Visuals:

The art direction is low-poly but high-shader. Think Cruelty Squad meets The Backrooms . Colors hurt: neon pinks against vomit-green walls, scanlines that bleed when you blink. The "Caulino" filter adds chromatic aberration around the edges of the screen that intensifies when the Assistant is lying to you. JOI Lab VR Demo 0

Meta Quest

The demo is primarily designed for controllers, though others are compatible. Frame Rate: Locks at 72fps on Quest 3; 90fps on Index

• Frame Rate: Locks at 72fps on Quest 3; 90fps on Index. Drops to 45fps if you look directly at the floor (Caulino’s shadow simulation is unoptimized).
• Haptics: Requires a vest with 6+ actuators. The “Caulino purr” is currently too strong and may feel like a cell phone vibrating on a wooden desk rather than a living creature.
• Eye Tracking (Niche): If you have eye tracking, Caulino knows when you look at its core orb vs. its hand orbs. It reacts defensively if you stare at its connection joints.

User feedback on the Steam Community and Itch.io reflects its nature as an early-stage project. While praised for its polished voice acting and immersive physical presence, it is criticized for a lack of content variety and technical issues on non-Meta VR systems like the Valve Index. As of late 2024, it is widely viewed as a promising personal side project that succeeds by committing fully to its specific adult niche. JOI Lab VR Demo on Steam
