The gameplay is praised for its innovative mechanics that effectively utilize room-scale VR without relying on teleportation or artificial locomotion, creating a sense of unlimited space. While the controls are well-designed and enjoyable, some players find the gameplay to be somewhat repetitive and challenging, with a few experiencing VR sickness. Overall, the game is recognized for its fresh approach and potential for future development, though some aspects, like the cylinder mechanics, have been noted as flaws.
“Simple gameplay but great use of room scale and doing large scale motion with no teleporting or artificial locomotion.”
“This is hands down the best game mechanic I've experienced for feeling like you're playing in an unlimited space and yet not ever moving more than a handful of steps in any direction.”
“The mechanics of walking around in your own VR boundaries and how the game is perfectly adapted to them is amazing.”
“Gameplay is a bit repetitive; I hope they add in more aspects later.”
“Though at some point this 'first steps' game became a bit lengthy for me without a lot of change in mechanics.”
“I cannot recommend this VR title for everyone; however, the cylinder mechanics are a major flaw, and I didn't see a lot of variety in the demo beyond the puzzle mechanics aside from a single fight with flying beetles.”
