InMind VR offers a visually stunning experience with beautiful graphics and a unique concept of exploring the human brain.
The game serves as a fun and engaging introduction to VR, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced users.
Despite its short length, the game provides an interesting and immersive experience that can spark curiosity about the mind and its functions.

The game is extremely short, lasting only about 5 minutes, which may leave players wanting more content.

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its simplicity and fun elements, while others criticize it for being overly basic and lacking depth.

- “A random mesh of neurons and extremely lazy rails 'gameplay' with robotic voice-over.”
