Accounting

Accounting is a virtual reality video game by Crows Crows Crows and Squanchtendo, released on Microsoft Windows for the SteamVR platform in 2016. An updated version with additional content entitled Accounting+ was released on December 19, 2017 for PlayStation VR, and eventually on PC on October 18, 2018. It was later released for Oculus Quest on July 3, 2019. Gameplay and plot The player is introduced in a small basement office by two accountants (William Pugh and Dominik Johann) through a phone call as a candidate for a new "virtual reality accounting" experiment, which supposedly increases efficiency in accounting: the player is invited to put on (in-game) a VR helmet. The player is then teleported to a small idyllic meadow, but that's interrupted by a puffy white person sticking out of a tree hollow (Justin Roiland) throwing insults and profanity at the player for showing up uninvited. The accountants contact the player through a landline phone and express their panic about the experiment going wrong, while the player can use a nearby VR helmet to go one level deeper into virtual reality. The player arrives in an alleyway where four animal-like gangsters Ging (Cassie Steele), Zing (Rich Fulcher), Ming (Vatche Panos), and Ding (Roiland) are holding a profanity-laden conversation. The gang name the player 'Scooter' and exhort him to do illegal acts until the player throws a brick through a window, alerting the police. Using Ding's posterior as a headset, the player then escapes to a dungeon, meeting The King of VR (Panos), another puffy obese creature, who is initially friendly but gradually turns insulting; the player stabs and disembowels the King, and pulls out yet another VR helmet from its body to go one level deeper. In the next world, a player finds a xylophone made out of bones, with two chatty skulls (Roiland and Steele) attached, who urge the player to use other bones to play the xylophone, appearing to have some sort of sexual satisfaction if the player does so and disappointment if the player stops. In a cabinet behind the player, a small jar of acid is found: drinking it causes the player to die. In the PlayStation VR and SteamVR version, a coin in the cabinet can be used to enter a door, transporting the player to a room with two fast-food addicted demon worshippers (Chelsea Kane and Roiland). They help the player to summon Satan with the help of a rap mixtape performed by Casper.
