There The Light

There The Light

I can see this being one of those games that polarizes people - you’re either the type of person who likes this kind of game or you’re not. And if you’re not, you’re probably really going to dislike it.

Fortunately, I’m in the former category. I loved the “vibe” of this game. But more than that, I loved the feeling I experienced playing it. I come from the “walking simulator”/exploration game camp. I love games where I can explore, at my own pace, a place that has a lot to see and experience. I also like puzzles to an extent, and the puzzles in this were either simple (but somewhat meditative) or somewhat annoying (the circular ones). I didn’t struggle too long with any of them, but I enjoyed some more than others, even if they weren’t difficult. It felt like the point of the game wasn’t the puzzles but more the experience as a whole.

There The Light takes the player on a mystical journey through the abandoned ruins of a long lost civilization. The mystery of who these people were and what caused them to leave this world remains unsolved even after the end of the game, although there are hints indicating what actually happened. At the same time, the game leaves a lot of space for personal interpretation or various speculations, the story being conveyed solely through the numerous inscriptions and drawings that one can find on the walls of the surrounding temples. One thing is certain though: this advanced civilization left behind a series of puzzles and enigmatic mechanisms.

Construct VR - The Volumetric Movie

Construct VR - The Volumetric Movie

Construct VR - the first ever fully immersive Volumetric 6DOF movie

Watch the free demo first to learn more about the technology behind Construct VR.

Construct VR is an experience in the PresenZ movie format, that showcases the technological breakthroughs of VR storytelling through volumetric photorealistic video, powered by V-Nova point cloud compression.

Enter a science-fiction dystopian world, where a robot must fight for his life and the lives of his family. This is the first actual action movie in six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) photorealistic VR, exploring unprecedented and game-changing dimensions for the medium.

FEATURES:

  • PresenZ’s volumetric movie format, powered by V-Nova compression, allows you to experience unprecedented immersion comfort compared to “standard” VR 360° movies

  • Position and orientation of the VR headset is tracked at all times inside the movie, allowing you to get closer to objects and characters as well as to look around or behind them, creating a real sense of scale and immersion

  • 6DoF eliminates the motion sickness commonly associated with VR 360° movies

  • V-Nova’s point cloud compression technology compresses the file to a small enough size to be downloaded and played on standard VR gaming set ups, finally bringing breath-taking immersion experiences to VR Gaming PCs at home

Construct VR, with a runtime of 8 minutes, is an immersive adaption of the short movie created by Kevin Margo. The PresenZ format keeps the original design and visual quality while transforming the short movie into a fully immersive experience.

Blind Drive

Blind Drive

What an interesting game. Blind drive puts you in the shoes of Donny… A guy who is blind folded and cuffed to the steering wheel of a vehicle and sent on his way down a highway against traffic. I will say nothing more on the story as I don’t want to spoil. Anyway, the gameplay is simple enough… You hear a vehicle on one side of the road, steer to the other! That’s not all though. The story takes some wild turns and puts you through many different and sometimes unexpected situations to test you. In all, the sound design is great and story is funny. For it’s price, I’d certainly have to recommend this insane and wacky journey. Sit back, relax, and happy steering!

It’s not everyday one discovers a new genre - and what a pleasant surprise it is!

Playing eyes closed, flat on my back with surround sound headphones and a wireless keyboard, Blind Drive is a wild narrative-driven adventure.

The sound effects and spatial design create an immersive atmosphere, complemented with excellent voice acting and often hilarious one-liners (“Give me a break; I’m driving blind! Can’t you see?"), while the graphics make a complete mockery of my 32:9 monitor.

For gamers who think they’ve seen it all, Blind Drive is like playing VR with your eyes closed.

