For ~1.5 months I spent my evenings and weekends to make my first VR game. My girlfriend had no idea I had any involvement in the making of this game - let alone that I was going to propose to her.

The first levels are deliberately "generic" looking, to lead her astray and make the surprise (9:36) even bigger.
💖 Hints/insiders in the game:
• "Welcome to a new chapter in your life"
• Ring collection.
• "...help me first and then you can play with more rings..."
• We used 7x"chicken" as a nickname, which is why there are 7 chicken to upright.
• "need your help over at the school"; we met at a school.
• A paper landscape in a school locker was my "pickup line".
• Had our first date on the Golden Gate Bridge.
• Modelled part of our flat.
• We have a love/hate relationship with our Roomba.
• While she was playing I switched into a similar bowtie/shirt as the robot.
• etc.
