The Last Worker, an anti-capitalist VR narrative adventure, arrives this month on Quest, PSVR 2 and PC VR.

Jointly developed by Oiffy and Wolf & Wood, The Last Worker is a dystopian adventure packing an all-star cast that includes Zelda Williams and Tommie Earl Jenkins. Playing as world-weary factory worker Kurt (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), you’re asked to help dismantle his employer from within, and Kurt’s joined by his robotic companion Stew (Jason Isaacs).

The Last Worker arrives on March 30 for the Meta Quest platform, PSVR 2 and PC VR for $19.99. A flatscreen release is also planned for PC, PS5, Switch and Xbox Series X|S,
