A supernice and cute little platform adventure with some really dark twists and some delightful moments of redemption. Definitely a game for do not miss. I do wonder why its free, despite being happy it is. But if its to show an entry into a genre, its heck of a showcase.

Good.
* Most puzzles is fairly straight forward.
* The platforming is nicely paced for the most part, platforms are well placed and controls feels solid. * Delighful mystery in the game exposing a little bit of lore at a time, so its worth looking for the clues to that lore.

Issues
* I've had a few tiny hangs in the app, but im sure those will be ironed out soon enough.
* And a few on the jumping puzzles had me somewhat frustrated. It might just be because I play with a keyboard, which makes control slightly harder. The game does make it emminently clear its best played with a controller. But i found no issues with keyboard except for a few of the later jumping puzzles. You cant rebind your keys, which would be nice. Key-selection is very workable for this time of game.

Wishlist
* I really wish it was possible to 100% the game though without that last achievement of making the game without dying. Not having a controller I think after playing it through 2 times already, I think would be hugely frustrating, but great bragging rights for the people that wants to do it. It's not a hard game by any measure, but the jumpings needed to make it through flawlessly would be endlessly frustrating to me if I tried.

Fairly straightforward puzzler with a great atmosphere and sense of some wonder. It starts off fairly easily and has good pacing in introducing any new mechanics. A few puzzles can be a bit tricky before you get your head around the specific mechanic, but non is really a showstopper, rather a slight pause. All in all, its a few hours of nice relaxed wonder.

I stumbled onto the room series of games a while ago and really like them as a bit of relaxed puzzle solving, this in VR is a fairly immersivive. Coming from Alyx as my last real VR game at first I felt fairly constrained, but after a bit once you get used to it being similar to the other games but in VR you get more used to just being able to jump between specific points. All in all, lovely little game, Some really nice immersive views and scenes and some interesting mechanics. Easy to recommend.

It's a really charming game with a few moments that cat lovers will likekly shed a tear over, also the attention to detail how the pupils will reflect light at certain angles really shows they took some great care in getting a lot of details right. The puzzles are fairly easy as far as the main story goes, but still a good fun playthrough, but some of the secret collectibles can be a bit tricky to find.

The only few tiny drawbacks.
If you play with keyboard and mouse, and rebound buttons, be aware that not all buttons can be rebound properly. A few of them will always use the default WASD bindings, like certain actions in the game like rotate items in the inventory. But all important keys are fully working while actually playing except for show item at W. But thats a minor annoyance and not gamebreaking in any way.

I also encountered a few graphical slowdowns when its sometimes loading in new areas. On a good comp with 6900XT and 64GB RAM it feels like it's a optimization issue.

So far this is my first souls style game, and its been a real treat, nice enviroments, not that hard to get into to. But, beware if you use a lefthanded setup of keybindings like me and the numpad. Because the game does not allow for a the usual bindings. Number keys are fine, but all special numpad keys like: del, *, /, - and + cannot be used at all, which makes for very awkward bindings.

IMO it is the first real AAA style game for VR that is fully fleshed out. And going into the game you are imediately struck by the enviroment. And it somewhat blew me away the first time I cracked a window and leaned inside and looked around. A lot of things, small and large can be interacted with so to a good degree it makes the world immersive. Haven't finished the story yet, but so far, I quite like it, and it definitely has a few section that can be quite scary.

It does have some issues with how the controls work on the rift s with the fully closing your hand for certain actions, but most of it becomes second nature after a couple of hours of playing the game.

The only issue I have is that even on Easy, the game can be frightingly hard to succeed in and the difficulty could use some tweaking, except for that, its a good pastime.

One xample is that a fully upgraded ship, even doing everything right, timing shots, going for modules, and will still only be able to take half of the first phase of the mothership because shots will miss and fail to disable the module, and then the enemy hits you with tripple missles all hitting time and time again.
