[h1]Experienced on Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] This is a mostly cinematic experience running on the Unreal Engine with some interactions. You can play seated or standing, but you'll probably want to be standing so you can look all around. The interactions are mostly simple, but at one point, you are actually flying around in space on what looks like a space hoverbike. You also have a gravity gun for some reason (I don't think I used it) and the ability to see heat signatures (didn't use it either). I was surprised by the length of the experience (almost 30 minutes long), along with the quality of the animations. This is top-notch work as far as the 3D models and environment. I think the audio lip-syncing is probably also great ... in the Russian language. However, the lip syncing is off in English. Which is surprising because the VOs in English are actually well done otherwise. Although the store page description says you can influence the plot ... it's more like you just shake you...

TLDR; While the game has GREAT voice acting, and looks great, the nonsynched facial recognition they boost about, the rushed storyline, the somewhat weird writing, very short, a couple of nausea inducing parts (like really bad, and i have strong vrlegs) and pretty bad performance (50fps with a 1080) makes it hard to recommend. This is a Mostly a Cinematic experience, with 3 endings, all branches and endings can be seen in ~30min. (you can choose a new branch after finishing the game so you dont need to go through everything again). So basically, you can choose what happens at only a couple points. You also go on a space bikeride that looks really good, with a sense of size that felt really cool, center a docking bay port by going left right, and later you break some things. I dont know if you can "fail" when doing some of the other interacteable things, i know i didnt, but because of how the endings are told, i doubt it matters at the end. When you do things, the game doesnt mak...
It's a Sci-Fi TV show in VR. On sale it's worth it. Not on sale, it's ok. It has good visuals, but everything else is cheesy including the script, but you won't care.
Bad implementation of VR. In some scenes and places, when you move your head to the sides, the entire universe move with you, so very sickness friendly :(. The starting place is very bad. The bike part also give me sick. Also, very static experience... Unrecomended game by far. Will ask for a refund :(
Visually stunning. Very short, but the price is right.
Good looking characters and great voice acting; however, the story is very meh and the experience was a nausea fuckfest. I never get close to queasy while in VR, however some parts of this experience almost made me feel sick (e.g. the space bike part and the hyperspace entry part). It's not a bad experience, but I personally did not enjoy it. Good looking graphics and voice acting are important, but they aren't what makes the whole experience. I do hope that their next work will be better because I see real potential.
While I didn't have any of the motion sickness that a lot of people talk about, I felt like this was a very lackluster game. There's very few interactive instances and the audio was all sorts of crazy (playing on the index). Sometimes it would be super loud but then voices would be muffled and quiet. It was an adventure trying to manage that while streaming. It...Feels like a short prologue. For 4 bucks it's not that bad of a deal price wise, but I just didn't really have any fun with this. I didn't care about any of the characters either since it's only about half an hour long. The game looked great to me. Also that robot that's KB12 or whatever? Absolute Claptrap of this game, wanted to throw something at it.
Got massively motion sick and could not finish the first chapter. (you fly around space and turning was a bit tight) From what I saw it was focused on the story and had tonnes of chapters, and some decision making to do. I did however get confused as to what I was doing at times as you are jut observing for the most part, and then suddenly you had to do things. Some where simple. Some had me confused.
