the launch of Bonelab for Meta Quest 2 and other virtual reality devices would have gone unnoticed if not for one of the first tasks we have to carry out. However, we must first put the title of Stress Level Zero into context.
The work boasts of having incredibly realistic physics that allow us to create all kinds of situations. This is intensified with the wide variety of weapons that we will have at our disposal to finish off the enemies. All this through a plot that will take us to a secret underground laboratory located in the city of MythOS.
Practically like a sandbox, the experience is being highly praised by Steam users with mostly positive reviews. However, in the first steps of the game we will find a rope in a dark void without any indication on what we should do.
At this point, all we have to do is place it around our neck to appear in a medieval setting. A group of people dressed in black robes watch what aims to be our death, but at the last moment we are able to free ourselves with a knife. Here you can see the scene, starting at minute 1:23.
a controversial scene
As you can well see in the video, the creator has introduced a warning about what we are going to witness. This does not happen originally in Bonelab, which has drawn criticism from several players in Reddit. “It didn’t bother me, but it seemed unnecessary and the developers should have given players the option to skip it
“There is a small minority of gamers who think that their opinion is the only one that matters and that developers shouldn’t worry about the mental health of all gamers,” says another user. Branded as an adult game, Bonelab has been compared to other titles, especially Superhot.
The 2016 game also included several scenes of suicide or forcing the avatar to be damaged to advance, so Superhot Team opted for include warning messages after the controversy that arose. As Dusk Falls also includes a message before starting a chapter to avoid seeing a cutscene, as long as the player wishes to do so.