This was a fun little horror game for sure:) I messed up a bit and misunderstood something and that led to some dying and alot of time walking around with no clue what to do. But thats all on me lol. All in all, fun little halloween horror game. Damn kids and their freaking candy!;) :)

This is the seedling of the ideal Halloween game, for which I’d gladly pay a big-game price. Seriously, they are onto something that is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It does have its issues though, which even at the current price, totally ruined it for me. I tried to detail exactly why in the forums; nobody likes negative feedback, but the mods deleted most of my comments, then called me insulting and toxic, and banned me. I’ve never been banned from anything before so this was bewildering. I attempted to get more information from them, but couldn’t get a response. I then asked for a refund which, since I’d played the game over 2 hours (struggling to solve a riddle), was of course denied. Steam Support failed to help. Buyer beware.

Heartless Dark

Heartless Dark

I can recommend this if you enjoy some atmosphere and an interesting challenge.

If you get over the initial learning curve the game has a lot of that ‘one more game’ feeling.

The dark and restricted vision can make it tough to navigate.

Once you get used to it then the challenge becomes not running out of ammo.

Once you get used to that the challenge becomes figuring out how to fight the monsters in interesting ways using the game systems (maybe kiting them through acid or stunning them with an exploding fire extinguisher).

A very atmospheric and lethal rogue like. You have to budget your limited ammo and life against enemies that hit hard and fast but I’ve never lost a like a run thinking there was nothing I could do about it. Finding bullets and upgrades is always rewarding.

I’m not entirely sure what I played. At first, it seemed as if I was playing a walking sim through a pretentious abstract dancing exhibit at some cliche abandoned building. There almost seemed to be some kind of suspense through out the game, as if you’re just constantly waiting for something to happen. The game itself is actually better than a lot of the lower grade games I’ve played. The strobe effects were a bit much in some spots (a unique kind of thing to have be the bulk sensory in a game, but it does mean that a certain percentage of gamers can’t play this game). My biggest issue was the story. I could definitely feel the game was trying to go for something but it kinda just fell flat. Even for an abstract game, I had to really think about what the ending could mean and I’m still lost and confused. Call me uncultured, but it was a bit too vague for my taste.

Honestly, a shocker from start to finish. The way this game manipulates lights and short looped movements is incredible. I adore the simplicity and how anxiety inducing this game gets, but the ending…hits too close to home. You get in such a loop of pausing and waiting for things to move and see where you need to go, then the ending breaks you out of that cycle and its just. 100/10. Cmon, you have 3 dollars to spare, just play it and experience the wonderful work that is kristallijn :)

I Expect You To Die

I Expect You To Die

I just finished the game, but I haven’t returned from the mission.

The level of detail and thought that the developers put into this game is obvious, you can spend some time to explore and enjoy the details or go for the speed challenge and get out as fast as possible, but you will enjoy it either way.

At first I was quite sceptical from all the reviews that were talking about how short this game is, but this is a perfect case of quality over quantity, and they delivered quality, with a great style, graphics, music, vocals and humor.

Real player with 38.6 hrs in game

honestly one of the best vr games i’ve ever played! basically you are a secret agent who must survive different situations by solving whatever puzzle and avoiding every obstacle you face. all of this is to take down the evil agency Zoraxis. here’s a detailed review of every part of the game.

Gameplay: it’s best played in a seated position as your character is sitting and you have nowhere to go really. the game is quite fast paced at certain parts and can give some quite challenging puzzles if you want to challenge your problem solving skills this is certainly one of the best games for it

I don’t think I can recommend the game. It started out a little buggy but overall it just wasn’t very scary. It was also super dark in the hallways and no flashlight so it was difficult to see. I also couldn’t get passed the second locked door. I’m not sure if it bugged but there are pretty much no instructions on what to do so you end up just stumbling through and I ended up getting stuck. I personally just don’t think this is worth the price. If you want to see some game play you can check out my video above.

I don’t necessarily know how to feel about this game just yet. There’s no direction and seemingly no plot, and it feels more like an escape game than a story-driven series. But I digress; hopefully, the developer has some cool things in store for the other chapters in this story that will be available as DLC. For now, I’ll leave you with my gameplay below. As it stands now, I can not in good faith recommend this game to other users for the price of 5$. If it were free, that would be a different story.
