About Jonah's Path

A Virtual reality (HTC Vive) experience which transposes the character at the first glance in a rich deep underwater environment. The environment then shifts and trans-cedes in the second half in a more ambiguous low gravity planet surface type, the experience has it's roots in the Jonah and the whale biblical story and in the depths of Europa Jupiter's moon.

✦ AI summary

Players are divided on Jonah's Path, with some appreciating its atmospheric, emotionally-driven narrative about themes like depression and loss presented through a surreal visual style, while others criticize it as barely a game at all—lacking meaningful gameplay loops and interaction, instead feeling more like a short, unpolished video experience. Technical issues with the menu and a brief, abrupt ending compound concerns, though the free price point makes it worth exploring for its artistic merit despite needing significant refinement.

Jonah's Path is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Jonah's Path is a software application that shows you a short CGI movie for your VR headset (and this is bad even for one of those videos, you don't even get to look around). That's right, instead of being a game, this is a Youtube video. Once more, Valve really needs to get some quality control. At the very least they should have someone check and see if something is actually a game before it gets published on Steam as a game. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they wi…

Игра 'Jonah's Path' – это трогательная и атмосферная головоломка, которая погружает в сюрреалистичный мир, полный символизма и личных переживаний главного героя. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в приглушенных тонах с элементами ручной рисовки, создает ощущение сна или воспоминания. Игровой процесс заключается в манипулировании окружением, решении головоломок и перемещении по уровням, пронизанным чувством одиночества и поиска. Хотя геймплей не отличается особой сложностью, акцент сделан на эмоциональном воздействии и повествовании. 'Jonah's Path' поднимает важные темы, такие как депрессия, потеря и принятие себя, заставляя задуматься о собственном внутреннем мире. Несмотря на инди-статус, игра продумана до мелочей: атмосферное звуковое сопровождение усиливает эффект погружения, а сюжет, хоть и рассказанный косвенно, оставляет сильное впечатление. 'Jonah's Path' – это не просто игра, а интерактивное произведение искусства, которое может затронуть струны души и подарить уникальный эмоциональный опыт. Рекомендуется тем, кто ищет неспешный и медитативный геймплей с глубоким смыслом.

Getting in and initial menu is extremely flaky, and while the 'experience' is neat, it's quick, abrupt with the ending and leaves ya scratching you're head saying... this is it A thumbs up/thumbs down doesn't do this justice, because this would be firmly in the middle.... For free it's worth checking out what the dev/artist has done, but that comes with the caveat - it still needs work.
