  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is centered around a robot head in a junkyard seeking a body, described as both cute and touching, though opinions on its execution vary widely. Some reviewers found it engaging and well-told, while others criticized it for being vague, overly simplistic, or lacking depth, often comparing it unfavorably to more developed narratives like "Wall-E." Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, with some appreciating its charm and others feeling it falls short of delivering a coherent or satisfying experience.

    • “Was a short and touching story.”
    • “Rating 6/10 a story about a severed robot in a junkyard finding redemption ... that's gold, Jerry!”
    • “I found the storyline quite engaging and well told.”
    • “Unfortunately, a passive experience lives and dies on the contents of the story, and it is impossible to not compare this to Wall-E, a bar that this animation is in no way capable of living up to.”
    • “As for the story itself, it is either too vague, and I am missing it entirely, or it is so oversimplified as to not even be recognizable as a story.”
    • “For some reason, I just couldn't follow the story; I still don't really know what it was all about or what happened.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the execution of visuals and animations was appreciated by some, but many found the graphics disappointing.

    • “Graphics are really good, panoramic views were really impressive, and performance was a solid 60 FPS with a 1080 (cut in half because I had it set at 120Hz).”
    • “Visuals and animation were executed well.”
    • “Graphics are bad and copy-paste all over.”
    • “I enjoy these VR short stories and this was cute, but given the plain visuals, the performance was terrible and as such I couldn't recommend this.”
