Winkwander is primarily a mechanics showcase focused on allowing those who are non-able-bodied to experience the future of gaming and technology, VR. To achieve this, a non-standard medium was required to make the game easily accessible to those who struggle with hand-based controllers. The blend of fantasy and freedom is Winkwander's primary goal, and even though it is incomplete as of now, I hope the idea and inspiration behind Winkwander can become something much larger in the future.
