Lavender

To keep it short: [b]Do not buy this game and do not believe the reviews it got. In the current state of the game pretty much all reviews are outright lies that try to deceive you. If you do get interested and want to try it out, remember that you can REFUND without any hassle as long as the play time is under two hours.[/b] https://youtu.be/3aY7dz-PkEI Pay attention from who the reviews come from, you can tell they had Alpha/Beta access as they've all activated the game via a key which you could get by supporting the Devs Patreon directly. So obviously they already had money put into it and have their their bias and goal set accordingly which is "shill as much as possible". That's alright though, giving a honest opinion about the current state of this game would not help those that already invested money.

This "game" is the equivalent of a IKEA furniture that is missing a few screws and bolts and that you have to completely assemble by yourself without any proper instructions. The community just consists of disappointed VRChat refugees, you can always hear them complaining about "how things will get better with time". Save yourself some time and just make an empty VR Unity project with a mirror, it would be the same experience.Their website and description is hyping up this project as if it is the next big social VR game. There is absolutely nothing original about this. This is a pure cashgrab.The controls:What utter shite to play this with Vive wands. A simple touch on the trackpad sends you flying across the room. Vive trackers also seem not to work and there is no description on how to make them work.The UI:As soon as you start the game, you get greeted with the default Unity message and get thrown into a green scenery and a mirror. From there on, you're on your own. You are also not...

Has potential, but it's crappy and broken and not worth the money. Don't buy it, don't believe the screenshots, reviews or videos. Your experience will very likely vary, and not in a good way at all. EDIT: Just play VRChat, don't need VR for it either, and either wait for this game to get better, or forget about it as it goes offline.

People who got their keys through patreon distribution after supporting for months have their reviews marked as "free" so their reviews don't count. Brainlets who bought a game in its first release in early access stage are review bombing because apparently an early access project needs to be %100 out of the box. June needs to deliver and continue to work on the features and the better then vrchat project that was promised, but people should stop buying this and expecting it to be a fully fledged game. Each of these garbage reviews I have read has been from a person who previously followed the development of this, or knew the state of it to begin with, then bought it just to scoff and be disappointed, if you didn't like it to begin with why touch it. I am disappointed by the amount of people willing to act like hounds, preparing for the release to buy it review bomb it and refund it. I just wanted a proof of concept to be finished before I dropped a dime on it, never touched the patr...

Take a hard pass on this "massive" community-driven social sandbox. This game is as "Early-Access" as it gets, one of their BOLD and BRASH claims that it performs better than VRChat belongs in the TRASH as I was reprojecting at spawn. The apparent model of development for this is incredibly flawed, with seemingly no incentive to meet any deadlines, as the longer you hold out the more you get on Patreon! If the game is going to become "massive" they need to get picked up with a real method of development that isn't reliant on the users to pay, and become free to play like VRchat, Virtualcast, and Neos VR. P.S. Revoking beta testers' keys is not a way to start off as "massive".

Alright, here we go. I waited a couple of months to see if they could do some patches to maybe fix the glaring issues with the game, or wait for the player base to rise up. But Judging from the fact the last patch came out 15 Dec 2019 and their peak player count last month on steam charts was 7 people I feel its safe to say this game is dead on arrival. It was going to be a massive uphill battle when most people will just compare it to VRChat. A game with about 3+ years of player content, a smoother experience, has a player base in the 1000s and is free. Which on the subject of free I still cant get my head around why the developer of this game would slap a price tag on a game this raw and unfinished. Here's hoping that my review ages poorly but to anyone hoping for an alternative VR Social game. save your money or you will be greeted to a world buggy, unfinished and empty.

at 04 Jan 2020 - Funny tech demo.

I agree with many of the other comments. There is no reason to buy this game at this time. This game is poorly designed tacky piece of garbage. Games like this are the reason steam's Marketplace is known for content flips and poorly designed games. Early Access is a poor excuse to release this game in its current condition. This game is Dead on Arrival. Don't waste your money.

TL;DR: It has a couple good features, but is a buggy mess, had a bad launch, and I want a refund. I came into this hoping it would be a better VRChat, ( a game I have over 2k hours on, and even with VRChat's flaws I still think it's a good game compared to this.) but I was sorely disappointed when I first spawned into a world on launch day and first thing the keyboard that is supposed to control logging into a Lavender account (which HAS to be linked to Steam) didn't work, my avatar started spazzing out (pretty much described as spagettification (and yes, like a black hole)), had no eye tracking, emote system broken (on Vive controllers, just lightly pressing the touchpad moves you and also controls emotes), preview pictures on avatars not loading, sound overlapping, doubling over, clipping something awful, and the FREAKING VOICE CHAT DIDN'T WORK (because apparently it crashed)! ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE GAME! Once I was finally able to get into a world, the loading room...
