A Peaceful Little World on My Desk

I played Vivarium on my meta quest headset, and it honestly blew me away. It’s such a peaceful, feel-good experience—building my own little world and watching it come to life was surprisingly calming. The mixed reality mode is a real highlight. Seeing my terrarium on my real desk made it feel like a tiny, living universe right in front of me. If you have a meta quest and want something relaxing and creative, this is 100% worth checking out.

Good Concept

I love the concept and atmosphere. but the user experience journey is somewhat frustrating. I can’t move it or keep it once positioned item anymore even though I’ve told that I can do in tutorial. You need to press left trigger to pass tutorial message and it was not mentioned. Tutorial comes up randomly after I skip it and in the middle of building my own vivarium. Equipments like spray is hanging in the space after using it, there is no way I can stash in my item bag. and interaction animation with those items is not natural.

It's like a second home!

I have been lucky to be a part of this game's amazing journey and development as a tester and player on Pico and now Quest! There really are no words for how relaxing, fun and immersive Vivarium has been for me through emotionally tough times in my life so far. And I expect that to continue! With the release to Quest, the game just got a huge update with Aquariums alongside the diverse variety of Vivariums! I love building naturally creative environments with the items, plants and animals so having access to a whole host of new sea life is awesome! Developers continue to support the game with a roadmap of brilliant new additions so I'm excited for what's to come! Thank you for bringing to life such a brilliant experience in VR ❤️ If you don't have this in your game library fellow VR enthusiasts then definitely get it right now!

Stress Relief

This is not the type of game I normally play so when I joined the test groups I figured I would just do the bare minimum to leave some feedback. Once I started building my tanks time flew by and the stress of life would melt away. I really enjoy coming up with new designs and the calming effect it produces.
