About The Scream

The most famous painting in the world releases its demons

The Scream by Edvard Munch is omnipresent. Its terror-twisted face has made such a deep and lasting impression on the collective imagination that it is even used for an emoji representing anxiety. But do you really know this iconic painting? Munch’s demons and ghosts emerge from the canvas to plunge you into the painter’s sources of inspiration, revealing quite a few precious secrets.

The privilege of going head-to-head with the famous masterpiece provides a spectacular immersion into the painter’s tortured psyche, bringing you up close and anxiously personal with natural and supernatural phenomena, ghosts and mummies. The canvas suddenly releases its demons and chaos invades every millimetre of your personal (virtual) space.

This breath-taking dive into Munch’s The Scream will not leave you unscathed.

If you have an interest in art, The Scream offers a nice VR experience. However, it is too short and should be free like it was before.

Yes, I screamed while trying to setup my VR with this game, and I screamed again because of the limited space in my room and inability to move with sticks. And of constant fear of bumping into my TV set. The game portrays Edvard Munch and 3 of his paintings. During the gameplay you can hear his bio and some thoughts about his work, life etc. Pretty short and not much jaw dropping in terms of VR effects but still pleasant experience.

Eh. It's basically a VR hardware demo but not a good one. For a visual-only experience it's not really visually interesting at all and only like 10m long. If you're interested in the paintings just pull up a picture on your phone for a better look. I would say this isn't worth the effort to even pull the headset out of the box. It isn't worth any amount of money.

Enjoyable experience, but very short. I am slightly disappointed, because I expected the painting to come to life more. It does give some background information about Edvard Munch and about the painting. In my opinion this could have been more then it was. I consider to recommend this VR experience because the content was not bad and I enjoyed the experience. Giving a bit more thought to this review (which was initially an up-vote) I do believe it is too expensive. Then I see it is listed under free to play, which it is not. I should have been free to play. Or at least way cheaper ! Down-voted due to the price vs duration. It is expensive for what you get. Would be a definite recommendation if it would have been free. There are many free experiences around which offer more content.
