The creators of the infamous Richie’s Plank Experience revealed their latest VR exclusive title, Max Mustard, last year. Since then, the game has made its debut on Meta Quest. Now however, Toast Interactive has also confirmed Max Mustard will launch for PCVR players, via Steam.
What is Max Mustard?
Max Mustard is a made-for-VR platformer with a colourful art style. Think Lucky’s Tale, and you’re probably not too far off. Each of the 40 levels have been hand-crafted, and are their own unique adventure. They have been designed for intense gameplay and constant variety.
The plot sees an unscrupulous businessman, Stubbins, making an absolute fortune caging up and selling adorable animals, known as mudpups. He’s selling them as an elitist vanity product to the super rich. You and Max Mustard team up to save as many as you can.
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, however. Along the way, you’re faced with a surprise dilemma when a friend reveals a secret about who they really are. They impose a question on you that impacts the fate of your worst enemy. How will you choose?
The game combines first-person power-ups and classic third-person platforming. And according to Meta Quest users, it’s an impressive mix.
