What players say

Really entertaining VR game! It's short, but every moment of it is fun. What I like the most is how it can run on any PC, that's rare for this type of game. I found the few combat encounters there are thrilling and kinda scary even. In conclusion, anyone can play and have fun! Unless you don't like puzzles...

1 more review, not recommended
This game is an hour long and is worth maybe $5 at most. It is an interesting concept, but that is all it can be with an hour play length and no time to develop into something greater. The VR support is weak relying on you using the triggers for everything, no grip buttons; and you have to teleport to move, no smooth locomotion. The puzzles range from brain dead to infuriating. Making me want to look up an answer...
