Breathless

⠀

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2 Using Link Cable[/h1] This is a less than 3 minute, purely cinematic experience, basically a VR music video. I really liked the artistic vision and I loved the music (Croom, ft. vocals from Audriana Acuna). Unfortunately, this experience has so many technical issues that take away from the artistic vision. The actual experience is not so great. The biggest problem is optimization. This experience runs very poorly. It's running on the Unity Engine and I was getting variable frame rates around 50 fps on my RTX 3080. Which is weird because the experience is basically low-texture and mono-chrome so that really shouldn't be happening. So you get re-projection. You get pop-in. You get shadows dancing in and out. I found that if you just look straight ahead and don't look around, the issues are less noticeable. Still, it's a shame because it really sours the artistic experience. Despite that, if you're into experimental art experiences, I recommend this download. It's free. The artists are wonderful. Too bad the programming is held up by duct tape apparently. [b]Rate ?/10.

I love VR experiences and am always grateful for them whether free or paid. There aren't too many available that are true VR. This was free. It was short. I spent a half hour trying to get it working for what felt like 2 to 3 minutes. The music was nice but that's it. Quest 2, have to set in Oculus to primary OpenXR runtime. Wouldn't work for me otherwise. Also would not work with Virtual Desktop or Airlink. Had to be Oculus Link. Ran it straight through Oculus library. Running through Steam produces some sounds but black screen for me. Lots of effort and she didn't let me finish.

What, why? exit, uninstall.

[h1]Before I played Breathless, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
