  • Beautiful, charming diorama-style puzzle game with relaxing music and a nostalgic, melancholic atmosphere.
  • Fun, casual puzzles with mostly easy to moderate difficulty and some clever elements, suitable for all ages.
  • Smooth gameplay performance with satisfying VR diorama interactions and additional hidden object mechanics enhancing the experience.
  • Limited VR interactions and minimal physics, feeling more like a mobile port than a fully native VR game.
  • Story feels vague and less engaging compared to the original game, which may reduce emotional impact for some players.
  • Controls can be clunky or overly sensitive, and the game may feel short with some players finding puzzles too simplistic or rigid.

  • story

    The story offers a nostalgic and emotional experience that draws players in, though it can feel somewhat incomplete and vague compared to the original, especially for those unfamiliar with it. While the narrative and world build intrigue, character bonds are weaker, and some visual storytelling may be initially hard to follow but improves over time. Overall, it feels like a hidden gem with more depth than expected, though it may rely on familiarity with the original for full impact.

    • “The story and the world are so nostalgic and emotional, it sucks you in and drives you to keep solving the puzzles.”
    • “The upside of this there is more to this game than I originally thought. The downside is, it does feel slightly incomplete as the original had more 'story' in it than this, which is fine if you played the original, but without it, I feel like it makes the story more vague than intended and the characters' bond a little weaker.”
    • “The visual storytelling can be a bit hard to follow at first, but it becomes more engaging as the game progresses.”
    • “There's also a bit of an abstract story to uncover.”

    • “Hmotgb is a a VR port of The Garden Between with additional puzzles and hidden object mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay consists of two elements: linear time travel where you move characters forward or backward on a timeline, and hidden objects that need to be pressed to manipulate the timeline path they take.”
    • “This is a casual zen-like puzzle game with time manipulation and hidden object gameplay mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay consists of two elements: linear time travel, where you move characters forward or backward on a timeline, and hidden object puzzles requiring you to press objects to manipulate the timeline path.”
    • “The second gameplay element is hidden object items scattered around a small diorama, mostly optional and for completion's sake, but where most of the VR gameplay comes from.”
    • “Hmotgb is a VR port of The Garden Between with additional puzzles and hidden object mechanics.”
