Re:Zero VR App Lets You Sleep in Rem's Lap

The anime digital goods brand Gugenka has announced a VR smartphone app featuring the character Rem from Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, titled "Life in an Alternate World With Rem in VR." There will be two different installments, with one allowing you to sleep in Rem's lap and the second letting you sleep beside her. Both installments will include a "figure appreciation" mode in which you can view Rem in three different scenes from any angle you please.

24 new scenes featuring Rem's voice actress, Inori Minase, have been created for the app. The scenes will include events, birthdays, and a scene in which Rem will give you a nickname based on the first syllable of your name.
