Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality
The idea for Owlchemy Labs to work on a virtual reality video game for "Rick and Morty" came after series co-creator Justin Roiland invited the development team to his residence to play games. The first drafts of dialog were written by Owlchemy Labs and rough voice recordings by CEO Alex Schwartz were sent to Roiland as a template for the final performance.

On August 25, 2016, Roiland launched virtual reality studio "Squanchtendo", a portmanteau of the company Nintendo and "Rick and Morty" character Squanchy. It was later renamed to "Squanch Games". Its first full-length title, "Accounting+", made in collaboration with William Pugh's studio, will be released for PSVR on Dec. 19. In 2017, he, Alex Hirsch, and Ethan Klein raised over $200,000 for hurricane relief via Twitch live stream in which he prank called the Lakewood Church in Houston.
