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

Dead Herring VR is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Kassel University of Art and Design in Germany. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers.

Игра 'Dead Herring VR' - это короткая, но довольно атмосферная VR-история, где вам предстоит сыграть за детектива, расследующего странные события на заброшенной рыболовной платформе. Графика простенькая, но вполне функциональная для VR, создающая гнетущую атмосферу заброшенности и тайны. Геймплей в основном состоит из исследования окружения и поиска улик. Головоломки не сложные, но заставляют немного подумать. Самое главное в игре – это атмосфера. Звуковое сопровождение, освещение и общая история создают ощущение напряжения и надвигающейся опасности. 'Dead Herring VR' не революция в VR-играх, но это приличное и интересное развлечение на один вечер. Она особенно подойдет тем, кто любит хорроры с акцентом на атмосферу и исследование, нежели на экшен и скримеры. Рекомендую, если ищете короткий, но запоминающийся VR-опыт.

Neat idea, could definitely use expanding but a real solid idea for a VR game.
