The story is generally described as touching and enjoyable, though predictable and not fully utilizing the potential of VR. While it is a short experience, lasting around 1.5 hours, many players found it emotionally impactful, often evoking strong feelings. Overall, the narrative is appreciated for its charm and immersive qualities, despite some limitations in animation and depth.
- “Was kind of disappointed initially with how it's such a waste of VR potential, but the great story far outweighs the downsides.”
- “Both games (Innocent Forest 1 and 2) were amazing. Funny enough, I played them in the wrong order, but honestly, I think playing 2 first then 1 made more of an impact. Absolutely amazing story; had me holding back tears in both games. Highly recommended for those that enjoy visual novels; it quite reminds me of 'Key's' visual novels.”
- “Its very much a story-driven experience, but there's a bit more freedom to look around now on PC compared to mobile. At the time this came out, mobile VR wasn't a very big market, and the VR rendering they did in it is nice!”
- “The story is played and completed in one hour.”
- “The story is cute, not attempting to be groundbreaking.”
- “This story is usually dirt cheap, and while it is rather predictable and doesn't take full advantage of VR, being there in the story adds so much.”
