  • It offers a charming and humorous experience reminiscent of Portal, with creative puzzles that engage players.
  • The developers are responsive to community feedback, quickly addressing bugs and improving the game.
  • Many players find certain levels, particularly level 12/13, to be unintuitive and frustrating due to unclear mechanics and sudden difficulty spikes.
  • There are reports of game-breaking bugs and glitches that hinder progress, such as issues with achievements and level resets.
  • The early levels lack challenge, making the game feel too easy before introducing more complex mechanics later on.
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of innovative mechanics and puzzle-solving elements, though some players feel that the introduction of new mechanics can be overwhelming and occasionally feels glitchy. While the simplistic art style may not appeal to everyone, the game is praised for its impressive mechanics and charm, particularly for those who enjoy VR and puzzle games. Overall, the experience is likened to a blend of classic puzzle games, with a focus on creative problem-solving and smooth VR motion.

    • “I'd recommend this game to anyone that loves puzzles and is comfortable with smooth VR motion mechanics.”
    • “Considering the scope of the dev team working on this, it's very impressive mechanically and implements groundbreaking concepts and ideas I haven't seen in other VR games of its scale.”
    • “This game has a rather simplistic art style, some may not like that, but I feel it does not take away from the gameplay and story. Do note that the game is not fully complete and does have future content in the works; think of it like Portal minus the portals. Many of the puzzles revolve around using a cube to hold down a button to get a door open to get to the elevator; however, getting to and from the end of a level is where the true fun is.”
    • “That level introduced too many mechanics at once, and the solution of flying through the level feels like a glitch, as if Super Mario 64 told you how to long jump and first had you use it to BLJ through a locked door.”
    • “That mechanic only shows up in a handful of levels after that, and I feel that the experience would be a lot better if the puzzles were reworked without flying.”
    • “Unfortunately, the solution was a new game mechanic that hadn't been introduced before.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and features fully voice-acted elements that keep players invested, despite the overall simplicity of the art style. While the game is not fully complete and has future content planned, it offers an interesting narrative experience alongside its puzzle mechanics, making it a worthwhile purchase for VR users. However, some players note that the game is relatively short, lasting around three hours.

    • “The story was interesting and the ending is being worked on; the game is awesome and for 5 bucks is worth it.”
    • “The game has a rather simplistic art style, but it does not take away from the gameplay and story. It is not fully complete and has future content in the works.”
    • “It has a fully voice acted story that kept me engaged entirely throughout.”
    • “For what the game is and how much it costs, I would say without a doubt, if you have a VR headset, purchase the game. It may be short for me, coming in at about 3 hours, but it has a fully voice-acted story that kept me engaged entirely throughout.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a blend of clever humor and engaging puzzles, with players appreciating its comedic elements and the creative freedom offered in solving challenges. Overall, the humor adds significant value to the gameplay experience.

    • “Definitely worth the asking price; it's got some good humor and good puzzles.”
    • “The game is funny, with a few hidden secrets and different ways to make it through each puzzle depending on your creativity.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have reported stability issues, particularly highlighting glitches related to item collection within the game.

    • “I encountered several collection glitches in the game that really affected my experience.”
    • “The game suffers from frequent stability issues, making it hard to enjoy.”
    • “There are numerous bugs that disrupt gameplay and hinder overall stability.”
  • graphics
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a simplistic art style that may not appeal to everyone, but it does not detract from the overall gameplay and narrative experience. While the game is still in development with future content planned, its visual presentation is reminiscent of a minimalist approach, focusing more on puzzle-solving mechanics than on intricate graphics.

    • “The game features a simplistic art style that some may not prefer, but I believe it enhances the gameplay and story. It's reminiscent of a portal game, minus the portals, where many puzzles involve using a cube to hold down buttons to progress. The journey to and from the end of each level is where the true enjoyment lies.”
    • “The graphics are beautifully crafted, creating an immersive environment that draws you into the game world. Each scene is visually stunning, making exploration a delight.”
    • “The vibrant colors and detailed textures in the game really bring the world to life, making every moment visually captivating.”
    • “The graphics are quite outdated and lack the detail that modern games offer, making the overall experience feel less immersive.”
    • “While the gameplay may be engaging, the visuals are disappointing and do not match the quality of the mechanics.”
    • “The art style feels very basic and uninspired, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
