Yes, episode 1 is a truly engaging VR experience. With a story that wants to be told. Sadly it is is not. One and a half years after launching this so called Episode 1 we have not heard anything about a followup. Which ultimately puts this in the category of 'VR tech demos'. Very nicely executed, also seems to have picked up some prices. Thumbs down for making this payware when it is only a demo.

One of the best photogrammetry experiences. Very good thought-provoking story as well. A gem - obviously producted with a large budget and a highly educated team.

I do not get the story. There seems to be no episode 2 in the making or even planned. Since this Episode is released in 2018, I do not expect another release. If this would be a free VR experience I would vote thumbs up, but since it is paid and more a demo then a game or story, I will not recommend to stay awake for this one:)

I love this, nicely done, I wish they would come out with more VR apps like this one. Most of the VR apps seem to be geared towards the teen population, I am over 50, and this is so refreshing for me, keep up the good work.

Very strange VR experience. Bought this game when steam VR test started for a nice 90% discount and am a bit confused. The game is quite depressing but a very cool game. I had no idea what to expect all I knew was it was a story game with nice graphics that’s VR. The game is made by screen Australia (correct if wrong) and is a story about a couple that’s life falls apart when the husband starts losing connection with dreams and reality. I had a break and might continue but for the nice price of $1 it’s a cool experience. The graphics are very interesting and something I haven’t seen before. It’s very immersive and all the people in the game look creepy but very real. Definetly worth giving a go!
