Could I play this sitting on an office chair?

[Gerry The Leper]

I'm currently recovering from ankle surgery and was wondering if its possible to play this sitting down.

Thanks!

Possible but not as fun and harder

[Zavri]

Not really no.

I'd have to say no, maybe on a stool with rollers so you can slide side to side, but that would be hard. Issue is that sometimes you have to move from your original starting position to get to blocks or dodge.

Yes you can but I found out quick you have to get away from the desks. ;-) Actually, I just shot a video today demonstrating play on a stool for folks with bad knees and those with issues with heights. On the flat videos the environment looks pretty cool and even cooler in VR but it's pretty high for some folks who might have height issues. So sitting can work. You don't "have" to jump around to avoid the pillars but it is better if you can. However, some folks can't move around freely and so it's nice to have the option if you aren't able to. If you can move, move.

You don't need a stool with rollers. Actually, you just need to move your head out of the way of the pillars, not your entire body. It's more immersive if you do move your entire body but it works with a stationery chair so the game is great for those who are less mobile as well as those who can move a lot. Honestly, the way the game engages the brain in critical actions, I'd recommend it for elderly folks who need mental stimulation (maybe not expert mode but easy and perhaps normal - start with no arrows and work up to arrows).

Did you post this vid to Youtube or somewhere? Link? We'd like to see sitting play in action before we buy the game. Thanks.

Yes, but I would recomend heavily playing with no Arrow mode. Just so you can at least slash the blocks at whatever direction is most comfortable for you.
