Want to soar around a floating iridescent tree in a neon-lit, Tron-inspired atrium with one arm outstretched like some virtual Superman?
Or perhaps you’re the type who’d prefer to hang around an “Ancient Art Museum” offering dating advice to strangers engaged in strained virtual romances?
Maybe you just want to park your avatar in front of a mirror at “The Void” club and chat up cute femboys and girls on the off chance you’ll get a lap dance and experience the phenomenon known as phantom touch. Or you could explore The Great Plateau from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and quite literally become Link.
It’s your choice. This is a zone of endless possibilities, and it’s called VRChat.
In any other year of more recent human history, I wouldn’t have designated VRChat, a free-of-charge collection of public and private virtual worlds that anyone with a VR headset or plain ol’ PC can access, as essential.
