Asymmetric reverse-VR co-op puzzle game about finding the difference between sound and visuals to break the curse.
Hooga Chaka was a reverse-VR co-op puzzle game where one player with a reverse-VR headset (display facing outward instead of inward) and headphones would need to collaborate with others to find discrepancies between what the others see and what the headset wearer hears over the headphones. The main player inhabits the captured explorer strapped to a pole surrounded by hypnotising natives.
The goal of the game is to select the native musician which is visually playing but not present in the sound scape. Or the native who'se sound is out of place (using directional audio). Once the correct native has been found out, the curse is broken and the player is freed from the hypnosis and escapes.
