Kingdom City Drowning Episode 1 - The Champion

First off, I want to support and like VR movies. I see it as a new, growing platform that needs an enthusiastic audience so it can develop as a medium for entertainment. The few good ones I have experienced have been amazing, immersive experiences. For example, Miyubi, Allumette, Old Friend reminded me of the first time watching Avatar in 3D at the movie theatre (experiencing something new and magical). However, this VR episode is a muddled mess. As much as I want to support it, I cannot recommend it. There's just too many things that make it difficult to enjoy. First of all, the story is not well written or structured. There's actually very few spoken lines in the entire 24 minute runtime. Most of the time the camera is too busy moving around at very weird angles and also scales to even notice what's supposed to be happening. There's just very poor direction in this episode. There's a few "violent" scenes, but I have no idea why they happened. The dialogue did not help at ...

An outstanding and innovative experience that is possibly the worlds first example of a new genre of Virtual Reality cinematography, A narrative experience- no interaction- that is throughly gripping and a preview of what to expect in the next 4-5 years. What is not real-time now- will soon be full realtime interactive. This will set a few imaginations alight as to the possibilities and sheer scope of what future VR worlds can and will be. A must purchase. Look foward to episode Two. And props must be given for cross-platform support for both VIVE and OCULUS

Very cool, gives you a taste of what VR movies could be. Please, if you are complaining of poor quality, pause the game, go to the quality options on the far left of the little menu, hit the trigger till it is at the quality desired, and there you have it. Honestly, looking forward to the next episode.

It got interesting in the end. Had a kind of Blade Runner Feeling.

Everybody that likes movies should try this experience. It gives you a taste of what will be possilble in VR movies in the future. For example, it never felt so real to sneak around a corner together with somebody else and almost look over his shoulder...

Sorry, it's dark, super grainy, and full of gratuitous violence with no explanation and no story. Violence per se doesn't bother me (I love Arizona Sunshine), but this "game" is total crap. I've requested a refund. I mean, if you just like watching "prisoners" kill guards and each other for no discernible reason and with very little dialogue to explain, and with no interaction (you're just basically watching a 20 minute "movie"), this would be ideal.

Even if this were free, I would not recommend it. The story is not clear at all and half of it is a camera just very, very slowly creeping down hallways with no action or narrative in sight. It has some interesting camera mechanics, but they bring nothing useful to the experience. The entire thing felt painfully empty. The goal of a VR narrative expierence that this seemed to be trying to create was much better achieved by Quanero, which is a vastly more interestig and engaging experience.

Can't comment on the game as it crashes about a minute in. Tried some work arounds listed in the forum. They don't work for my system. Developer has known about the crash for almost a year, it seems, with no fix. Don't waste your money if you have a GTX 1080 like myself.

Short... Boring... Pointless... And i feel like i am half blind...

I don't know what the hell this was supposed to be, but it sucked there was no dialague that i remember and no interaction I don't even know what the hell was going on. I came out of the experience with less idea what it was about then when i started. I would not recommend this to anyone I just pissed away 5$ don't make the same mistake
