Instincts Gameplay (Oculus Rift Gameplay)

Indie Developer Jake Deichert has posted a video for his Oculus Rift island survival game Instincts.  I was fortunate to play the game at this years LevelUp TO which showcased a lot of great student developed games. It was a lot of fun and was a crazy experience to actually look around in realtime and have that mapped to the game. Check out the video below!
