JUST THE BEGINNING\
This is the first episode of a multi-episodic storyline. Uncover the mystery of John's life in an intensifying manner that reduces repetitive gameplay. By introducing new mechanics slowly in each new episode, players will be able to accomplish increasingly more powerful and complex tasks without being overwhelmed by learning too many controls at once.
In future episodes, follow John on his quest for vengeance as he discovers more about his supernatural powers. Go through training to master the skills to fight and disarm enemies in close quarters combat. Learn to create portals and travel between alternate dimensions at will. Find the culprits responsible for destroying his family and make them pay.

Just what I'm after in VR a horror/puzzle/shooter/story/ corny awesomess personified. A little buggy atm but I'll put up with that for this kind of story, got kind of an Alan Wake, Max Payne kind of feel obviously without the budget of those though. It's corny as hell at the start and a little John Wickish story like, but then the story begins and WTF I can nod or shake my head to answer my mother, who by the way is just enough slutty mum to make her cool. Then I get to go to the bathroom, see myself in the mirror and it's refecting my image and movement, nice touch Devs. Then the real story begins, I haven't been this excited for a small Indie game since forever. It's not for everyone but it is what I've been waiting for. Ok update have now finished episode 1 took about 1.6hrs and it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome. Highlights [spoiler] The whole trip, the giant worm, the worms arsehole, the climb, the ending of ep1[/spoiler] Nice work Dev I really like what you've done, can't wait for episode 2.8 found this helpful
This was a game that really caught my attention and I had high hopes for. A nice break from a near endless amount of VR wave shooters, and poor excuses for games aka "experiences". Its an oddball world, with different elements, you dont know what to except from one scene to the next. This should have been a breathe of fresh air for me, and if not for the bugs, it would have made an appearance on my personal top 20 VR games. But bugs are lurking around every corner. If the game was in EA I could at least have gone in with my eyes open and just hold out hope they would get patched eventually. And its not like I am trying to summon devs back from the dead on an ancient game, this is a 2018 full release title and my thread on my bugs made nearly a week ago https://steamcommunity.com/app/776040/discussions/1/1696044439574055049/ has gone unanswered. Not even a vague "we will look into it". It pains me to rate it down, as this is the type of game that I would want to encourage. But when the bugs get so bad I cannot progress (character appears to have no controls (ie hands), can pass through solid objects, cannot interact with items or enemies in the world), I feel I should warn others…7 found this helpful
Almost to the end of the first episode and I am enjoying it over all. Its a game that can use alot of work on the interface side but I felt it was worth a little work getting use to it. You are thrown into scenes that each are very different. Spacey man real far out. I look forward to what is to come.3 found this helpful
Very rough around the edges. But fun nevertheless. Hoping we'll see an episode 2 (?).
Well.. I can't say this is good or bad game. I think, something between.. I have strange feelings, but I don't regret about buying it)))
Good game but still needs some work. The story was strange but good. Worth the price.
