I Have No Idea What I'm Doing [Amnesia Fortnight 2017]

Vote Now!

“I Have No Idea What I’m Doing” is a fast-paced VR party game where you need to rely on your friends outside VR to figure out who you are, where you are, and what the heck you’re supposed to be doing.

Each VR micro-game warps the you into a strange and befuddling situation for a short, timed challenge. Are you controlling a giant puppet head from inside? An octopus landing a plane? A baby president?

The fact is, you’ll have no idea what’s going on and you’ll need your friends outside VR to use clues they’re given to help you figure it out. Of course, they have no idea what’s happening either and the clock is ticking, so there’ll probably be a lot of yelling involved.

If you like your games to be surreal, social, and a little bit stupid, vote for “I Have No Idea What I’m Doing.”

Amnesia Fortnight is a two-week internal game jam in which the Double Fine development teams drop what they're doing and work on prototypes for new games. It was originally designed as a break away from traditionally long development cycles to make something different for a while, but in later years provided prototypes for games such as Costume Quest, Iron Brigade, Hack n’ Slash and Stacking.

Congrats, Zak! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I bet this one gets one of the company or Tim spots, seems like a game a company would want to test out the VR waters with. Kinda like Happy Action Theater for Kinect

I dig the idea, but will probably dig it more in a few years when VR gets a bit easier to acquire for the average consumer.

Awesome idea, and it's got my vote, though I suspect the lack of widespread VR adoption at this point might keep it from winning the popular vote. It still could be selected by the Double Fine team or by Tim, so fingers crossed!

Interesting concept, but trading a vr headset back and forth would be cumbersom

this seems amazing, I always loved Wario Ware and surreal mini games, but unfortunately VR excludes me, and probably a lot of other people.

We called it "pantomime".

Actually we called it "crocodile", but I don't know the name of this game in the rest of the world.

This looks awesome but I have no VR machine ;-;

[ChaonicMew]

So if you don't know, what you are.... and your friends don't know either... How does it ever matter, if anyone finds out?

[spdyrel]

This one sounds awesome but being VR means a lot won't be able to play.

[rhubarbjohnson]

Is this Vive only or would it work on Oculus as well?

[hazardoushumanoid]

I love the idea but I lack both the requirements to play ;_;

[sandpingu]

VR means I will never be able to play this in my life

[kingck]

just like Yahtzee from zero punction why are people trying to make VR singleplayer experience into a party game it was never designed for local player.

I don't often have people over, but this sounds like a good VR game when having people over.
