Must-buy for the vive. It does everything i could have asked it to. This is literally THE type of thing i was hoping would come to VR.

About This Game
Unreal Engine Rewrite
Greetings! I'm pleased to announce that Emergence has been rewritten in Unreal Engine 4.25 and now supports Valve Index and Oculus. Rewriting the application in Unreal engine took considerable effort, but I feel that it was well worth the performance boost. If you're operating without a VR headset, check the community page for a guide on how to bring up the Desktop Overlay interface. Kind Regards, ~W

User Reviews
I don't know if it was just me but I thought this was weirdly terrifying.
Gameplay is always better then words. Most recent updated Version 2.19: https://youtu.be/f6XDGL1L1lM
This is wonderful. I'm excited to see where this goes in the future!!
So stoked i stumbled upon this. Fractal Alchemist is still the better option for creative types who want to create their own fractal worlds from scratch, but as far as real-time exploration is concerned, Emergence is king. When set to an ideal render distance and number of iterations, the performance is Godly smooth and you can make and watch huge fractal transformations emerge at max stable frame rate. This one is an out of body experience that no VR user should pass up..
Didn't know I needed this. I've been interested in fractals for a long time, especially Mandelbrot. Seeing it all in VR is another level. Highly recommended - great variety of options in the infinite universes to explore and then also playing with colors and light/darkness. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS
While I personally believe its very important to be supporting developers who try things new in VR, I don't believe this project is ready to be sold as a product on the steam market. The ease of usability is practically non-existant. The scale function scales the fractal from its object position, not the player position, making it extremely difficult to explore the fractal. There is only one movement control, and thats forward, so if you are interested in this game because you want to navigate and explore the detailed fractals in VR, you probably wont be able to properly do that until the developer improves this game. Also, it really needs antialiasing, as there is flickering everywhere, and there is a black box around the field of view, so you aren't even getting a real VR experience.
I get lost when using this. Seems there should be better instructions somewhere. Will come back to it when more polished.
This is very cool if you own a vive and like fractals. pro -there is a flashlight -cool music con doesn't use all of the screen
Even though the UI is tricky, and sometimes the screen flickers, I am constantly blown away by this awesome experience. Of all the VR in my library, I go back to explore this one the most...Highly recommend...
