About this game
The project Zombie Ants VR is to educate players on the zombifying spore, ophiocordyceps, and its ability to infect carpenter ants and manipulate their brain to continue their reproduction cycle. The experience is to showcase that there is more to this cycle; specifically about how the fungi behaves and gets away with it.
