  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in this title is characterized by a mix of innovative mechanics and significant clunkiness, with players noting that certain interactions can be buggy and unreliable, particularly when escaping enemies. While some enjoyed the unique elements and lore, others found the gameplay challenging, especially with specific mechanics like the doll's crawling behavior. Overall, it appeals to both VR newcomers and seasoned players, but requires patience due to its rough execution.

    • “The ending brought a surprising amount of lore with how short it is, and the overall gameplay is great for both VR newbies and Gorilla Tag experts.”
    • “I had about 52 minutes of gameplay, and had a great time through it.”
    • “Gameplay itself is a bit janky, 'escaping' the 'enemies' kinda only works about 1/10th of the time (especially that first guy), but I did get notable enjoyment from watching the television that scrapes random videos from the internet.”
    • “Gameplay itself is hella jank; 'escaping' the 'enemies' kinda only works about 1/10th of the time (especially that first guy), but I did get notable enjoyment from watching the television that scrapes random videos from the internet, so 6/10.”
    • “I can't get past night 2; it seems hard to get away from the doll with the crawling mechanic, as it just speeds straight away and gives very little chance to escape.”
    • “While I did not experience any serious issues or bugs, the gameplay overall was very clunky.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of Uncharted is generally well-received, with players expressing enjoyment but some uncertainty about whether it matches the quality of the first installment.

    • “I like the story of Uncharted, but I am not sure if I would like it as much as the first one.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely criticized for being subpar, especially for a VR experience, leading to a disappointing visual experience. Users express a desire for improved graphics and basic physics to enhance immersion, suggesting that a remastered version could significantly elevate the game's potential.

    • “It would be great if you made a remastered version with better graphics; I think it would be the best horror game in VR.”
    • “Although it is free, the graphics are simply too bad for a VR game. It is just sad to watch through a VR headset, where everything in your view looks horrible. I would also like basic physics for the baby dolls and popcorn bucket; it just doesn't feel right how they rapidly sink to the ground when you let go.”
    • “Don't let the meh quality graphics fool you.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The game effectively combines elements of horror and heartfelt experiences, leading to a mix of laughter and deep emotional engagement. Overall, it is praised for its ability to evoke powerful reactions.

    • “Made me scream like a little girl; had to get the boys for emotional support. If you want a scary game, you have to get this one. It's really good.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits some stability issues, particularly with a mechanic involving covering the player's ears, which has been noted as buggy. Despite these glitches, players still find the game effective in delivering a strong horror experience, especially considering its rapid development within 60 days.

    • “Each entity has a cool mechanic; however, the one where the player must cover their ears is a little buggy.”
    • “I don't write reviews often, but this game is a horror game made in 60 days with a few glitches, but a lot of fear factor.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as chaotic and disorienting, with elements that seem to obscure deeper meanings or secrets. The overall impression suggests a blend of confusion and intensity, contributing to a unique auditory experience.
