What it is

This is a VR puzzle/exploration adventure game with room-scale movement and 1:1 hand tracking. Players solve puzzles and explore detailed environments in a dark 80s fantasy sci-fi setting.

What players liked

Players praise its immersive story, voice acting, and innovative VR mechanics, comparing it to classic adventure games like Myst and Gabriel Knight.

The catch

Movement is teleport only, with no smooth locomotion or turning, and it feels awful.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 83% positive, but with 1,521 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
