About Visionarium 2 - The Descent
The visionary journey continues! Visionarium 2 The Descent is a follow up VR experience by multimedia artist and solo indie developer Sander Bos.
In Visionarium 2, you will descend into the dystopian crevices of our times. This audio-visualizer features an archetypal underworld experience, inviting the journeyer to surrender to the darkness as a way to break through and enter visionary states.
Most of the artwork is painted in Tiltbrush and other VR creation tools, trying to make the most out of VR as a new artform.
Like in the first version, the experience includes a fixed soundtrack by various musicians and the possibility to add your own music of preference.
Featuring music tracks from Treeboga, Kaminanda and Dreamstate Logic

Players praise this as a relaxing, creative VR experience with engaging visuals and music that works well for unwinding without requiring much physical movement, though some note the visuals are reminiscent of 90s visualizer aesthetics. However, the experience is marred by significant concerns about the lack of content warnings for disturbing imagery like suicide depictions, and practical frustrations like inability to skip scenes, rewind, or clearly sync background music to visuals, which limits replayability and enjoyment for returning visits.
With no age restriction and no content warnings, it starts with a dive into some slums and within a minute goes into displaying person committing suicide in an empty apartment in front of their TV. At this point I genuinely don't give a damn of whether it is going to look like screenshots, it is alt+f4 and negative review time. I am not against shock content in video games and other media, but mark it accordingly, damn it.6 found this helpful
The best VR relaxation series!1 found this helpful
This is a nice thing. A lot of thought has clearly gone into creating a range of different experiences and I enjoyed my 30 mins with it, having bought it on heavy discount. But I won't be going back in, for a couple of reasons: 1. The visuals are fun, but you can't skip to a scene you particularly like. So to get to some of my favourites near the end, I have to fast forward for a couple of minutes. Not so fun. And I can't rewind to relive parts again. 2. When I turn on background music it does seem to respond to it, but not particularly clearly. The whole vibe is 100% aligned to 1990s Future Sound of London and it would have been completely at home being projected on a big screen at one of their gigs. But I need to see the whole screen throbbing to the beat in order to make the experience land. The soundtrack is great though. Perfectly suited to the visuals. And my Pico 4 controllers worked as they should, so I could draw in the sky with a range of different effects. It's clearly a labour of love and well worth a go on discount, but too expensive at full price, for me. I look forward to seeing what Visionarium 3 might bring.
I really enjoyed this journey. It's a simple setup the music visuals are very relaxing. You can spin around and do some light painting on this guided journey. Very nice.
Let me start by I am a sucker for VR games that don’t make me move, if I am say, just wanting to chill in bed and not crane my neck all over the place. This hits that itch perfectly if I want to unwind from the daily world. I don’t partake anymore, but it’s plenty trippy for the sober minded. Super creative, and while I dig the music I guess you can also move along to your own, which I would like to try, even though no complaints on what’s already there. Definitely recommend.
nice
