A Very Difficult Game About Walking on Quest 3 is built around one extremely simple idea, you walk through obstacle courses on long stilts, collect stars, and try not to fall over. It sounds harmless on paper, but in practice it quickly becomes one of the most challenging VR games you can play.
The difficulty is the entire experience. Walking on stilts is not just about moving your virtual arms, you constantly need to shift your real body weight to stay upright. Lean too far, overcorrect slightly, or panic for half a second, and you are on the ground. It feels clumsy at first, then frustrating, and eventually funny once you accept that falling is part of the design. Screenshots don't do it justice, that's why I will include videos of me playing the game.
Levels are short and very focused. Narrow paths, moving platforms, awkward angles, all designed to mess with your balance in subtle ways. The controls themselves are very simple and easy to understand, but executing clean movement takes real concentration and physical awareness. Progress is slow, but every star you manage to collect feels genuinely earned.
What really works here is how confident the game is in its simplicity. There is no story, no complex progression systems, and no unnecessary distractions. You load a level, you fail, you try again. That loop makes it perfect for short play sessions, and also makes it extremely watchable. Watching someone confidently step forward and immediately wipe out never stops being funny, and the game feels like a natural TikTok clip farm.
One slightly odd thing worth mentioning is the name. The developers seem to keep changing it. It used to be called Walk Master VR, then it showed up as A Very Difficult Game About Walking, and now it appears to go by Keep Balance And Carry On. It is a bit confusing, but regardless of the name, the core experience stays exactly the same.
A Very Difficult Game About Walking is not a relaxing game, and it is not trying to be. If you enjoy hard, physical VR games that make you laugh at your own failures, this one is easy to recommend. It is brutally difficult, extremely simple, and surprisingly fun once you embrace the chaos.
The game was reviewed on a Quest 3 via a promo copy provided by the developers. A Very Difficult Game About Walking is available on Meta Quest.
