Sushi Ben VR’s trains will always roll past just as you’re about to leave

A train crossing in Sushi Ben VR.

In my game’s tech demo anytime someone is about to get to the bounds of the playable part of the map a train will conveniently block their path 🚊🚊#UE4#VR#gamedev#screenshotsaturday#indiedevpic.twitter.com/mPVMsf9Ov0— Dmaw⛅ - Wishlist Sushi Ben on Steam (@DmawDev)June 5, 2021To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings

It’s from Sushi Ben VR, an upcoming VR “slice of life anime sim” about moving to a small seaside town and getting to know the unwelcoming locals as you become a regular at a sushi bar. It uses 3D manga panels to help tell the story too, as you can see with the train alerts.

Here’s a clip from an earlier prototype showing an attempt to get trapped in an endless train hell:
