Reviews
- The game features beautiful graphics and a unique biotech setting that immerses players in a visually stunning experience.
- It's a fun and short VR demo that serves as a great introduction to virtual reality, especially for beginners.
- The game is free to play, making it accessible for anyone interested in trying out VR without any financial commitment.
- The gameplay is extremely short, lasting only a few minutes, which leaves players wanting more and limits replay value.
- Many players experience motion sickness due to the on-rails movement and head-based aiming mechanics, making it uncomfortable for some.
- There is a lack of educational value and depth in gameplay, as it primarily consists of looking at and shooting neurons without much interaction.

The graphics in the game are widely praised for their beauty and smooth performance, even on less powerful hardware, providing a visually impressive experience. Many users appreciate the tranquil and immersive visuals, which enhance the overall feel of the game, despite some criticism regarding the gameplay mechanics. While the graphics are generally considered decent to outstanding, the gameplay experience can be somewhat limited or repetitive, leading to mixed feelings about the overall enjoyment.
“The overall feel for the game is pretty good and the graphics are smooth and tranquil, as though you're drifting downstream, watching the wildlife peacefully wander, the flora gently rustling with the breeze.”
“Inmind runs butterly smooth and is well suited to demo to people trying VR for the first time as its gentle movements and amazing visuals will impress any newbie without giving them sim sickness.”
“Visuals are stunning, love them.”
“No graphics options either, you're just thrown into the brain to shoot at red neurons.”
“Visuals are okay, but the experience felt somewhat boring (and almost nauseating): you are on rails and look at things to get their color to change.”
“It would have been so much better if using a gun of some sort was an option rather than having to dart your head around; graphics are fairly decent though.”

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. Many noted that the visuals are appealing, but the gameplay often feels like a mini-game or on-rails experience that may not hold players' interest for long. Overall, while there are enjoyable moments, the gameplay is seen as needing significant improvement to compete with modern titles.
“However, its simplicity could have it classified as a mini-game, considering its length and gameplay. Though it doesn't size up with other modern titles, it is a pleasant and fun experience.”
“I really like the looking mechanic and shooting as objects are coming at you. The game is challenging, and there seems to be quite a bit of gameplay from what I've seen so far.”
“Great idea, well done, good graphics but not too heavy, simple and intuitive gameplay, psychedelic and kind of instructive.”
“A random mesh of neurons and extremely lazy rails 'gameplay' with robotic voice-over.”
“Very boring gameplay and nauseous locomotion.”
“Entire gameplay consists of looking at things until they turn green.”
