Plesantly surprised

Honestly its just nice to see a studio try something different. I love when someone tries something new and doesn't just fit some mold. Well I was really surprised with this one. The mood is slightly gritty and dark but still keeps it light. The story grabs you quickly. Ive completed a few levels so far and I am looking forward to jumping back in:) A few little flaws in the game but honestly nothing breaking. Art, sound, story, performances etc are all really nice and beautiful. If your looking for something different to the usual same old out there then definitely give this one a try.

It's a befuddling game

The issues with this game can be divided into two categories: Dialogue and mechanics. The mechanics are unpolished, grabbing objects results in strange anchor positions, and it's just a fist hovering beside the hammer. Walking up a flight of stairs results in a jarring step up that's not smooth at all. And when picking up objects and then releasing them, they blink back to their original place. There's no stacking or arranging things. It's big in scope but poorly executed. Regarding the dialogue, I understand this is a play on Carl Yung, the shadow, etc. It's fitting that it should be told from the perspective of a child. But it's read by a grown woman, with sentences that belong in the likes of Blues Clues. And the inflection is pretty jarring. Between the words spoken, the moments at which they're summoned, and the way they're delivered, it all adds up to an almost Jessica Rabbit sound bite, often even resembling Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. It's a suggestive, strange and bizarre delivery to what's supposed to be an audience of 7 year olds, based on what's being spoken. But it's all the more baffling that that demographic isn't even allowed to have an account. What you're left with is the appearance of a little girl speaking with an overtly mature and ditsy inflection to an audience of adults listening to stories about a child in a bedroom, sneaking downstairs to steal berries, and telling you to keep a secret otherwise Daddy will discipline her. It's all very strange.

Beautifully imagined and playful

Selina is a delightful journey and a fun puzzler, it’s got immersive visuals, a great movement mechanic, and plenty of game. It felt easy to jump in between sessions without losing the thread, so you can take it at your own pace. You don’t get games from this characters perspective so that’s really refreshing too.

6 Months Into VR, a Game Stole My Heart

I’ve been exploring VR for about 6 months now, and while I’m not a fan of shooters, I absolutely love puzzle games and creative uses of virtual reality — and Selina - Mind at Large delivers exactly that. I played Selina on the Meta Quest 3, and it’s honestly one of the most memorable VR games I’ve experienced. The core mechanic is super innovative — you can tilt the entire world by 90 degrees, which changes not only your view but also the physics and gravity. It makes for some really creative puzzles and moments where you feel like you're bending reality itself. But what truly makes this game special is the story. You step into the world of Selina, a young girl struggling with deep trauma and fear after being forced away from home by dark forces. The shifting world reflects her inner turmoil, and as you explore and solve puzzles, you feel like you’re helping her piece herself back together. The environments are beautifully crafted, and the whole experience feels incredibly immersive on the Quest 3. One small downside for me was the background music — it didn’t really stick with me or enhance the experience as much as I’d hoped. But honestly, that’s a minor thing compared to how powerful the rest of the game is. It’s actually feels not just like a game — it’s an emotional journey that sticks with you long after you take the headset off. If you’re looking for something unique, thoughtful, and visually stunning, I can’t recommend this enough.

Beautifully designed Puzzle Game

This game is different from other Puzzle games. It has physics-based water puzzles which might seem easy, but the more you advance the tricker they get. I haven’t found the game to be repetitive. It is beautifully designed and you also get a very good soundtrack. I haven’t completed the game yet, but I am not rushing through it either as I like to take it all in. Though, I must say that I am not a fan of the voice acting. It feels like you are watching a children’s tv show, but it hasn’t ruined my experience either and I am invested in her story. I personally enjoy this game and think it is worth it.
