Great concept, fun, room for improvement

This is a fun, addictive little game. It's definitely worth the price to support the developers. It's neat to be thrown into a foreign location and try to figure out where you are just by examining the things around you. That said, I hope the developers are continuing to work on this because it has a lot more potential. Here are some thoughts/issues I had: - The controls aren't the most intuitive, and navigating can be a bit tricky. For example, moving on the map is challenging if you don't initially zoom in on the location you wanted. It might be easier if one thumbstick controlled the zoom and the other let you move up/down/left/right. Also, it would be nice to hit a controller button to make the map appear instead of having to click something in VR. I'd suggest checking out Wander to see how their controls are set up, because that feels more intuitive. - The locations repeat too often. Eventually it becomes a game of "what do you remember?" instead of, "can you figure out where this is?" because the same places keep coming up, which ruins the fun. It would be nice to add a LOT more locations and save the "seen places" so they don't repeat. - Multiplayer (synchronous) would be an awesome idea - Let two people see the same location and each make a choice, then keep track of their scores to see who wins. For people with two headsets, it would be a great way to introduce beginners to VR. I hope this app keeps updating, because with the limited number of places it loses its fun after a while.

It this abandoned?

I haven't been able to get this to launch on my Quest 2 or 3. It hasn't worked in quite some time. I also haven't seen updates or anything in awhile. Has this been abandoned by the developer?

Good potential. Needs a bit of work.

This has some really solid potential, but navigating the streets needs a major overhaul to make it "playable". As it stands now, moving around in the world is a slow and cumbersome process that needs speeding up and streamlining. The current navigational tools just don't cut it. In the end I stuck it out to make informed guesses about the last couple of places just by sheer "I refuse to give up" tenacity, because moving around was such a hassle and it took forever to get anywhere. If this aspect of the experience would be improved, it would be a tremendous plus for Somewhere. The potential for fun is clearly there - It just needs some work on the "getting around" bit. Looking forward to raising the star rating when it doesn't take 10 minutes to walk down a couple of streets. Edit: I was wondering if my 3 star rating was possibly a bit harsh, given the other 5 and 4 star ratings, so I gave it another serious try for a few places more and afterwards ended up lowered my rating to 2 stars instead. The navigation is really atrociously bad. It's a shame, because the underlying idea is very good.

Rough diamond

I love it, but in dire need of UI tweaking. My neck and my wrist hurt from the constant downward bending because the movement arrow is at your feet. Moreover, you can only move one frame at a time, which makes exploring a long, excruciating and uncomfortable process.

Few tweaks required.. but...

This could be really good. The same locations keep popping up, and would be better if the interface opens and closes with a button.. so user sees only location till they bring map . Final thing, but i feel most important, why cant user have uption to turn with controller. Without that its not really a sitting game. StuTheBlueUK
