Polyraw Development

Settle into your little boat and let the world slow down as you drift along a tranquil river winding through vibrant forests, rocky cliffs, and peaceful mountain scenery. This new chapter builds on the beloved relaxing-river experience that introduced many players to calm, meditative VR journeys—now completely remastered for modern hardware with richer environments and gentle optional interactions.

Your ride remains fully guided and effortless: just sit back and immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere as nature surrounds you. Watch fish glide beneath the water’s surface, observe wildlife along the riverbanks, and, if you wish, toss a bit of food into the water and see curious fish gather around your boat.

Whether you’re looking to unwind, enjoy a mindful break, or introduce someone to a serene first moment in VR, this soothing river ride is crafted to help you relax—no menus, no stress, just pure quiet beauty.

beautiful relaxing app!

I am a big fan of all polyraw apps and have 4 to date. This river experience is about 35 minutes long and beautiful scenery and the ability to interact with some things. My only cons to this is that the day choice is actually sunset and I wish it were earlier in the day and sunnier. And the gloves don't work right. couldn't choose the black option and they kind of float around on their own which is distracting. But otherwise -- I totally love both your river apps!!! Would try any apps you guys develop!

Fantastic, but please to the developers:

River 2 for Oculus is a beautiful and relaxing experience. The music and ambience are excellent, and the transparency of the water looks amazing. The underwater sculptures and fish are wonderfully done and create a very immersive atmosphere. The whole experience has great potential and many moments feel almost magical. I love that it's 35 minutes long!! That said, there are a few issues that should really be fixed: Sometimes the rendering gets stuck, so you suddenly see half a castle, a tree, or scenery forming right in front of your eyes. It breaks the immersion quite a bit. Please fix the running horses. Right now they do not move naturally — they stop abruptly, almost like they have brakes from a car. If fixing the animation is too difficult, maybe it would be better to simply make them walk slowly over a bridge or near the river, where the movement would feel more believable and less distracting. There is also a bull after the first curve of the river that walks at a strange 60-degree angle. It looks unnatural and should be corrected. Now for the future: I would absolutely be willing to buy River 3 if you expand the atmosphere even more. A shiny sunny-day version would be incredible: jaguars sleeping on tree branches, elephants walking where the horses currently are, parrots flying around, peacocks near the shore… it could become something truly wonderful and unforgettable. A rainy-day version would also be fantastic. If rain effects are difficult to implement, you could add a small cabin to the boat or even a simple metal roof above the passengers’ heads to create the feeling of shelter during the storm. Thank you for creating such a beautiful experience, and I hope to see River continue to grow and improve.

Ride was too dark

It was entirely too dark for me during the most part of the ride. But it was very relaxing with some really cool different features added. Sorry.. but perhaps you can make it a bit brighter so that we can see the beauty of everything
