survival. Multiplayer mode raises the stakes, allowing players to create deadly games and compete against others globally.
- Goblet of the Reaper: A game of strategy where players must drop tiles into a blood-filled goblet and keep it from overflowing. The first to empty their hand without causing a goblet to overflow wins. One overflow extinguishes a Reaper Candle. When all are extinguished, the Reaper descends for one final deathmatch.
- Death Poker: This adds a new “death” suit to traditional poker that trumps all the other suits. Players can raise the stakes even further by betting their body parts!
