Complete with an angry virtual crowd cheering for your death, this new game called ‘Disunion’ simulates an execution. More specifically, it simulates your execution. Disunion requires the soon-to-be-executed player to kneel with their head and chest over a table. When the game begins, they use their [virtual reality goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-classics-virtual-boy) to look around at the crowd and wait anxiously until the executioner’s blade finally drops. Although Disunion is shocking, the real surprise is that it looks like a lot of fun. In the video from Oculus Rift, the users always finishes the simulation with smiles on their faces, cursing their friends for giving them a karate chop to the neck as the simulated blade fell. Are you brave enough to go under the blade? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Virtual Guillotine Simulators:** Simulation games that bring virtual reality to the forefront of entertainment. - **Gamification of Morbid Reality:** Using game mechanics to turn darker themes into entertainment. - **Alternate Reality Gaming:** Virtual reality platforms that immerse users in game-like experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming:** Developing new and innovative games that utilize virtual reality and simulation technology. - **Entertainment:** Creating immersive experiences that attract customers and increase revenue. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using virtual reality and alternate reality gaming to promote products or services in a unique and memorable way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive Halloween-Themed VR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-latency-vr.md) - [Immersive Horror Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyes-never-wake.md) - [VR Cooking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vr-cooking-game.md) - [Guided Challenge Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-controller.md) - [High-Motion VR Action Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attack-on-titan-vr-unbreakable.md) - [Action-Focused VR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skydance-behemoth.md) - [Virtual Reality Dance Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-dance-vr-welcome-to-dancity.md) - [Virtual Reality Gameplay Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/explorer.md) - [Virtual Reality Stealth Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hitman-world-of-assassination.md)
