I bought this on a Steam sale and forgot about it. Just saw it in my library and fired it up. A really well made little puzzle-game I must say, and its also a diorama type game like Moss which is one of my favorite VR games.

Seriously one of the more unique gaming experiences I have had. It is quite short, I beat it in just under 1 hour. But it has some really cool mechanics, and it is a game that would pretty much only work in VR, which is the mark of a good VR game. I got it on sale and it was very worth the experience.

A very short but very very charming and clever little puzzle. It took me around 100min to complete and i enjoyed every single moment. Besides the incredible main gimmick of the game which the trailer explains well enough, i found myself engrossed in the incredible and mysterious story. Since the movement is teleportation and the game only really has two inputs, it is perfect for vr beginners and a perfect game to show family and friends what vr can be. If you want dificult puzzles that have you searching for a solution for who knows how long, yea maybe this wont be it. If you are searching for a short and relaxed vr experience with beautiful visuals, clever mechanics and an interesting story? Then this is for you!

When I say the phrase "VR games used to be fun," this is what pops into my head. It works so well in VR, it gives you this unique sense of wonder and awe without being laggy and overly ambitious. Pretty short, I took an hour to beat it but honestly it could've probably been done in half that. But damn is it nice to sit in that tiny slice of VR history where games were this dedicated and creative. It's a pretty standard point and click adventure with a recurring ability to shrink objects or enlarge them by shifting your perspective from model house inhabitant to model house builder. I think with the VR, it turns a solid 7/10 game into a 8/10 if not just to put this game on a pedestal for what vr can do right. $15 is a tall price for something shorter than an HBO episode but It's all about how much you wanna go back to that point in time.

It's worth to play because the idea is very interesting and works really well in VR. But the gameplay itself is a bit boring and janky, the narrator treats you like a brain dead child that makes really annoying. Only grab this game on a sale.
