Should you play it?

Scary Baboon is a fast-paced multiplayer VR horror game where players become failed experiments trapped inside a dark, ever-changing laboratory. Every player is a different baboon, trying to run, hide, explore, and survive against monsters, including Meatmen, mutations, and other failed subjects roaming the halls. Built around jump scares, social chaos, player reactions, customisation, and shared moments, Scary Baboon turns each run into a new story of panic, discovery, and escape. Available on Meta Quest, the game has grown into one of ENVER’s most visible VR titles, powered by community demand, creator-led discovery, a Discord community of more than 220,000 members, and regular live updates that expand its world, items, cosmetics, monsters, and survival systems.
