Reviews
- The serene environments provide a great escape for relaxation and unwinding.
- The ambient sounds and effects, such as the realistic splash when throwing stones, enhance the immersive experience.
- It's one of the few VR experiences focused on relaxation, making it unique in its category.
- The graphical fidelity is low, making the environments feel less immersive and dated.
- There are only three locations with limited interaction and movement options, leading to a repetitive experience.
- The game lacks substantial content and activities, making it feel more like a tech demo than a fully realized experience.

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many users noting low graphical fidelity and a lack of detail, especially given the game's ambitious objectives. While some players find the visuals acceptable, they generally agree that improvements are needed, particularly in rendering distant objects and overall quality. Despite a few positive remarks about the graphics being good for the price, the consensus leans towards disappointment in the visual presentation.
“The graphics were great, the sounds were good, and I really enjoyed it for the price!”
“The graphics could be better, but then the system requirements would probably be higher.”
“Really low graphical fidelity.”
“Poor graphics for such a demanding objective.”
“Despite the low cost, I would expect much better graphics for what is essentially a few static locations where you cannot move around at all.”

The music aspect of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the ability to practice music and find the ambient radio music enjoyable, others feel that the overall sound and music selection are underwhelming. Many users express a desire for easier access to their personal music libraries, as they prefer to relax with their own choices rather than the game's default options.
“I've been practicing music while in the game - it makes for an amazing practice room!”
“After playing for an hour listening to music and skipping rocks, I actually felt more relaxed than when I started.”
“Being able to choose my music to listen to while in the environments is a great feature.”
“The problem with this game is you’re supposed to be so captivated by the visuals (which aren’t bad), the sound (which isn’t exciting), and the music on the radio (who cares?).”
“1) You really need to be able to easily select your own music in-game from a directory on your hard drive.”

The atmosphere is praised for its beautiful and atmospheric vistas, evoking a desire for a more realistic and immersive experience. However, some users feel that it lacks the depth needed to fully engage players in the environment.
“Absolutely beautiful and atmospheric vistas.”
“I would love a good realistic atmosphere game, where you can lie on your carpet in your apartment at 2 AM and look up to see the sun shining on the beach, or sit down on the dock and watch fish while you throw stones in and watch them react to it.”
“The atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”
“I expected a rich and engaging atmosphere, but instead, it felt flat and uninviting.”
“The lack of detail in the environment really detracts from the overall atmosphere, leaving it feeling empty.”
