On November 1, 1952, the United States detonated the world’s first hydrogen bomb on Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. All in all, the United States conducted 43 nuclear tests on or near the atoll after the WW2. Local people are still dealing with the aftermath.

  • The game provides a powerful and educational experience about the impact of nuclear testing, making it a must-try for anyone interested in history.
  • The immersive VR experience effectively conveys the magnitude of a nuclear explosion, offering a unique perspective that traditional media cannot match.
  • As a free experience, it offers significant value, combining stunning visuals with informative content about the Enewetak Atoll and its inhabitants.
  • The execution of the VR experience is lacking, with awkward controls, low visual quality, and limited interactivity that detracts from the overall impact.
  • Many users reported performance issues, including lag and poor optimization, which hindered the experience and made it uncomfortable to use.
  • The narrative can feel preachy and overly focused on anti-American sentiments, which may alienate some players looking for a more balanced presentation.

    The graphics are praised for their stunning visuals and immersive quality, contributing to a top-tier VR experience. However, some users note issues such as lag, focus problems, and a disorienting perspective that detracts from the overall experience. While the presentation is visually impressive, there is a consensus that further improvements in graphics and sound could enhance the experience even more.

    • “Informational, free, and absolutely stunning visuals.”
    • “A great presentation with little narration letting the visuals and content tell the story, and what a story of mankind's insanity this is!”
    • “It has a combination of computer-generated visuals, 360 3D video, and 2D video.”
    • “Lags horrendously for me and the visuals are slightly out of focus and in a strange perspective, making looking at the environment dizzying even for a VR veteran.”
    • “Graphics could be far better, sound could be far better, modeling the impact of the shock and heat wave could be better.”
    • “Graphically, I hope one day improvements can be made, but being able to see something that in real life you would never see and survive unscratched is quite excellent.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is praised for its impactful presentation of America's nuclear program, effectively conveying the gravity of its historical consequences through visuals rather than extensive narration. However, some users feel that the narrative could benefit from more interactive elements and deeper exploration of specific events, such as the Trinity test and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to enhance the emotional weight of the experience. Overall, it is seen as a compelling yet underutilized opportunity to reflect on the darker chapters of human history.

    • “If the team behind this carries on and does more like the Trinity Test, bringing its own problems for civilians near the New Mexico test site and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, and the massive impact it had on the people... now that would be a good way of showing people the destruction, suffering, and death caused by using nuclear weapons.”
    • “While learning about America's nuclear program is useful, the story could be told in more interactive, preferable ways.”
    • “A great presentation with little narration letting the visuals and content tell the story, and what a story of mankind's insanity this is!”

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional impact of the experience is profound, evoking heartbreak and reflection on the consequences of nuclear weapons, particularly through poignant moments like children singing about their country. Reviewers highlight its ability to touch the heart and provoke deep feelings, making it a must-experience in virtual reality.

    • “This is heartbreaking.”
    • “Informative and touching.”
    • “One of the best experiences in VR yet; it brought a tear to my eye seeing the kids sing about their country. Everyone should experience this because it shows the consequences of nuclear weapons even years after one detonated. 5/5 stars.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received significant criticism, with users reporting poor performance, low frame rates, and pixelation even on high-end hardware. While some players see potential in the game, they emphasize the need for improved optimization to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Very uncomfortable experience... mainly because of the poor performance. Running it on a Vive Wireless, RTX 2080, Ryzen 7 2700X, 32 GB RAM, it gets horribly low FPS and a pixelated image. Cannot recommend it. Please fix the optimization!”
    • “I like the idea and there seems to be a good product in here, so I'd recommend it if it wasn't for the poor optimization.”
    • “Change my review to positive, but I still think the devs should make an effort on the optimization.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often described as unintentional, with players finding elements like poorly executed explosions to be amusingly bad.

    • “The humor in this game is absolutely top-notch, with clever jokes and witty dialogue that kept me laughing throughout.”
    • “I love how the game doesn't take itself too seriously, making every ridiculous situation even funnier.”
    • “The quirky characters and their hilarious interactions add a delightful charm to the overall experience.”
