story16 positive mentions
  • Gorgeous desert environments with strong immersion and polished VR interaction mechanics.
  • Engaging story with good voice acting, atmospheric sound design, and rewarding exploration.
  • Crafting system is meaningful yet not overcomplicated; smooth performance and good production values for an early access game.
  • Very short game length with only about 3 hours of content and an incomplete story ending on a cliffhanger.
  • Inventory and crafting balance issues, including loss of materials on death and crafting being somewhat pointless due to plentiful ammo.
  • Some technical issues like clipping, controller positioning/drift problems, occasional bugs, and suboptimal gun reloading mechanics that affect gameplay flow.

    • “The conclusion is open-ended and I do hope the dev continues to support the game and flesh out the story.”
    • “- Currently, the whole content is only 3 hours long, including the main storyline and side quests, but it's a work-in-progress game.”

    • “The crafting mechanic reminds me of Prey; I love how it is designed.”
