About Where Thoughts Go

Discover the dreams, fears and experiences of other people - and leave your own for others to find.

In this award-winning social experience, sleeping creatures & float toward you awakened by a gentle touch to reveal the voice messages of others who have previously visited. These unscripted and anonymous stories reveal and inspire, encouraging you to share your own for others to discover.

Visually beautiful and wholly transformative, Where Thoughts Go: Prologue thematically explores the course of a lifetime through light, environmental design and five simple questions. The voice recordings you hear are unique and unidentifiable, left by individuals from every walk of life, every age and every background. Participants have no way to discern who they are hearing from, only how considerate and sensitive each and every person is.

In a time of great division the experience shows how we much we have in common; we all dream, have hopes, and share human connection.

Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR

Really disappointed with this. So much, if not all of the audio seemed so forced and did not seem genuine. It all came across as such scripted answers, and because of that I in no way felt like I was part of something special, personal, or meaningful. It felt like listening to an array of voice actors reading from a script. For £7 I really can not recommend anyone get this. Very disappointing.

This is the emotionally heaviest thing that's ever happened to me in three decades of playing video games. It's such a weird experiment but it's wild to think that so many of these recorded answers are statements that people would never make to their own family and/or friends. It's also interesting that in about an hour of listening to the recorded answers, there was never a "bad" one. Simply absolute strangers peeling back their psyche and explaining deep failures and thoughts to someone they'll never hear from themselves. This isn't a fun experience but it's an intensely insightful one.

I don't write much reviews, but this is one that I feel I have to for a most underrated and beautiful game. It was a very therapeutic experience to be able to listen to others about their passions, struggles, and their ability to adapt and overcome. It was a definite reminder, at least for me, for being grateful for what you have in life, even in times of bad. Its a short game, its pretty much the only con I can give. For those that left their thoughts, thank you so much for sharing, and I really hope you find what you are all looking for. I think developers such as Lucas Rizzotto are onto something in the therapeutic gaming world and I truly hope to see more games like this. Games like Kind Words is all I could think of being remotely close to this. For those that have a lot on their mind, I feel this game would benefit you. Be prepared to cry, I know I did, but I ended up feeling better.

Where Thoughts Go is a beautiful, vulnerable game experience. It is a particularly hard VR game to capture/'sell' in words, because not only is it hard to communicate the experience of VR games in general, but in particular a game like this is filled with emotion and sensitivity, things that are somewhat esoteric until the moment we are actually feeling them. And that is exactly why Where Thoughts Go is so wonderful. It facilitates a journey into emotion, sensitivity, vulnerability. It facilitates FEELING, it leaves you IMPACTED. The premise is simple when described bluntly. You will be presented with a question, and be able to hear - without names to the voices - the answers of others. Then, you will have the opportunity to provide your own answer. Where Thoughts Go is is generally a very personal kind of experience that most will want to experience alone, in fact if you are feeling brave it can also be a wonderful, intimate, shared experience. If I may pat myself on the back for a moment, I was quite brave! After trying the beginning ('first question') to see what it was like, I decided I would play through Where Thoughts Go when a budding close friend visited. He agreed to m…
