Isle of the Dead

Not worth the price. As much as I appreciate artistic games, there is no interaction in this one, it is absolutely terribly laggy/not optimized. On top of that, the textures were low-quality, the sound too quiet and too loud at different moments, there were no settings accessible, no instruction telling you there is no interaction so if you press a button the game stops. It would not have felt like a rip-off at least if it were free. Go try "Dreams of Dali" instead, it is free, and as an artistic VR game, thousands times better than this one.

The VR art experience Isle of the Dead takes its point of referrence in the famous painting of the same name by the Swiss Symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin (1827–1901) combined with the symphonic poem of the same name by the russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) inspired by a black and white reproduction of said artwork. There isnt really much to say about it execept its a short journey that begins in a living room that starts falling into pieces and then sets you out on a boat trip reminescent to the mythos of the tale of charon (the ferryman) carrying you to your final destination on the isle of dead. Personally i allways liked the Böcklin painting and for that matter also likes some of Rachmaninoffs music so i think if any potential buyers has an interest in those two legendary artists this could very well be a good buy for them to make. Its well made and its nice to be inserted into a living version of Böcklins famous painting. The price is a bit steep though compared to the length of the experience as it only last around 10 minutes so i'd recommend picking it up in a sale..

Unfortunatelly doesn't even start. Crashes with a timeout exception...

It's a short film, which tries to be deep, but it doesn't actually have any depth or a captivating story. The only thing I would use it for is to show someone what virtual reality is, since you don't have to do anything and there are a few interesting effects.

Looks good, but runs really badly on a radeon 5700XT. Also freezes and resets to the menu at random moments, so I haven't been able to finish the experience. Also uses an insane amount of memory (6+ GB), so that also may be a problem
