Many describe it as a captivating, immersive music video that effectively combines relaxing vibes with trippy, dynamic environments, making it a standout free experience.

    • “The music and visuals are perfectly synced.”
    • “The music is great, the effects match the music extremely well, and it looks pretty good.”
    • “The music and visuals is an absolute seller, the music allows you to escape into this world and I loved every minute of it.”
    • “This garbage 'art-not-game' installation is from a French producer nobody ever heard of, does nothing but display some flashy light show and play some awful music, and it was a dismal failure on Steam, for obvious reasons.”
    • “Music was repetitive and didn't really take me on much of a 'journey' per se.”
    • “It's a real shame - I hope the developers decide to switch from just playing a music track to placing the audio sources in the actual 3D scene so that it feels truly immersive.”
  • graphics
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this VR experience are widely praised for their stunning visuals and immersive design, effectively complementing the music and creating a relaxing atmosphere. Users appreciate the abstract and psychedelic elements, noting that the visuals are well-synced with the audio, enhancing the overall experience. While some desire more intensity or higher resolution, the consensus is that the graphics are impressive and contribute significantly to the enjoyment of the music video aesthetic.

    • “The visuals work really nicely with the music, and the way everything is set up is awesome in VR.”
    • “The music and visuals are perfectly synced.”
    • “Incredible visuals and music.”
    • “Currently, the graphics on this are very nice, but I would love to see it with way more pixels (maybe in Vive 2?). I also had some circular glare reflections on the Fresnel lenses in the Vive because of the high contrast (use of the lights in the dark setting). This has nothing to do with the artists' work; they did a fine job. I think this shows the artistic talents are here, but the hardware needs refinement to do justice to the expressions they are able to deliver.”
    • “Though very short, I really liked the visuals, effects, and music that went into this. Everyone who had a hand in this nailed the music video aesthetic with this game. Bravo to them! I hope to see more like this but expanded upon in the future.”
    • “Also, I prefer more intense visuals; it felt rather too calm for me.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is largely absent, with users noting that the experience consists mainly of exploring visuals and music rather than engaging in traditional game mechanics or loops. This contemplative approach may appeal to some, but it leaves many feeling unsatisfied and wanting more interactive elements.

    • “There are no gameplay loops in this rejected art school dropout exhibition, no 'gameplay', no meaningful game-like interaction.”
    • “There's no gameplay; it's only a contemplative experience, but that makes you ask for more.”
