An Emotional And Amazing Narrative Adven

First let me say that if you are not a fan of narrative story driven games than you probably won't be interested. It is a puzzle game yes but far more than that it is a story. As a lover of story based games and games that leave me thinking about the events after the game is over I love this game. It is exactly what I look for in a narrative game. Excellent voice acting, engaging story, lots of interesting extra story bits to discover, and just an overall pleasant experience. A couple of the puzzles had me stumped for a bit but in the end this is one of my favorite narrative games I've played in a while and definitely my favorite narative Quest game.

This game is not worth the money…

Me myself, I LOVE story games. I’ve bought so many that I bet most of my games on my oculus are story games. But this story game is VERY short. Definitely not worth the 20 dollars. I will say that the plot (until the end) is pretty good. Also the voice acting is really good too. The graphics definitely aren’t the best but manageable. I’m sorry to the creators if they read this but I don’t recommend this game. Unless the price goes down then this really isn’t a great game. Now if it was like 10 dollars then that would be different because this is a ten dollar game. I’m going to give this 3 stars because there are pros and cons, But I’m not going to recommend. Because I kinda regret spending 20 dollars on this game and don’t want others to waste there money. But This game had a good plot but just didn’t go well in the end and isn’t working for me I’m sorry but it’s the truth.

Narrative Puzzler I can’t recommend

🔥Full Walkthrough on which this review is based available by searching’Gamertag VR’ ‘ Vanishing Grace’🔥 Please be aware this may have some spoilers but I will do my best to avoid details. The game mechanics work great (no smooth turning), graphics and sounds were nice (great voice work) when it needed to be and the world itself I found pretty interesting. Being on a flying mobile home in the future and looking after that vehicle (even though this could of been made into something much more )while solving the story was pretty cool. The puzzles are ok, they rely on you not knowing how to work with the puzzle (tools needed, odd choices) before getting to actually solve the puzzle Unfortunately as the game played out over the 2-2.5 hours playtime my characters story and his decisions driving the story started to go in a moral direction I cannot agree with. As a player I was then forced to go along with it (like reading a book you don’t want too) if you want to finish the game which I did obviously. Now normally it shouldn’t bother me this much but my characters reasoning was beyond my thought process so I disliked who I was. Being in VR and playing a game as a character you don’t like is a strange experience in VR. Turns out one of the other main characters I also do not understand or agree with and when I got to the end of the game I felt like the story was a waste of my time. I’m completely gutted this is the case but felt 3 stars as correct as technically the game is fine if a bit expensive, I believe $10-12 would been much better and more people would just try the game rather than look for opinions.m

I feel like it had a lot of potential...

... But the creators must have decided that they just wanted to tell a story. Most of the game you are just standing in the space listening to people talking. Once in a while pushing a button to direct the conversation but not really having much to do with it. The story was about a woman who I guess wanted to go out and live on her own and a guy who's married and has kids but decides to go follow her. I hated both of these people. 😆 And every time I was given a choice of which way to go in the conversation, I'd roll my eyes because none of that is what I would say. The puzzles were pretty basic. And the mechanics were clunky. For example I would find something that I needed in one room, bring it to another room and put it down and then the game engine would make it disappear and put it back to an area near where I originally found it. Very irritating. Just let me move stuff around lol. That said, I really loved the idea of the machine that I was hovering around in. If more time was taken to really make it a good challenging game with great graphics (The graphics were decent but bland), And if you cut the scene change conversations down to like 30 seconds, I would consider playing it again.

Not for $20. Short,buggy,lost potential.

I am a big fan of story-driven games with puzzle elements, and I had hoped this game would be a strong contender. Unfortunately, this game was only so-so for me. Main issues were bugs (clipping, crashing), lack of real decisionmaking, and length (very short). It was so short in fact, I would have qualified for a return if I hadn’t crashed multiple times and had to replay several chapters from scratch. And given you can’t skip narration, if you get sent back to the beginning, you are sitting there waiting to hear the same narration all over again, go through the same wrote motions again, and generally waste time trying to get back to where you left off. Movement was fine except there were issues with clipping into objects if you moved too close, and when you tried to back up, you might end up across the room again. Sometimes just to open a drawer I would need to click five or six times, getting too close, too far, just past, in the table, oriented wrong, okay got it. Another reviewer mentioned that some of the stops along the way seemed like fun opportunities to explore, but they ended up being little to nothing to do. That was so right. Without spoilers, I can say that your chances to explore are limited, frustratingly tantalizing showing places you can’t go into, and your task when there is a simple “take this object, put it down over there.” Rinse, repeat. The story was fine, voice acting above average, the ending a little lackluster. Animation was good, not great. Concept held so much potential Not worth $20 IMO, I’d wait until there is a great sale or the price comes own. If this were closer to a $5-$10 game I might have rated it higher, but for $20, the value just isn’t there.
