About Cosmogonic
Cosmogonic is a 10 minute interactive science fiction animated short.
This story is told by Cosmogonic—a once-great robot-engineer, who created the universe. When we put on our VR headsets, we step into Cosmogonic’s head and hear him narrate the story of one of the planets he created: Actinuria. Here, the Pallatinids, a society of giant robots, live under the cruel King Archithorius. Fearing a conspiracy, he forces the citizens to wear suits of uranium armor, which causes an explosion if too many of them gather. But one Pallatinid—a bold, young inventor named Pyron—decides to use science and technology to inspire a revolution.
A note from Director Pawel Szarzyński:
"Cosmogonic is the story of an oppressed society and its path to liberation. I believe strongly that the basic drive to freedom is universal. Through a sci-fi perspective and a journey to distant, bizarre, and often incomprehensible places, I want to remove our everyday, structured vision of the world, and draw us away from the friendly, earthly environment we know all too well. By creating Cosmogonic’s uncanny world—diving into the origin of its universe, exploring the beginnings of life there, and experiencing the struggles of a developed civilization—I hope to offer a fresh perspective, one that will help us to look clearly at ourselves. Ultimately, the story is a fairy tale. In my opinion, it is one that asks us to face the driving forces of nature, politics, and technology that shape our world today."

It worked on the Meta Quest 3 using link cable for me. It was just okay for me. It's a cinematic 3D 360 experience. This should probably be a .99 cents experience honestly since it's way too short and the production values are pretty low. The story was forgettable for me. I would recommend it on a sale only and only if you're really into supporting the arts in VR. It's not bad, but it's not that good either. Maybe you'll like it more than I did though.7 found this helpful
Not working with Valve Index. Refund.3 found this helpful
It only seemed to work on Air Link with my Quest 3. And Air-link has a habit of failing the audio, so the sound was only coming from the PC speakers. Otherwise it was fine.1 found this helpful
