Experience the Energy: Take the Challenge
Experience the Energy: Take the Challenge is a free VR game funded by the Canada Oil industry. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has a series of mini-games that sort of test you for ten jobs in the oil industry. Some of the games have short timers, so makes them hard to win.
Try this game, if you are interesting in Oil industry.

Well produced I suppose. Actually, it’s very well done. I played a little bit of the GO version first. I don’t know if they feature parity of experiences. I played a fair amount (but maybe not all) of the experiences on PC until I got bored, which wasn’t very long. Alot of these games didn’t really have much to do with oil and gas, but I think maybe because of the category I selected. My favorite game was the first one I played, whereby you get to evaulate employees and they come into work and send them home or let them go to work.
! That’s my dream job. https://youtu.be/uZwxzIn6pg0

Imercyve: Living with Intellectual Disability
It is hard to review a product that cannot really be classified as game but I will try my best.
The idea behind the product is to simulate certain “disabilities”. Each one plays out and ends once a specific time limit has been reached (30 seconds maybe?) There were a total of 4 “experiences” making this one of the shortest games/programs/experiences I own. I ran the program twice and clocked in at 0.3 hours.
The good
- A couple of the experiences are done very well (Tablet phone call and the brochure).

This is a seven minute experience that seems more like an advertisement for Mercy Connect than an attempt to actually educate anyone about intellectual disabilities. You’re literally given a pamphlet for their organization as one of the last events. I wouldn’t mind that at all if there weren’t already an entry fee or if I felt like that did a good job of educating me about the subject, but as it is it seems tacky. Each scenario was good and I would love for other VR games/experiences to play with sensory changes the way Imercyve starts to but never fully embraces.

Milling machine 3D
Drill, mill, grind and cut in a lovely, little hut.
For the first time ever, you are able to immerse yourself in a world of milling. You can use a conventional milling machine, from the comfort of your computer.
With a tutorial that will lead you through the first stages of the game, you will acquaint yourself with the controles, so you can prototype your own products or solve challenging tests.
Realistic physics and movement make the grind feel life-like. Customize your workpiece by choosing a material and size. Don’t have enough time to finish it right now? No problem! Just save your work and continue at another time. Don’t know which direction to go with? Duplicate your work and try it out! Mistakes are allowed! Trial and error being great teaching tools.
OnTheWire
Sur Le Fil or On The Wire (OTW for Friends) is a game focused on the electricity / electronics, in an interactive and fun way, with 3D animations.
The goal is simple: Have fun while learning to understand the electron, helped by Prof’Fil, your mentor. But, be careful, for a good understanding , Prof will also give you explanations of physics, mathematics, chemistry, mechanics and even history since the game tries to respect the chronology of knowledges.
Sometimes Kelhann, one of Prof’s students, falls asleep and travels through time. You will play it in more or less ancient universes where the villagers will give you missions to improve their daily lives. It’s funny, beautiful, and you will be able to apply your knowledge gained in previous levels. You will have to reinvent great discoveries such as the telegraph, the telephone, the water pump, the lightning rod, the radio and so many other great inventions before you get to contemporary technology.
Prof will also teach you to weld and you will be able, via an experiment mode as well as kits of parts, to manufacture in real what you learned about the game.
No basic knowledge is required and the recommended age for the player is from 13 years old.
For PC, Mac and Linux computers.
Language: French / English (to start)
Coral Quest
Very simplistic game that was obviously designed for phones. A 3rd person runner game where you move your fish on a 3x3 grid collecting shiny objects while avoiding obstacles. Cosmetics are unlocked along the way while you also accumulate currency that can be used to purchase additional characters or accessories.
A cups-and-balls game is presented between levels to win additional currency, as well as almost depressing facts about plastic pollution.
There is some variety in the level design with new environments and obstacles, but it does start to feel like a grind pretty quickly. A nice game to play while listening to music or a podcast.

Game is simple but cute. Young children will probably enjoy the game and the ability to change what fish they are.

Experience the Energy: Take the Tour
Experience the Energy: Take the Tour is a free VR experience about the Oil and natural gas industry in Canada. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. You can do this one sitting in center of your play area. The energy industry is funding this to recruit workers.
Try this, if you are interested in learning about the Oil industry.

Oddly I preferred this non-interactive video experience more than the interactive mini-game one. Mainly because they are both not very scintillating topics. I mean, it’s kind of interesting, but not like videos about jungle animals or cool space stuff. It’s the energy industry preaching to you. It has marvelous video quality though. It’s so high you can’t really tell if it’s monoscopic or not.
! You’re monoscopic! https://youtu.be/OmUDXQISf6o

Once Upon a Sea
Once Upon a Sea is a poetic, interactive XR documentary telling the tragic tale of the legendary Dead Sea. Through a physical exploration of the sea’s forbidden, moonlike landscapes, to intimate encounters with local characters, the user gets a rare glimpse into one of the world’s most dangerous, soon to be extinct, wonders. Centuries of human intervention and political neglect have turned the Dead Sea into a precarious place. Its water levels have dropped dramatically, leaving behind sinkholes and collapsing beaches. The experience offers a deep insight into the complexity and very human impact of this ecological and geopolitical crisis. Once Upon a Sea is our call to action.
PAGO FOREST: DRAGON’S REVENGE

Highly recommended to any insomniac out there

Sheng Tian (升天) - Episode 1
Really creative game for learning. Kinda feels a bit like Myst, very laid back and relaxing but also a productive way to spend some time learnign some new characters. I’ve been learning Chinese for a few months now and this game reflects that skill level, it is for beginners for sure. I do wish the puzzles were a bit more complicated and challenging but that might make it more stressful so it’s an interesting trade off. Overall the game and level design feels creative and unique. Worth the price for sure!

Pretty short, even for a first episode, and the game play was a little slow even for an educational game. Not bad, but hoping for more in the next releases. Perhaps incorporating mouse control. If you’re learning Chinese this can help break up the boring other stuff you’ll have to learn. Will update after/if episode 2 happens. Thanks for the learning game.
