Superior to PCVR version?

I've owned this title for 5 years over on Steam. I've used the PCVR version innumerable times and know the title extremely well. I'd also add that I've run the PCVR version with a few GPUs, my most recent being an RTX 4070, allowing me to max out the graphics settings. I initially held off buying this Quest port because I feared it was a 360 video; it is not. The Quest port was done in Unity and shockingly is rendered on the headset. That said, I suspect they are using some limited video, but it's difficult to tell (the game files are hidden in an obb file). What I will say is that much of the Quest port looks BETTER?!? Not everything, but some portions look much clearer than the PCVR version on max settings. Unfortunately, that's not true throughout the entire experience. The Quest version cuts down the "white cathedral" and "red cathedral" portions of the experience and these 2 sections really stand-out as the biggest downgrade. Also, the final section with the "angels" is changed--specifically the "angels" are rendered in lower detail. But shockingly, Ayahuasca's 2 stand-out graphic FX (the bird's eye & the angel's "rope") are done exceptionally well! I was gob-smacked the devs pulled those FX off on Quest--and they're rendered at a very high resolution and look absolutely stunning on Quest. Ayahuasca is a great experience and the Quest port looks phenomenal. Don't hesitate, pick it up.

Awful Graphics Like a Late-2000s Kids Ga

I really liked the idea of an ayahuasca trip simulator, but the execution is just terrible. The graphics are low quality with very basic 3D models and low-quality textures, and there are almost no immersive VR effects to create a real sense of presence. This isn’t a trip-friendly app — if anything, it feels like a bad trip simulator. And bad trips are highly personal, so trying to simulate one universally doesn’t make much sense. The issue is that the ‘bad trip’ just comes across as creepy, rather than reflecting the complexity of a real bad trip. That said, I’m not criticizing the idea of simulating a difficult experience — the problem is how poorly it’s done. The textures are extremely simple, almost like something from a kids game in the late 2000s. If you’re looking for a VR experience to use during a trip, this isn’t it. There’s actually a free app on the Meta Store with stunning modern visuals and immersive effects — and it’s completely free with no in-app purchases.

7 minutes of darkness was too long

It's cool but there are like 7 minutes where it's just utter darkness and not much to look at. I preferred Visionarium because it was more balanced.

Closer towards a VR spiritual experience

Maybe a niche product but a unique compelling one that I have returned to. Offering an unfolding visual experience accompanied by the authentic audio recordings of shamanic songs there's nothing else like this on the Quest or much else elsewhere. The VR is used to great effect in 3 dimensions in this linear experience. Slight warnings for the squeamish particularly for insects, spiders, and snakes. I would buy this again with a graphics update or remaster. But don't let perfectionism get in the way of a valuable journey. The translation at the end could also scroll a little more slowly or be manually scroll able. Great job - please remaster it - and definitely buy it if it's an area that speaks to you.
