Guardians of the best mixtape
Now it could be pure speculation, but I'm only left to assume this is a pun directed toward our beloved Guardians of the Galaxy.
Awkward times in the bathroom with Jerry
Unlock a monolog from Jerry and the "Love Hurts" achievement.
This was an achievement for Oculus and may not be an achievement on PS4
- Go to the bathroom and attempt to open the door.
- You'll hear Jerry give a lengthy speech.
- Get the hemorrhoid cream from under the sink
- Slide it under the door.
You'll hear Jerry trying to talk to you again when you try and leave the garage!
St. Gloopys medicine
Snap back to the "Temping Fate" episode of season 2 when our favorite duo talks about the galaxy's best hospital, St. Gloopy Noops. Well, you may never know what Rick is being treated for, but you can find his medication on the bench! Good LORD are those huge pills!
Finding the good family photos
Inside the bathroom, you can find two note-worthy pictures! Mr. Poopy-Butthole, who's sorry you never had a bad memory with him, and Snuffles, who probably promises to not try and take over the world again.
Real Fake Doors
Remember the "Rixty Minutes" episode from Season 1? The company "Real Fake Doors" (a real fake company) was advertised in this episode. This is relevant to the game because any of the rooms you can't access will always have the doorknob pop off in your hand. If you hold up the doorknob you'll see "Real Fake Doors" written on the tag!
Ooooh aprove!
Another reference from the "Rixty Minutes" episode, you can find a bottle of Baby Legs Baby Powder in the bathroom. Baby Legs the detective would be mighty proud of you for this find.
Plumbus ahoy
Under the computer board on Rick's workbench, you'll find a Plumbus. No matter how you pick it up or what you do with it, Rick's gonna call you and give you crap for not using it right. Furthermore, you can find the instruction manual for one on the shelf inside of a plastic sorter!
Jerryboree Form
In a direct reference from the Mortynight Run episode from Season 2, you can find a Jerryboree Form. It's located under the TV cabinet on the left side. Be sure to make sure your Jerrys are properly taken care of in your absence!
Using other life forms to fuel your basic needs
Nothing screams Rick quite more than the blatant disregard for any other form of life more than using that form of life to simple odds and ends. You know that device that allows you to recharge batteries? Does it remind you of the Ethically-Dubious Microverse creation unit?
Yup. You're using entire miniature worlds to power your gear!
Every reference found in the books

- Eyehole Man comic

Under the TV

This part is just a quick jab to the ribs showing you just how many Mortys you have watched die over the course of 10 seasons. Enjoy!
Mini-games
Troy: A Life Lived
In the Mortynight Run episode in season two Rick and Morty visit Blips and Chitz which is a popular arcade on the Chucina planet. While there Morty ends up playing a virtual reality simulator called "Roy: A Life Well Lived" where he lived the entire life of a man named Roy. Well, in Rick-ality you have the chance to play "Troy: A Life Lived" which is just a knock-off of the original game from the series.
You can find this game by flipping a switch behind the washing machine in the garage! The arcade game will replace the machines and all you have to do is put the headset on the top of the machine on to play! Due to the many choices you can make in this game, there's actually several endings for you to wind up in. So be sure to give if a whirl a few times!
Charge battery
Charging batteries in this title is a challenge in itself. This fun mini-game is available in the garage for you to use when it comes time to charge the batteries for your guns. As you can see in the video, the purple lights will come on to tell you what you need to do in terms of making the machine work correcttly. There was even a "Fully Charged" achievement if you were able to get your battery to 900.
I for one was not capible of this as that game just made me look like the gif above. It gets super difficult so let us know in the comment section below what your high score was! To get to this game, shrink yourself down with the battery lever on the worchbench!
This was an achievement for Oculus and may not be an achievement on PS4
Shoot Gromflomites
Get the real experience of feeling just as much of a monster as the real Morty felt in the pilot episode. One of the mini-games available gives you the chance to shoot at Gromflomites for a high score. Don't worry if they scream about their wife and children. Remember, they're just robots, Morty!
Endless fun
Honestly, there are hundreds of Easter Eggs in here refrencing something from an epsisode that has aired before. While I have listed the most obvious and note-worthy, there are still plenty more to fine. Both teams of developers have done such a spectacular job creating a game with this much immersiveness in it. Kudos! So now it's your turn, put on your PSVR headset and go know what it's like to live a day in the life of a Morty clone!
What are you most excited for? Or, if you're reading this after it's come out, what were your favorite Easter Eggs I didn't mention? Tell us in the comment section below!
