The gameplay is characterized by a relaxing experience complemented by an incredible soundtrack and impressive graphics. However, the basic teleportation mechanic is criticized for not fully utilizing the expansive environments, and there are calls for more intuitive navigation and control options to enhance comfort and engagement. Overall, while the visuals and atmosphere are praised, the gameplay mechanics need refinement for a more immersive experience.
- “Incredible soundtrack, impeccable graphics, and relaxing gameplay.”
- “The teleportation mechanic is a bit basic for such large areas; some other movement mechanic might boost the engagement and make use of the large open areas.”
- “Ridiculous gameplay decisions.”
- “Please, I beg you, seriously consider gameplay to be as comfortable as possible: location navigation and control bindings should be very similar to other VR games; breathing exercises, running, and location changes should be smooth, but with the ability to stop if one changes their mind.”

The game currently lacks a defined story mode, focusing instead on meditation and exploration of natural locations. While players appreciate the concept and interactive elements, they express a desire for a narrative component to enhance the experience. Continuous updates from the developer may improve the game's depth, but as it stands, the story aspect is minimal.
- “Bought it after trying the demo; it seems like a solid concept. I'm not sure if a story mode is planned, but that would definitely be welcomed as the world and characters seem ready for it!”
- “Really interesting concept! The travel locations are nice, and there are some interactive elements. It has more functionality than the last time I tried it. However, there isn't a story at this point; it's more about traveling to locations and doing breathing exercises.”
- “I'm not sure how, but a story mode would be very nice, or some sort of progress.”
- “So overall the game delivers when it comes to meditation and natural locations, but falls short in the extras provided. Though that is expected, as long as the developer continues patching updates, then this will be a great game. If the updates stop, then it might be a different story.”
- “Really interesting concept. The travel locations are nice and there are some interactive elements. It has more functionality than the last time I tried it, hence my recommendation. However, there isn't a story at this point; it's more about traveling to locations and doing breathing exercises.”
- “Bought it after trying the demo. It seems like a solid concept, but I'm not sure if there are plans for a story mode of some sort. That would definitely be welcomed, as from what I can see, the world and characters are ready for it!”
