I honestly have no idea what I experienced here. Mostly I was just stood inside a sphere. Sometimes I was just standing still. Sometimes there were things which could be smushed together. Sometimes I was in a different location. Sometimes the things were squid. I couldn't really figure out any rhyme or reason to the interactions or why I was doing them and I was completely bewildered when it ended. What is this for? Who is it for? If this was meant to be a game then it needed to be significantly less muddled. If it was meant to be an art installation then it should have lost some of the game-like trappings and focused on the art. If this was just a weird little tech demo then charging money for it as if it was a finished experience seems dishonest. Either way, for "An immersive VR adventure in a fantastic world." it's not particularly immersive, there is no adventure and it's very particularly fantastical.

This is a VR only art installation masquerading as a video game. Explore an esoteric, surreal world with low poly VR "Fairies" and things to express, well, nobody has any idea what the art school dropout Starbucks baristas were doing on their work breaks here. Let's go over the basic rules for Steam. Steam is for video games. Video games can feature art, but art without gameplay is not a video game. Since this is absolutely without any gameplay merits (and, franky, no real artistic merit either), it doesn't belong on Steam. Even if it was spectacularly amazing art, which it isn't, it still wouldn't belong. Let's talk about VR exclusivity. Slapping VR only on your "game" doesn't suddenly make your "game" good. If your "game" has no appeal to gamers without VR, then your game has no appeal to gamers at all. It could be argued this "game" is so bad it makes VR itself worse, even if you don't own it. Laughed out of art school? Local art gallery took out a restraining order? Why not dump your "art" on Steam and pretend it's a video game? Maybe that's unkind, but there are examples where artistic expression has been central to a video game and yet that video game h…
