Creates a strong, atmospheric VR experience with good sound design and lighting that builds tension and mystery.
Functional and appealing graphics for a student project, enhancing immersion despite simple visuals.
Free to play and accessible, offering a short but interesting and original detective exploration for fans of VR horror and puzzle games.

Gameplay is basic and limited mainly to searching for clues without meaningful interaction or complex puzzles.
The story and overall design feel amateurish and underdeveloped, lacking rewarding mechanisms for player deduction.
Movement and navigation could be improved, and the game is very short, which may limit its appeal beyond a casual, one-time experience.

The graphics are praised for being visually appealing and well-executed, enhancing the game's look. However, despite the impressive visuals, the lack of interactivity diminishes the overall experience, highlighting that good graphics alone don't make the game engaging.
- “The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing.”
- “And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics.”
- “Great graphics but sadly nothing is interactive.”
