[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] I like VNs. I thought a VN in VR just made too much sense and was excited about an Alice in Wonderland iteration. However, I had to refund because it had two major problems that I couldn't look past. The big problem is that the text is in the way of the scenery. There's this big block text just blocking your view of what's going on. You have to press X to hide the text so you can enjoy the art. However, if your press A you fast forward all the dialogue, very nice indeed... not. Why couldn't there be bubble texts above the characters? I'm sure it could be done in a way where you could still read the text. Honestly, though, I think the text needs to be narrated. The second problem is the combat. Yes there's combat in this VN. It's super clunky and boring and there's way too much of it. You point and click left or right trigger while stepping left or right to avoid attacks. The first time is okay. The second time is still...

That's definitely true first visual novel in VR! I didn’t even expect, that VN is even possible to exist in such format. First of all – dat’s really VN, which mixed beautiful arts and 3D environment, which changes day of time and weather in realtime. By the other hand – it’s in-game sound, that makes you dive into a story, which’s getting darker and darker… Cool art style and I noticed that you can get through the storyline, playing from view of the two different girls – Alice and another one hero(Dark “Alice”?). So, the storyline is going different according their point of view. Very addictive game, and it’d not so stressful as all these VR shooters and other action games. So I think I’ll spend a lot of hours in this strange atmospheric world. The only disadvantage is that I get tired if I use VR for a long time, and the story is so complex, that I still didn’t figured out what actually happened, but I hope it will get clearer as I proceed further. De...
Before I started playing, I had some doubts about the VR and how it’s gonna looks like here. Honestly, I have never encountered such games, because I don’t really understand, how’s possible make strong hard-oriented story games for VR. Nevertheless, the game just dragged on and made me went through and through - yes, it certainly is not an “experience”, not a shooter or a shooting range.. This is more of a brave experiment, which, as for me - success. There is still something to strive for and seek for other decisions (may be new ideas, how to optimize interface?), but the work which’s done is impressive!
In general, I rarely write reviews, but not in this case. Actually, it is the first game in verse that I see - at least for this it is worth to buy. Besides – I really liked how different characters of the Wonderland are drawn. Sometimes they look very unexpected. But not without drawbacks - the interface could be made more convenient, but I believe that developers will listen to the community and correct everything, even in their next games if they are planning to go further with VN in VR. With battles too - did not understand at once, that's why – take an advise – read options and tutorial – for me it was helpful. For now: it’s 4/5 for a new experience and an interesting story in verse.
So, let’s see what we’ve got here.. ✔️ Story in a verse ✔️ Wonderland in VR ✔️ Battles ✔️ Mysterious ✔️ Nice arts Could tell that it’s the best visual interactive novel for VR-platforms, but it seems, that it’s the only one, cause i've no idea, what else can be closer to VN genre and + adapted for VR. Deserved to be recommend to try if you’re ok with Alice, Wonderland, so on..
I LOVE Alice lore SOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUCH!! ♥ ♥ ♥ Characters - ONELOVE!! ♥ ♥ But the story is SOOOOO creepy:(( And sad T_________T One time I almost cried;( It’s inspired me and made be grateful for what I have - my loved ones and my friends.. Hope, that you also would make RIGHT conclusions!
Recently I played several visual novels, but not in VR until today. In 3D surrounding you are going to walkthrough chapters, reading dialogs and taking part in battles with wonderland creatures. Some of them seems familiar, but it can’t be said about all of them – you’re also going to meet new ones, which… hmm… Looks impressive, sometimes strange, sometimes like from smbds nightmares. The story of this interpretation is much darker, than in typical fairytale or in original «Alice». It’s not obvious for the first time, but be attentive to the details – there are many things and refs u can notice and be impressed. Of course – poems! That’s a great work and no idea, how much time it was spent on it 0__o I’ve no idea where else story was made like this.. For me, it’s one of the most top game advantages. Talking about VR – in my view, it’s the first step to bring v-novel inside of headsets, but hope, that in future we’ll see more such games as «Guard» and ...
Well, well… What we’ve got here… «If i had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?» In this story, i see many references to original book of Lewis Carroll, but in the same time – Guard skillfully combined own ideas. Now it's an adventure, which much more darker and it's difficult to see, cause you need to reed between the lines and try to analyze, what’s really going on… Respect for making such brave project for VR! Saying about format – not everything perfect for it, but it’s the first game here of it’s kind, which's made so carefully with straight hands. GLHF everyone)
Played on HTC Vive. There are two characters. Played one story through in 15 minutes (didn't read the story - played for experience). Killing part is too easy [spoiler](hit 2-3 times - mostly hit)[/spoiler], defence is easy [spoiler](just step aside)[/spoiler]. [spoiler]No movement even on the path she'is travelling, just standing and waiting for the opponents[/spoiler]. Left hand is basically useless. The text is headtracking. Played the other story through, too. Fights are the same, story is basically the same. Only difference is different allies, who don't do anything. Expected more of this game.
Wonderland has never been like this before… These are the first words of trailer, which made me to chek up this game. Sooooo, impressions after 2hours: [+] POETIC narrative (!!) Exciting story WONDERFUL Art First VN in VR experience [-] Team need to improve controls Also, there are some issues about interface
