About Nirvana: The First Travel
You're a security guard navigating a gravity-warped research facility after a catastrophic dimensional collision, solving physics-based puzzles with a gravity-manipulating gun and shifting gravitational fields. The game stands out through its inventive use of gravity mechanics to create mind-bending environmental puzzles that constantly force you to rethink how space and weight interact.
The puzzles on this game usually present you with a situation, with no obvious way out. You must use all the resources at you disposal to proceed, and keep moving foward. You play as Tom Walker, a security guard that wakes up in an empty room inside the Nirvana Facility soon after an emergency evacuation. Right at the beginning, you meet the familiar voice of Doctor Lestrade, the man to instruct you through the various puzzles the facility presents. The puzzles involve interesting gravity shifts, and a gun that can move heavy objects, create anti-gravitational spheres and teleport Walker around.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's innovative puzzle mechanics, interesting gravity and gun systems, and attractive graphics, with the low price making it accessible even for skeptics. However, most criticize the poor voice acting, sluggish and unresponsive controls (particularly the laggy gun aiming and unreliable jumping), weak storytelling, and very short length of around 2 hours, with some feeling it's an unpolished Portal knockoff that fails to execute its interesting concepts effectively.
If you like weak story telling, horrible and floaty movements, and horrendous voice acting, this game is for you! Because it has all of that, and more! It also has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ level design!18 found this helpful
[h1]Overall Score: 5/10[/h1] [h1]Pros:[/h1] [list] [*][b]Interesting game mechanics.[/b] The gun mechanics have been thought out well, and are quite different from other games.

[*][b]Controls feel slow.[/b] The gun doesn't follow your movements like in most games, but instead lags behind you a bit, making it feel disjointed. The jumping is also a bit dodgy. Half of the time I died was because I just walked into one of the pits without jumping. [*][b]Poor voice acting.[/b] I'm pretty sure this was just voiced by the developer, and the lackluster delivery makes the story seem bland and uninteresting. [*][b]Broken interactions/textures.[/b] While using the red sphere I managed to accidentally teleport myself out of the map and started falling into oblivion. Towards the end there is a blatantly missing floor that makes you wonder if you're going …10 found this helpful
It's like Portal but with terrible writing, even worse acting, and bad controls.9 found this helpful
[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9686972/]Follow "[b]First Person Exploration and Puzzle Games[/b]" for more games like this![/url][/quote] A Portal-like with a glaringly obvious lack of polish. I only did the first few puzzles, but they were [i]bad[/i]. The voice acting is nearly incomprehensible, and there's no way to disable mouse acceleration. There are literally dozens of similar games out there that are better - avoid this one.3 found this helpful
I bought this game because I was curious about the voice acting, to be honest. It was only $3.95 when I bought it so it wasn't that big of a deal. You can tell the actor is probably the dev or something but who cares. What you are left with after the in game dialog is a very clever game with interesting gravity mechanics. It is obiously inspired by portal but there is nothing new under the sun, so most games are like most games anymore. I recommend this game and in fact decided to try and beat it while doing a let's play after all. Cheers mates!! https://youtu.be/cz5Zy30v_Eg1 found this helpful
