Exactly what I want from a VR title!

There is so much great voice acting and story here. I loved the environment design, the attention to details on the sets, and the pacing of the story. I felt like I was the star in my own personal horror movie! It starts out a bit slow and gets so good as it goes (like any great horror movie). I highly recommend you come into this game prepared to play it with hand tracking. There are so many moments that are made better by the hand tracking mode! This is the first time I’ve seen it used to such great effect. I am a fan of “walking simulator” style games with heavy story and minimal gameplay. This game has a few mild puzzles, but nothing annoying. Just enough to give you a quick “ah ha!” moment and move on. I hope Meta choose to add this one to the main store so more people will see it. It feels like a waste that it’s on app lab where less people will discover it. I’m biased because it’s exactly what I wanted, but I am certain there are others out there that have been waiting for something like this. I really like that the developers don’t crank up jump scares. There are SLIGHT startle moments but all but the biggest chickens will be able to complete this no problem. The horror here is more existential. I wish more horror devs would take notes on this game, because jump scares in VR are hard for me to handle, and I’m a die hard horror fan. Speaking of existential horror, the ending hit different. It will leave you thinking about it afterwards, and possibly not in a good way. I like it! Despite me giving 5 stars, I have a few issues with the game that I wanted to mention. Sometimes the line delivery changes tone. Like for example our protagonist might be extremely panicked, then a second later you teleport and she is completely fine. Obviously the devs can’t control how long you wait between those nodes, so I won’t knock them for that too much. HOWEVER, I will complain a bit that a lot of my favorite moments are in the trailer. Like the bit with the snake, or the saw, etc. I get it though, you gotta sell copies and show the cool stuff. My last complaint is sometimes the story would outright tell me things that were obvious. I felt like the writers were afraid the user wouldn’t pick up the information, so they spell it out. I knock that in films sometimes too so I gotta mention it here. I wanted to finish this review by saying PLEASE immediately make something else like this. VR desperately needs more Firewatch-style walking simulators. Thanks for making this! PS: release this on Steam too you cowards! ;) I wanna buy it again and play it at higher resolution.

A Point & Click Adventure

The game is interesting so far, but be warned: this isn’t an immersive VR game despite being rendered in 3D with limited ability to move in 6DOF. It plays pretty much exactly like an old school point & click adventure game, but instead of using a mouse and keyboard, you use hand gestures. While you can move a little, if you stray too far from the center of the play space you’ll trigger a message instructing you to step back to the canter marked by foot prints. I’ve run into one instance where the controls weren’t explained. Eventually I figured out that to use an item on something in the distance, you have to make a throwing motion even though that’s not how you’d actually use the object. The graphics are nice, the voice overs are professional, and while I don’t think the game intends you to do this, so far I have been able to get away with using natural turning which gives it a little more VR immersion. The hand tracking works well. Unfortunately I think it would have been a much better, and far more immersive, game if it had used standard VR controls and locomotion in room scale. This is a taste of what VR games could be like on Apple’s headset. Despite the powerful hand tracking technology, it’s a big step backwards in immersion and playability. Four stars if you’re Ok with playing a point and click adventure on a VR headset. Avoid it if you’re not.

Great story. Wish it was longer

I enjoyed the experience a great deal. I do wish there were more gaming elements in it. Easily would pay double the price for that! It seems kind of a waste to have such a cool story concept wrapped up in 2 hours. I’ve played longer games with far less story to drive things. But yes, recommended. (Bumping to 5 stars cuz my 4star rating decreased rating from 4.8 to 4.7 and I don’t want that)

Amazing atmosphere, Great art style, beautiful music, interesting story, fun gameplay all for a really low price 10/10, I recommend this game completely
