Brainland

⠀

If they had charged money for this, I definitely would have given it a negative review. There are 6 mini-experiences. They are mostly gaze-based point and click type, very simple experiences. I think the scales are wrong plus the positioning is wrong for most of these. You do have an art one where you just move these two brushes in a trippy environment. It's running on the Unity engine and has English translations. Took me about 6 minutes to do them all. I can't say it was worth the time or download, but it was free. [u]Neutral recommendation.[/u]

Brainland is a free VR game, that is supposed to be educational. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok, was understandable. Some of the rooms put me floating on the ceiling. I don't see this program worth downloading even for free. Was it a coding school project? Try it or not, that is the question.

I spent about seven minutes "playing" this and don't see a need to return. Admittedly I am not the target audience. Seems this was meant to be a tool to help elderly people practice/regain like, hand-eye coordination or something. In my inexpert opinion, I don't know that this would actually help. (I'll think about trying it again when I'm an old person - maybe my opinion will change.) My playthrough was soured by the technical malfunction of floating a good ways off the ground. That's a common problem I've seen in a lot of early-ish VR games. I don't know if there's some fundamental miscommunication between them and my Quest 2/Steam Link? Anyway reaching objects was difficult, due to the whole floating thing, and I could see above and outside walls, breaking what little immersion there was. The entire control scheme is "point and look," which seems like it would be good for people who maybe can't press buttons so well. I'd actually like to see that as an alternative control scheme for other VR games, I think it would be a good accessibility option. Unfortunately that's where my praise ends.
