It's the newest craze in accounting! Virtual reality accounting!Accounting is a surrealist comedy VR game developed by Crows Crows Crows (a studio headed by William Pugh) and Squanch Games (a studio headed by Justin Roiland, and Tanya Watson.In it, you play... yourself, a new employee of the Smith & Smitherson accounting firm. After being yelled at by two gentlemen over the phone, you put on a VR headset and attempt to do some VR accounting. Things go rapidly downhill from there. You end up in a scenic forest rather than the accounting world you were supposed to be in. The tranquility is shattered by a very vulgar and very angry tree ghost... thing. He keeps swearing at you for no apparent reason other than "THIS IS MY PLACE". Then the guys call you on a random phone and... Well, if you've ever tried to listen to someone in real life and someone on the phone at the same time, you know how this goes.From there, it gets weirder and even more insane.It later received an Updated Re-release for PlayStation 4, named Accounting+.In severe need of Wiki Magic love. And some bleach for our eyeballs.

If you choose to throw the VR headset out of reach in the office, the phone guys quickly supply you with another one after giving you a quick warning about how these headsets are expensive, and that they only have two, so for the love of God, don't throw the next one. If you do throw that one, expect to be treated to a brief What the Hell, Hero? rant ending with a Cluster F-Bomb telling you to restart the game. This is averted entirely in the PS4 version, as important items simply respawn in a puff of smoke.

Easter Egg: If you spin the whiteboard at the end enough times rapidly (againist the advice of the writing on it) a face will appear and ramble about how VR Porn would be better if it was made with posable 3D models as opposed to just being a first person movie. Holding a stapler near your ear will cause it to sing a song.

Recursive Reality: You put on a VR helmet to play this game, where you find a VR helmet that you're instructed to put on to enter a virtual world. In the virtual world, there's another VR helmet. You end up in a virtual world inside a virtual world inside a virtual world inside... Exaggerated in the PS4 version, thanks to a secret level. In the forest level, you can plant the seed in the pot; when you return in that level from the police chase level, it'll have sprouted an apple that acts as VR goggles. They lead you into the "Biggest Fan" level, where the titular Fan is playing Accounting; you can then take his goggles and put them on yourself, which essentially leads you to restarting the game from the accounting office... aside from the Fan calling you several times in place of your employers.

Urban Legend of Zelda: Fans spent weeks trying to find a mysterious "Zoo Level" that the developers mentioned after the game's reveal at TGA. After the addition of the Water Park level, where a Conspiracy Theorist clown explains his wacky theory about how to access the Zoo Level, most people dismissed the whole thing as a prank by a Trolling Creator who knew that a certain subset of gamers would go nuts trying to solve the "mystery".

What the Hell, Player?: The court scene in a nutshell, when it's not being a Kangaroo Court. Tree Ghost is essentially made of this trope, criticizing the player for invading "[his] place" and eventually destroying it. The PS4 version adds a moment near the end, where one of the guys on the phone will chew you out for every life you ruined during the game.

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The PC version was clearly built for the HTC Vive wands. It can be played with other controllers, but in-game prompts will only display controls for the Vive. This wouldn't be so bad except that the Vive and the Windows Mixed Reality controllers are the only VR controllers that uses track pads instead of control sticks (the Index also has trackpads, albeit smaller ones), meaning that most options in-game are accomplished by holding a stick in a particular direction and clicking down on it.

Developer's Foresight: The game is developed by the same people who did The Stanley Parable, so this is pretty much a given. If you choose to take your time with finding the VHS tape in the office, the phone guys will grow increasingly aggravated with you, cussing you out at pretty much every opportunity they can. If you choose to throw the VR headset out of reach in the office, the phone guys quickly supply you with another one after giving you a quick warning about how these headsets are expensive, and that they only have two, so for the love of God, don't throw the next one. If you do throw that one, expect to be treated to a brief What the Hell, Hero? rant ending with a Cluster F-Bomb telling you to restart the game. This is averted entirely in the PS4 version, as important items simply respawn in a puff of smoke. In the courtroom, you can throw your Little Public Defender at either the Judge or the Jury, prompting two separate monologues from the Judge for each occurance.
