Spirit Realm (2017)

"Spirit Realm" is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this "art experience". Instead of being a game, "Spirit Realm" is a software application that presents a poorly made YouTube video. The video "experience" you here is a garbage tier Youtube Video for VR that will guaranteed give you less appreciation for "art" and more motion sickness than anything else. You pretty much have to be on drugs for this. I don't know what kind of drugs you need to take to think it's okay to publish non-game garbage like this on Steam. We get this non-game shovelware on Steam whenever film school dropouts are desperate for anyone to give them validation, so they publish their short film on Steam because nobody watches their garbage on Youtube. There was a video section on Steam, but it's deprecated and basically closed, so failed filmmakers seem to just try to abuse the Steam games section instead. Why is this good for gamers? It's not. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a rand…

Игра «Spirit Realm» — это атмосферный приключенческий проект с уникальной механикой. Погружение в мистический мир, где игрок исследует локации, решает головоломки и взаимодействует с духами, доставляет удовольствие. Графика стильная, музыка атмосферная, а сюжет заставляет задуматься о смысле жизни. Однако геймплей местами запутан, а некоторые уровни требуют времени на освоение. В целом — рекомендую для любителей медленного, но глубокого погружения.

Great concept, seems to be designed to be viewed while laying down, Idk seems wierd to have everything spinning around you and the text turning circles seems a bit disorienting. There is more variety then what some of the negative reviews would make you think. It is mostly a loop, but there is a bit of randomness too it just not enough in my opinion. A really cool experience and it's free.

Bad trip. This is about five minutes of some pretty intense visuals. I usually like that sort of thing but I didn't find these appealing.
