[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] This is about a 12 minute mostly artistic experience with some basic interactions. It is a diatribe about climate change. I guess it's really more about how climate change has made some of us full of solemn contemplation. We know this impending disaster will happen, but also realize that it's probably too late to change human behavior in any worthwhile manner. Changes could have been made maybe a decade ago, but it's too late now. Believe it or not, the experience is not preachy at all. It's poetic. It's minimalist. It's trippy. It's more art than science (but still based on the science). It's a vibe. I enjoyed it, but fully realize this is very niche and probably not many will appreciate it. In fact, some may deny it or just write a negative review because their cult leader told them so. I think it's important. If nothing else, I think this art installment perfectly encapsulates the mood of facing these cold, hard facts. It's data driven, but with a humanistic reaction. "Game" is running on the Unity Engine. Game ran perfectly fine on my RTX 3080. You have full locomotion and snap turning available, standing or seated position. Final…

Remarkable experience that broaches climate change from the personal perspective. The narration tone is perfect and the models/environment stunning. The symbolic, pictographic wall art is a great subtle detail. Navigation on my Rift S was a bit tricky (right controller stayed rogue), but worked great on my linked Quest 2.
