iving in a future era when automation has taken over much of people’s lives, Kurt is the last human worker at the Amazon-like Jüngle Fulfillment Centre (JFC). Given he’s spent decades in the job without being replaced by another machine, he must be good at what he does. So it’s disorientating for him to find he’s being made to go through a worker’s orientation.
That’s down to a malfunction with his co-bot Skew, who instructs Kurt as if he’s a new employee in a cheesy, cheery voice (once Skew’s fixed, Jason Isaacs gives a sweary performance as the ’bot instead). Of course, the orientation allows you to get used to both Kurt’s perspective and the vehicle he’s in, used for moving around and delivering packages.
Your left Sensecontroller-clad hand can reach a lever; simply hold
p to move the vehicle forward (although you can also just keep your hand down and move with the control stick if you prefer). Meanwhile, you pick up packages with your right hand using a device similar to a gravity gun, which can be fitted with parts for other functions, such as for firing label stickers, or even actual projectiles.
JÜNGLE BOOGIE
If you don’t fancy getting involved in combat you can try to avoid being captured by the machines patrolling the JFC instead. Stealth might not seem a quality inherent to Kurt’s hulking vehicle, but it’s surprisingly versatile, as q and e allow you to change its height while gives it a quick boost when needed.
The JFC is a huge place, with its share of hiding places and vents, and thanks to PSVR2’s crisp resolution and wide field of view, you really do feel like you’re inside a giant storage labyrinth – and that’s just scratching the surface of Jüngle’s many secrets.
