  • story
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The story is well-paced and well-told.”
    • “A beautiful and charming little VR puzzle game with a nice story and interesting characters.”
    • “Great story, impressive locations, cool graphics and effects, charming characters, and unique and innovative puzzles.”
    • “This game story is more like a short prologue or introduction.”
    • “Puzzles are childishly easy, visuals are decent but nothing to write home about, story is a complete snoozefest.”
    • “I found all the story parts of the game pretty boring.”
  • graphics
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The visuals were absolutely beautiful, and supported by excellent voice acting, and a serenely ephemeral musical score that perfectly matched the mood.”
    • “Stunning visuals accompany this intriguing tale.”
    • “A fantasy adventure with beautiful graphics and effects.”
    • “Puzzles are childishly easy, visuals are decent but nothing to write home about, story is a complete snoozefest.”
    • “It's also not nearly as visually polished as that game and feels slightly glitchy, though that may be a consequence of the more detailed art style.”
    • “Tl;dr- kinda meh, not worth 15, only an hour of play, weirdly bad graphics, and maybe a bit racist?”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging puzzle mechanics and a unique interaction system, though some players find it repetitive and lacking depth. While the game offers a captivating world and well-executed mechanics, it suffers from a lack of variety in spells and scenes, leading to a feeling of incompleteness in both gameplay and story. Overall, it serves as a decent introduction to VR for younger audiences, but may leave adult players wanting more in terms of replay value and narrative depth.

    • “The gameplay is good, the world sucks you in, and then the story is incomplete.”
    • “Very good puzzle game with great mechanics.”
    • “The graphics, art direction, voice acting, mechanics, and puzzles were all perfectly executed.”
    • “I would have loved more spells and more scenes to give a bit more depth to the gameplay and story.”
    • “This has pretty much 0 replay value, and the game pretty much ends as you finally figure out all the mechanics of the game.”
    • “The 'puzzles' are more about figuring out the game controls and mechanics.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is consistently praised for its captivating and immersive qualities, with many reviewers highlighting its unique blend of great graphics and a whimsical, nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic narratives. The world-building and sense of wonder evoke comparisons to theme park experiences, making it a standout feature that enhances the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “The atmosphere and feeling of this game are pretty astounding - it brings back some of the feeling of being on an animatronic ride at Disney. There's some light story but mostly it's about world building and a feeling of wonder that I'm very impressed they were able to capture.”
    • “A great atmospheric puzzle game that has a 'never ending story' meets 'Return to Oz' type feel with its narrative.”
    • “Still, I found the atmosphere to be great and very much recommend this game.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mixed emotional response, with some feeling disconnected due to the vast environments, while others find the experience of "Twilight Path" to be magical and rejuvenating, reigniting their passion for VR.

    • “The high production values here really bring it all together: the music, the animations, the voice acting, and the 3D models & environments are all excellent.”
    • “The visuals were absolutely beautiful, supported by excellent voice acting and a serenely ephemeral musical score that perfectly matched the mood.”
    • “The voice acting and music/effects are very well executed.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers express frustration with the monetization strategy, feeling that it misleads players into believing they have more freedom to explore than the rigid, linear gameplay actually allows.

    • “The monetization system feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to enjoy basic features.”
    • “I find the in-game purchases to be overly aggressive, making it hard to progress without spending real money.”
    • “The constant prompts to buy items disrupt the gameplay experience and make it feel more like a cash grab than a game.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the awkward far-away grab mechanic, which can make the summoning process feel cumbersome and repetitive.

    • “The far-away grab mechanic is weird and becomes tedious when summoning it.”
    • “Grinding feels like an endless chore rather than an engaging part of the game.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay motivated to continue playing.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is criticized for having minimal replayability, with players noting that it can be completed quickly—often in under an hour and a half—leaving little incentive to revisit once the mechanics are fully understood.

    • “This has pretty much 0 replay value, and the game pretty much ends as you finally figure out all the mechanics of the game.”
