The gameplay has received significant criticism due to its "drag and pull" movement mechanic, which many players find disorienting and nauseating, leading to a poor overall experience. Users express a desire for alternative movement options, such as teleportation, and hope for future updates that could introduce new mechanics and puzzles.
“Would love to see more, maybe the ending could lead to another planet/structure with different mechanics to solve puzzles?”
“Until the movement mechanic is fixed, I will not even be able to attempt to play this game again.”
“The 'drag and pull' movement mechanic is quite frankly horrible, and I could play no more than a minute before getting sick to my stomach and ripping off the goggles.”
“This hasn't happened in any other VR experience I've tried so far, but most of them have used a 'teleport' mechanic rather than any form of real movement, so it may be that it's something I'll come across in other games too...”
