What began as an innovative pilot project for the Anatomy department has now become a VRBR-PR scandal. After launching their new Google cardboard-compatible Virtual Reality Battle Royale Bell-Ringer app for 2nd Year Anatomy students, the department has been bombarded with reports of students getting stuck in the simulation.
Only one student has been able to escape thus far. The student reported logging onto the application for the first time and being welcomed by a deep voice, explaining that the only way to escape the simulation was by beating all 12 levels of the bell-ringers. Those who performed poorly on the simulation or forcibly removed their cardboard would suffer real-life deaths.
So far, this threat has only been exhibited through the cardboard exposing the students to atropine, leaving them in comas that will be sure to lead to many exciting academic papers. The phenomenon was unnoticed for some time as onlookers believed that going comatose was natural for students studying anatomy.
The TAs are “flabbergasted” at how no other students have been able to pass all 12 levels of the app yet, even with their lives on the line. Reportedly, most of them are failing at Lab 0: Safety and Respect; experts from the prestigious panel at Mac Confessions believe that this is due to the students’ natural habit of picking random answers “instead of just buckling down and going to watch the video.”
The majority of the cohort seems to have been unaffected, however; a recent poll has shown that most second years “never bothered to download that thing.” The few iBiomeds that did download the app were only able to escape using their engineering prowess.
Upon hearing the news, Dr. Mike Wong promptly returned from Wisconsin. The ex- Pokemon Master has since been seen around campus jumping for joy and screaming, “Sword Art Online! It’s finally happening!”
The department itself was unavailable for comment.
In other news, the lab has seen an uptick in cadavers.
