Why Gorilla Tag triggers motion sickness
Gorilla Tag is the exact opposite of a thumbstick game. Every meter you travel comes from pushing off surfaces with your hands, so the world accelerates in ways your balance organs never signed off on. New players tend to feel it in the first sessions, before the brain files this motion pattern as normal. Short sessions on day one beat one long one.
The comfort picture, with sources
- The store page is explicit about how you move: no buttons, no sticks, no teleportation. You push off surfaces to jump and squeeze them with both hands to climb. (Meta Horizon Store listing)
