About 5 hours of gameplay. Very linear with a little bit of side exploration for weapon and health upgrades. The main issue I had with the game is your walking speed. It is way too slow and seems to be on purpose to drag out the game. If there was a sprint toggle, I would have probably cut the game time down by at least an hour. Also, a sprint or dodge would have really been appreciated during combat as the enemy pretty much has the same pace (and some faster) than your character. The puzzles and boss fights are interesting with hints available if you need them. There is nothing overly complex but they are fun in their own way. Graphics are standard for this type of game with nothing standing out but serviceable. The music is pretty good and keeps pace with the story/action. For a small (singular?) VR developer, it deserves a look.
