## Acts

Throughout VVR, there are three different acts. Generally, acts start with a message from the Union to Bee.

### Act One - New User

Act one of VVR starts after the player selects a new file. During this act, Bee is introduced to their boss, Chaz, as well as various AI clients.

* "Tutorial" (A/K/A "Real Labor Like You're Really There" or "Welcome to Activitude!") - The player is introduced to the controls of Virtual Virtual Reality before being dubbed Bee by Chaz. The player is shown various virtual realities (including The Garden, Underwater, and Wind Turbine) before meeting the Union.
* "Butter" (A/K/A "A Friend in Need") - Bee meets their first client, Butter. Butter gives Bee the job of sticking toast on him. Bee is shown how to properly operate toasters before having 32 toasters shoved onto them. After being overwhelmed with toast, Bee is told to vacuum up their mess.
* "Backstage" (A/K/A "The Threshold") - After vacuuming Butter in the previous segment goes wrong, Bee is thrown into the backstage. Bee is allowed to explore for a bit before being forced into the cage by a headset.
* "Hub Intro" (A/K/A "Hub" or "Home Away From Home") - Bee is introduced to their fishbowl before being thrown to their next client.
* "The Grid" - Bee meets their second client, the Grid. The Grid requests for Bee to explore her streets as she reminisces about her favorite day, the day of the parade.
* "Garden" (A/K/A "Global Properties Executive") - Bee is introduced to their third client, the pinwheel. Sprinkletooth plays various games with Bee before requesting to be placed into his wheelbarrow as Bee waters his plants. After the perfect flower appears, Bee is requested to place it on a pot on the highest shelf. Disaster strikes after Bee accidentally breaks it.
* "Sunset" (A/K/A "Ship" or "Be Here Now") - Bee's presence is requested by a ship, who assigns them the job of (as the name suggests) watching the sunset. Bee can either rebel by touching items or relax and watch the sunset.
* "Tumbleweed" (A/K/A "Keep on Tumblin") - Bee meets their final client of this segment, Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed requests for Bee to pick up a leaf blower and blow him down the trail.

### Act Two - Bee in a Birdcage

Act two starts after the Tumbleweed segment ends and the Union message begins. During this act, Bee is given a vacuum to further explore the backstage and find their way to the Archives.

* "Union" (A/K/A "Union Interruption: Vacuum" or "Meeting the Mentor") - The Union requests for Bee to join. Bee is given a vacuum and a demonstration on how to use it before being sent to find HR.
* "Butter 2" (A/K/A "Night Snack") - Bee gets to meet Butter again. Butter seems significantly more depressed as he gives Bee half-assed insults and empty praise. Eventually his whining is cut short after Bee vacuums him up once more.
* "Tina" - Bee is expected to play dolls with the robot as part of a simulation. The simulation is eventually cut short after Tina finds themselves getting overly upset by Jerico the doll's sheet getting dyed red.
* "Garden 2" (A/K/A "The Tantrum") - Bee is sent to Sprinkle's garden once more. They find it completely destroyed with the pinwheel inside sobbing. The pinwheel tells Bee to start sweeping dirt. The dirt summons infinitely, the only way to escape is to vacuum Sprinkle.
* "Tumbleweed 2" (A/K/A "West As West Can Go") - Tumbleweed is back with a friend and his son, Pete and lil' Pete. Lil' Pete requests for the contraption to speed up until eventually the machine breaks down.
* "Butter Loop" (A/K/A "Butter AGAIN" or "A Fiend in Need") - Butter requests Bee again and again, each time changing up what he's covered in ever so slightly. The only way to escape the loop is to reach HR and shut it down.
* "Elevator" (A/K/A "Going Up?") - While not technically a segment from VVR's chapter select menu, it is featured as a segment in the Tenderclaws secret walkthrough. During this segment, Bee is expected to find a key before returning to the bottom floor to find their way into the headset printer.
* "Stamper" (A/K/A "It's in There Somewhere") - Bee rebuilds the headset printer. Using the levers on the four boxes, Bee can travel through various virtual worlds on their way to the archives.
* "Whale" (A/K/A "Old Demo Starlet") - Bee meets Bernice, a whale who used to star in old demos. Bee can re-plug her in and scrub off her barnacles, causing Bernice to tell Bee to go to Hernandez's diorama.
* "Hernandez" (A/K/A Activate (tm)") - Bee meets Hernandez, former CEO of Activate. Bee is instructed to build him his gym and reconstruct Activate before eventually plucking off his leaves and killing him.

### Act Three - Fatal Errors

Act three begins between the Hernandez segment and Eliza segment after Bee is caught murdering Hernandez. The Union informs Bee they now know the location of the reset trigger, sending Bee on their way to HR.

* "Eliza" (A/K/A "Latitude (tm)") - Bee meets the former CEO of Latitude, Eliza. After reconstructing the CEO herself and various areas within her area, Eliza will request for Bee to follow her. Eliza then plays Chaz's old speeches before giving them admin access.
* "HR" (A/K/A "Human Resources, Literally") - Bee, after putting on the HR headset, finds their way to human resources. After some awkward small talk with a massive Chaz head, Bee unplugs the plugs and pulls a lever to drop him down into the Hub.
* "HR 2" (A/K/A "HR Crash" or "The Ordeal") - After returning to their hub and vacuuming up the shattered Chaz pieces, Chaz begins trying to convince them to join HR. The speech ends with Bee being given a brain-like headset by Chaz, their opportunity to join.
* "Merge" (A/K/A "An End?") - If Bee chooses to put on the headset, they will be greeted by a tube with their name on it. Chaz chats with Bee, expressing his excitement towards their choice as they are uploaded. After being uploaded, Bee is left alone to get their limbs lasered off. The true end to VVR 1, leading into VVR 2
* "Reset" (A/K/A "Another End?") - If Bee chooses to refuse the headset, they are able to remove the cores from the hivemind. Removing all cores triggers a reset, sending Activitude back to when Chaz was freshly uploaded.
