Quantum Void

I'm too cool to use "punk" as an adjective. I hate that term, but I loved this game. And, well, this game is CRT-punk. It's thick with 1980's tech atmosphere: CRT monitors on all interfaces, 30x16 chunky fonts, C1541 drive noises, modem handshakes, clattery mechanical IBM-PS2 keyboards. If you know you very know, it's like in my DNA or something. And my account here is older than most people on Steam. Enough said about that, now get off my lawn. Now, this is a game built for VR first and foremost (so if you have one I bet it's a real treat) but is perfectly playable with mouse/keyboard. However, the devs have so dedicated themselves to the VR interface, so completely given themselves over to their CRT paradigm, that the menus are clumsy to use with keyboard/mouse. You might view that as a negative, but cripes, maaaaan (or womaaaaan, or other noun as appropriate) I grew up with interfaces worse than this. I wrote code with EDLIN, for crying out loud! It's a small price to pay and it's way better than stuff I've actually used. Get around the intentionally clunky interface, what you have is a game that's mostly about exploration. Explore a desolate alien solar system, fl…

I've never stopped playing a game to write a review before, but after 20 minutes here I am. I loooove this game. It perfectly captures an Alien meets 2001 vibe with its atmosphere and environments. I even love that it asked me for my ID (my name) and now it relates to me like I am a part of this world. I also love that I have no idea what is about to happen next. I was smiling non-stop through the whole first chapter. I heard about this game through a YouTube review and saw the reviews on the store page were also great. So far I am elated and I don't see how it can fail, honestly. And I got it $12! It's already better than 90% of the hundreds of VR games i have played. Ok, going back in...amazing job!

An absolutely delightful experience! A tremendously impressive game given it's basically all by the same guy with just a few others pitching in for music and design. It was a fun, engaging story with decent game play the entire way through, and unlike most indie games it was strongest in the back half. If you like space/scifi experience/puzzle games with a sprinkle of metroidvania elements, give this game a chance, you'll probably love it.

Thoroughly enjoying this so far. Recommended.

This game is a real VR hidden gem. Right away the atmosphere got me, I can't wait to play more of it.

Pour un jeu fait par un seul développeur indépendant sans IA (comme dit fièrement sur l'écran titre, et il a bien raison !), c'est vraiment une chouette découverte. Au niveau des performances c'est très bien optimisé et il tourne sans problème sur ma modeste config. L'histoire est classique mais reste intéressante et bien amenée. L'alternance entre la navigation du vaisseau et les séquences à pied se fait naturellement et offre une variété intéressante. J'aime aussi les interfaces des systèmes et comment on intéragit naturellement avec elles sans rupture de rythme. J'ai juste un peu de mal avec le pad recommandé pour lequel je souffre durant les phases de combat, aussi pour cette partie là uniquement je bascule en combo clavier/souris histoire de ne pas mourir ridiculement sous l'asseau de trois araignées. J'ai noté un bug pour l'instant : un secteur est annoncé comme ayant un échantillon (la ceinture d'astéroïdes) or en basculant sur chacun des trois emplacements du secteur, je ne vois aucune indication pour retrouver celui-ci. Je ne suis qu'au début de l'aventure - tout du moins j'imagine car je n'ai encore trouvé que deux vaisseaux, dont seulement deux morceaux du premier, m…
