A short, but interesting story with no bugs or the usual "hard to control" glitches. The only downside here is that it only somewhat supports index controllers. It works fine, but you have to find out the buttons for yourself :)

Decent puzzle game, but very short (2.5 hours) for the asking price, so I'd only recommend this on a sale. Nitpick: The flashlight is really weird and pointless in the game, you have to hold the trigger for max brightness. It replacing your left hand tool also makes it that much more annoying to use. Should've been on/off toggle on the right hand. The game does not use the grip button at all, so interacting with stuff is kinda annoying at times, but definitely not an issue.

Finished RM got 95% of the achievements. That's all but 1. I plan a 2nd playthrough on whatever VR HS I might get in the future. This is how VR should be used. This game was definitely my kind of experience. Reminds me of slow moving sci-fi like Silent Runnings, etc. The settings were drop dead gorgeous. I took my time throughout so I wouldn't miss anything. Everything others said annoyed them (like the guy periodically communicating with you via radio) I really liked. It felt like something from Carpenter's first film Dark Star. The voice acting was fine and really added to it for me personally. I hope the sequel has the same. Others have mentioned the puzzles being a tad simple. A few challenged my puzzler a little bit. But I just have to make sure to looked at everything. For anyone who might get stuck... just stick it out and keep trying. Nothing better than completing a game like this without getting a hint. I hope the sequel increases the fright factor. The atmosphere here kept me constantly engaged. But I think it's a slight let down in the end. Like a really great film, this was well worth what I paid for it. I tried it on the Quest 3 through Meta using Quest+. Loved it. But then I bought it and played it through steamvr and it was quite a bit better looking. This is a game to be explored fully. I plan to take on the sequel soon. But next I'm going to Genotype.

Excellent VR sci-fi game, worked well with my HP Reverb G2. Graphics, environments and gameplay is very good, puzzles are well balanced with increasing difficulty although not super challenging. I enjoyed it so much that I really wished it was longer, but nevertheless I definitely recommend this game!

Interesting project. 2-4 hours of gameplay. The puzzles hit the sweetspot - not too easy, not too hard. Alot of interaction with the environment. Graphics are really amazing. If you do not own it I recommend getting it, especially on sale
