Curator Review

Informational
By VR Review December 12, 2017

“It's short, it's a walking sim, the story is lacking, but it's really beautiful, and it draws you in like crazy. I've had a great time with this, but still i have a hard time recommending.”

“A short, sharp experimental adventure built around one devastatingly clever central mechanic, it's a pointed antithesis to its systems-heavy predecessor.”

Returning to the safely of the fire you see a LIDAR scanner on the floor - a trigger press results in a faint glow coming from inside the helmet. You put the helmet on, adjust the beam-width and proceed into the abyss….
