Shores of Loci is the debut VR title from MikeTeevee, a women-led production company founded in 2011 and based between Los Angeles and Amsterdam. The game was developed by a team of just five people, designed entirely inside a Meta Quest 2 headset during the pandemic, and released in Early Access on App Lab and SteamVR in May 2022 before its full Quest store launch in November 2022. It holds a 91% positive rating on Steam (46 reviews) and was described by UploadVR as a game that left them "enraptured."

The puzzle mechanic is best understood as a fantastical, imagined version of Puzzling Places. Rather than assembling scanned real-world locations, you piece together invented dioramas of giants' worlds — magical landscapes of hills, roads, rivers, and structures split into irregular terrain pieces that must be matched and assembled by shape, colour, and environmental logic. There are no blueprint guides; you observe each piece and infer where it belongs from the visual details of the terrain. When all pieces snap together, the completed world comes to life with characters, weather, and ambient sound.
