  • story
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story revolves around a man captured in war, reflecting on his life before the conflict, presented through visually striking dioramas. While some reviewers appreciate its artistic execution and beautiful music, many criticize the narrative for being too brief and lacking depth, making it difficult for players to emotionally engage with the content. Overall, it is seen as a short, poignant experience that may resonate with those seeking a reflective, albeit minimalistic, storytelling approach.

    • “The music that plays throughout is beautiful and the story it tells is one worth living for yourself.”
    • “I guess the best way to describe this is an artsy short silent cinema experience set in a VR environment where the story is then told through memories, which are like animated dioramas that you move closer to and then peer into to see them on a larger scale.”
    • “One of the most accomplished pieces of storytelling in VR that I've seen yet.”
    • “It doesn't really have a story, it's merely some scenes without any real explanation.”
    • “The story is very short and consists only of a few scenes with very little (to nearly no) movement/animations (like you would look into a snow globe).”
    • “How can the viewer invest emotionally into the emotional story when not much is presented to make him do so?”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its beauty and ability to enhance the storytelling, creating a captivating atmosphere. Many users highlight it as one of the best musical scores in VR, though some express disappointment over its brevity.

    • “The music that plays throughout is beautiful and the story it tells is one worth living for yourself.”
    • “Not sure what the story was about, but even though I didn't completely understand it, I thought it was beautiful and the music was just magnificent.”
    • “One of the best musical scores in VR.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that while the game attempts to convey an emotional story, it falls short due to insufficient substance and a brief runtime, making it difficult for players to fully invest emotionally. The emotional weight is present, but the lack of depth hinders a stronger connection.

    • “It carries the emotional load but it lacks the substance.”
    • “Because of the short runtime, it is hard to get emotional.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally considered simple and mediocre, yet they effectively serve their purpose within the game. Additionally, the absence of voice acting contributes to the overall lack of visual and auditory depth.

    • “Graphics are on the simple side, but they work well.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a short yet captivating atmospheric experience, characterized by its unique artistic style and excellent music. While the world is well-presented and immersive, many players feel that the brevity detracts from the overall experience.
