GAMEPLAY
In each room of the three leveled house, you will find clues and furniture you can interact with.
By pressing E near a clue, you will hear my sensual voice giving you my conclusions about it.
By pressing E near a piece of furniture, you will move it to see if a clue is hidden under it.
When you think you have the identity of the killer, you will have to answer a quizz: who is the killer, what clues did he left... And for bonus points, try to determine if the other suspects also have something to hide.
It was tested by about ten friends and members of my family. The average duration of the game was between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 (quizz included). All the persons that managed to find the identity of the killer did so by checking if each of the suspect's alibi was plausible according to the clues they left.
WHY I WANTED TO DO THAT GAME
VRInvestigation uses the capacity of the Oculus to make you see details you would barely notice on a computer screen: glass marks on a table, blood drops on the floor... I even wrote a full letter myself and took a picture of it to put it in the game, but it's not readable with the current Dev Kit (maybe with the HD screen?)
I look forward for your advices and critics. I'll always be there if you have any question!
Stay safe and don't get yourself killed in the Rift, or you might end up in one of my next games!
The following paragraph is outdated but I'll copy it here so you can understand the next answers:
The game is completed. However, I would like to sell it 1 dollar, and have no idea where to publish it. Is there an official Oculus Rift game selling platform yet? Or do you guys have any advices for me?
And on how to get the attention of as many Rifters as possible?

but here is something really important
what did you use to make the game?
you cant just "want to sell it for 1$"
go check your engine's policy on licensing
There's no Oculus app store, but what you can do is:
1) Use something like http://gumroad.com to host and sell your game. The website is really nice, discovered it today. Could make selling games directly to customers a breeze. Only problem I see is that it only supports credit card as payment method (no PayPal, etc). Anyway, there may be other sites like that which meet your needs.
2) Once you've got it up and ready to sell, add your game to the Rift app directory sites like riftenabled.com, theriftlist.com, stv.re, and plug your game on these forums and reddit/r/oculus or wherever you want?
Of course, this assumes you're good with all your licenses and can legally sell it.
Good luck!
Yep, just received the positive answer for my commercial licence for UDK, so I'm all good with the law!

Here for the How to play:

(the design of the website is still under construction, but everything is playable)
And I also edited my first post.
Go try it, and report back with your questions and/or feedbacks.
Can't wait to dive into this once we find a fix to the Monocam issue.

(of course, whenever I make an improved version of the game, I'll send a free copy to all people that already have a previous version)
Sometimes the game doesn't recognize the oculus at the start.
To fix that:
Type ` (the tilt button) to open the console.
Enter in the console stereo on
And then hmdwarp on
This worked all the time for me, let me know if it fixes your problem.
Clues Storage: When you interact with one, the arrow should disappear and stored in some polaroid interface. Because of the resolution of the Rift, I think using polaroids with large text at the bottom of it describing what it is would help a lot. You can navigate the polaroids like a horizontal slider (think Apple Mac OSX Coverflow). Interacting with a selected polaroid will play the voice/dialog for that object.
Clue Highlighting: Its sometimes hard to 'use' a clue as pressing the X or use button won't activate anything unless you are in a specific position. I think if you remove the arrow objects and have objects that can be interacted with highlight, then it would be perfect.
Anyways, I enjoyed it. I'm not going to confirm my idea of who the killer is yet, but I'll give it another look later. Oh and I love a lot of those easter eggs.
Good job man.

Set your native screen resolution to 1280x800 then run the game. That should fix the problem, at least it did for me.

Thanks. Setting the native screen to 1200X800 fixed the problem for me too. Though the game is still within the window, when i view in the oculus it is fully immersive and i dont see the edges and bottom of my computer. And as someone mentioned i had the same problems with other UDK demos but i haven't tried them with modified screen resolution yet.

New menu
Firstly you will be greeted by a very basic menu, that only contains a
logo, a play and an exit buttons.
But the real menu is in game. You will start in a dark room, with all the
instructions written on the walls. There are also two doors, one that
start the game and one that close it. You can go back to that room
whenever you want to reread the instructions.
Easier objects interactions
I haven't created a crosshair or highlighted the items yet, but I have
increased the zones of interaction for the items, so it should be a lot
easier to activate them.
-is your oculus plugged in?
-are you able to prompt the console?
-the commands in the console are:
stereo on
and then
hmdwarp on
Do any of these commands do anything?
What is new :
-by default, the view should be in stereoscopy when you start the game. So you don't have to prompt the console anymore
-most rooms now have paintings and posters on their walls
-the game is now available in French aswell as in English
