Thursday, 8th February 2024.
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and indie games developers Paw Print Games Ltd. & vTime Ltd, are today very happy and excited to announce that their VR puzzle/sim “Border Bots VR”, is now available for PCVR (via Steam) and PSVR2 (via PSN).

Transporting players to a robot-led future and placing them into the boots of a human border agent stationed within a futuristic megacity, Border Bots VR will task players with managing the flow of robots into the city after an incident sees them mysteriously malfunctioning.

Players will need to examine documents and employ the use of a variety of quirky gadgets, including a 3D printer, barcode scanner, and contraband detector, to interact with a host of friendly assistant AI and mechanical denizens, ensuring they have the necessary clearance to enter the city, and aren’t concealing any unauthorised items.

Border Bots Key Features:

· Analyse: Check documents for discrepancies and robots for unauthorised modifications while confiscating forbidden items

· Utilise: Ensure a hard day’s work with an array of handy gadgets such as a 3D Printer, Barcode Scanner, and Contraband Detector

· Corporatise: Rise up the corporate ladder by purchasing upgrades, gadgets, and booth enhancements, and keep an eye on the competition with performance review leaderboards.
