Engage in an extraterrestrial experience. Aliens have come to Earth and have taken you and others captive. When They Came For Us is the first interactive VR experience that allows you to have a conversation with an alien. A conversation that will challenge many things you have taken for granted. But this conversation will also decide about your freedom: Will you manage to convince the alien life form to release you? Or will you remain at its mercy, to be used as it pleases?

Vegan Propaganda published by PETA

Talking to an antagonistic villainous judgmental alien, as if on trial, will no more turn people to veganism, than talking to a virtual Darth Vader in a game would turn someone into an imperialist. Nevertheless, it seems the game creators genuinely think that's what will happen. Despite the content, the concept has so much potential. Talking to an AI character in game that understands and responds to you is very interesting. But this implementation is not good. It's very extremist, and will not consider any arguments you make, dismisses human suffering and the environment, and is very antagonistic.

When they came for us.

What an absolute waste of memory this is. Was this app programmed by a load of Vegan programmers because that's all the questions it asks, how we treat animals and then it asks you to go vegan. Every question reverts back to how we control and treat animals. Was a waste of my vr battery life. Deleted it after I tried it a few times and got the same questions. AVOID PLAYING... And have a Medium Juicey Fillet steak instead.😜

Small game but interesting 🤔

This game is basically about veganism and where you have to talk to this robot that asks you a question about veganism(asks why humanity tortures animals etc...)You have 7 minutes to convince him to not kill you. So I found this very interesting because it teaches you about veganism and it wants you to switch to veganism.

It's okay, kinda mid, but interesting

It's essentially a chat gpt wrapper made by Peta to convince you of going vegan. It isn't really smart or convincing, and I honestly wasn't afraid one bit by the alien. However, I really like the idea even if it's not really well realized. I suggest you try it, it's free and might change your mind about eating meat or using animal products.

Very interesting concept

As it’s not advertised in the description or trailer, this is actually propaganda to convert humans to become vegans, seemingly supported by PETA. You have to convince the AI alien that you support the freedom and life of animals to be set free. However, I did enjoy having a live conversation with the AI alien. I wasn’t able to convince her to set me free. This experience might give you a guilty conscience. I would love to see this concept as a game instead of a propaganda experience.
