It's a short and relaxing journey through the afterlife with simple puzzles and trippy visuals. Some graphics seem dated, but it goes with the retro vibe. It took a bit bit to understand what I was supposed to be doing and there is a lot of backtracking, but I enjoyed the experience. I like discovering things for myself. It doesn't tell you exactly what to do. Take it as a meditative walking simulator with a couple of things to do along the way like draw shapes with your wand and ring a bell. Mostly you just are there to experience the intricate geometric patterns and zone out. It took about 2 and a half hours to complete. The price may seem a bit steep, but I see myself playing this again. Not just a once and done. It does have free locomotion and snap turning. Or point-and-click teleport. The dev is hands on and was quick to resolve one bug I found.

This game does not work! I have the same problem as other gamer's, after installation the game will not play, nothing happens when you press 'new game' but the stats show I have played for a certain time. I even uninstalled the game and reinstalled but the same problem exists. I can't even find a website for the developers to email them for a fix, does anyone have any ideas?
PLAYED WITH THE QUEST 2 AND THE VIVE PRO 2 USING INDEX CONTROLLERS The atmosphere is fantastic as well as the audio for this adventure. Played great with both headsets when I learned how to select the correct controller options. It is important if you are using a quest to select the correct launch option for the Quest which can be found in the Properties of the game in your steam library select Launch for Quest and will load the quest controller configuration. With the Vive pro 2, since I was using Index controllers, I applied a community configuration from (BP Game template) and they worked great with no issues. There is a whole lot to explore and items that must be found and collected to advance in this adventure. Beautiful and full of mystery. Full of surprises and the atmosphere audio is outstanding. I have played at the time of this review almost 2 1/2 hours and think I have only scratched the surface of this journey. Like I said, there is a lot to explore here. Love this advent...
can not even figure out how to start a game. pressed every button on keyboard, gamepad and oculus controllers. says 127 hours play time but i have not played one second!
I enjoyed playing this game. It is relaxing, not very challenging but it takes sometime to discover what you should do in some places. It took me between 3-4 hours to finish it (but I do not play very quickly, as I try to enjoy and relax when playin these type of games... :-) I just experienced one bug, when trying to go down to the burial for a second time, and I had to restart the game, what it was a little bit disappointing. The only thing I did not like too much was the ending. It looks like the developer was a little bit in a hurry to ending the game, and as far as I could appreciate the last walking scenes are not in 3D. But in general, I would recommend it for people that like to play games well designed, relaxing and with some but not too big challenges. As it is a one man work, I think it deserved more attention and more reviews.
I love it when a developers can give me these moments of intense awe. Thanks you ,thank you. That church scene made me have goosebumps and then I felt intensely sad. Very cathartic. When a (solo?) developer embarks on such an ambitious project there are always pain points. It's sometimes janky, confusing and buggy. Read the other reviews, but it's so clear that Sander is a world class artist, visuals and designs are top notch. Not afraid to try things that haven't been done before. Kudos for that. Hope you keep on making more games. All you need is a small team of people that can do half what you can, and they can work on quality of life issues, bugs, playtesting and general polish. You stay as the lead. If you persevere I am sure you will achieve more mainstream succes in the vr space. ps for any readers that want to try it. Make sure you always click all items. You want to get stones, flowers and sometimes orbs, alters etc. Click on them.
I wish when they say they have something like teleportation, it would work
