    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally described as simple and low-poly, with some users noting that while they are colorful and stylized, they do not stand out compared to other VR titles. While the visuals may not be impressive, the focus on audio immersion is highlighted as a key aspect of the experience. Overall, the graphics are considered adequate but not a standout feature.

    • “Good low-poly colorful visuals.”
    • “Good graphics...check”
    • “Originally a daydream port, but still holds up okay due to its stylized visuals.”
    • “Simple graphics, nothing special, and very short.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is largely criticized for lacking meaningful interaction and structured loops, resembling more of an art exhibition than a traditional game. While some users find the limited gameplay to be decent and relaxing, overall, it fails to deliver a compelling gaming experience.

    • “There are no gameplay loops in this rejected art school dropout exhibition, no 'gameplay', no meaningful game-like interaction.”
    • “There isn't much of a gameplay, but what it has to offer is quite decent and relaxing.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The user did not provide any specific feedback on the story aspect, indicating a lack of engagement or clarity regarding the narrative. The focus was primarily on gameplay mechanics and technical issues rather than the storyline itself.

    • “The story is confusing and lacks depth.”
    • “There seems to be no coherent narrative throughout the game.”
    • “The characters are poorly developed and the plot feels disjointed.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game is criticized for its limited content, offering only about 10 minutes of engagement, and lacks interactive features for players to create or replay music. Users express disappointment over the abrupt ending of the music experience without options to continue or explore further.

    • “I was just getting immersed in the end music when it just stops and thanked me for playing. There's no option to restart the music or set up some instrument loops; you just have to exit.”
    • “Maybe 10 minutes worth of content unless you spend a lot of extra time at the end trying to make music.”
    • “At the end of the simulation, you 'pretend' to make music, but you're really not even doing that.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, including bugs that cause characters to float unexpectedly, indicating a need for improvements in the game's overall performance.

    • “It was buggy; I was floating 1 meter above the ground and couldn't get down.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I experienced constant lag and frame drops, which ruined the overall experience.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players indicate that grinding in the game can be quite demanding, often requiring significant time investment or additional lives to progress effectively.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, and it still feels like I'm nowhere.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is generally relaxing and enhanced by 360 audio, though some users feel that it could be improved compared to other experiences.

    • “The game features immersive 360 audio that creates a truly relaxing atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is captivating and draws you into the experience.”
    • “The combination of visuals and sound design creates an incredibly engaging atmosphere.”
    • “I recommend it because it does have 360 audio and a really relaxing atmosphere, but I've definitely heard better.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players found the emotional aspect of the game particularly immersive, with the gear room's surround sound creating a strong sense of presence that made them feel as if they were truly part of the environment.
