Gameplay is primarily centered around teleportation for movement between set areas, enhanced by improved visuals and VR mechanics. While the mechanical puzzles are satisfying and the physical manipulation system offers clever interactions, it can sometimes feel cumbersome. Overall, the game features engaging puzzles and mechanics, though the VR experience may not meet contemporary expectations, and the story integration is minimal but does not detract from the puzzle-solving experience.
- “I really appreciated all the mechanical details; everything moved and clicked in and out of place exactly as you'd expect.”
- “Mechanical puzzles feel so satisfying for me on a normal screen already, but even better in VR.”
- “I did like the novel mechanic that pieces you pick up often need to be opened/activated and/or combined with other things.”
- “Gameplay mainly consists of teleporting to move, back and forth between preordained areas.”
- “Similarly, the physical manipulation system is a mixed bag - it's a clever mechanic that sometimes feels a bit fiddly, especially when twisting an object in two hands, or sliding objects with your finger.”
- “The VR mechanics are subpar for what I would expect in this day and age.”
