✦ AI summary

Players praise this cosmic horror walking simulator for its exceptional hand-tracking implementation on Meta Quest 3 and immersive Lovecraftian storytelling, though the experience is quite short at around 90 minutes with minimal puzzle-solving. The main complaints center on its brevity, linear nature lacking interactivity, and significant technical issues on PC/Steam VR, with many reporting hand-tracking doesn't function properly outside of Meta's native platform and some unable to launch the game at all.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/JS2FS3MZ3X8 This is bar-none the best hand-tracking experience in VR. It's also one of the best walking simulators in VR. The biggest criticism I have of the game is that it's not very long. It took me about 98 minutes to complete the game. However, it's a well-told and well-paced cosmic horror / body horror narrative-driven experience. What makes this game special is the very smart use of hand-tracking. WARNING: I believe hand-tracking only works on the Meta Quest 3. I can only confirm it works using link cable. The hand-tracking here is not a gimmick, but an essential part of the story and gameplay that further immerses into the narrative. The other criticism I have of the game is that the snap turning with the thumb pointing left or right is rather cumbersome, because the degree of turn is so small. Other than that though, the hand-tracking interactions are mostly very immersive. It's the shining example of what is possible with hand-tracking. If you're a VR veteran like me, this is a must play which shows the path forward for other game devs on what is possible. T…

This game only supports the Meta HMDs atm. It's a more a "visual" book than a real game. But it's very lovecraftian and I am a sucker for cosmic horror. I was entertained and the overall story made it very... well I won't spoil anything.

7/10 Very Linear, An Hour and a half length novel story telling. it builds up nicely to a 'gripping' climax ... then a cliffhanger ending ... the Good, Nice voice over, plain but clean graphics & BGM. the Bad, its seems to be a straight meta Quest Port with no extra PC options, Just wished it had, Super Sampling options. the Ugly, using Quest 3, the VD streamer, Steam link just doesn't work. have to use 'Air Link', and then still can't get 'hand motion' working. but as it's a gimmick hand gesture, sticking with controller works well. Overall, nice and short, a weekend movie. worth it at sale.

Very basic walking simulator with pre determined staged teleport steps leading you forward. I was hoping for a point and click puzzle element but the rudimentary click on highlighted item that appears at point needed didn't get me using any solving skills so I was left disappointed. Giving a positive as walking sim die hards may enjoy the audio story that follows you. All done in just over an hour.

game does not work on steam vr. I have a quest 3. Cannot get past language select menu. I have read this is a bad port from meta OS. Buy this on metas store and play it from there! I will try and refund this.
