PYTHIAN
I wish I could write something positive and I really would like to support this app, but to do so I must be honest.
I joined the event short before it started. I saw some people on the plaza walking around and throwing fireballs. When it started and I entered the boat (first stage) I was all alone. It was looking like there were many people, but they were all just bots. (They had no names, were not reacting to anything…)
I restarted the program many times, read about these problems in the Stream discusssion forum, where others reported the same problem - nothing helped. I really wasn’t in the mood to try enjoying the event all alone and just wanted to fix that problem. At 20:55 I finally gave up.

Pythian offers a much needed escape in these event deprived times. The throwback events are what you would expect from a showcase of a recorded festival. They are more of a VR cinema than convey the feeling being there.
Then there are the (at the time of this review one) special live Events.
Those are specially designed as a VR festival event expierience and are nicely crafted with different maps for each dj set. Each set has something to discover and has nice light design like you would expect in a realworld event.

Discovery Yard Police is a game that takes place in the same universe created by BRUNOARTS. Now the mission is different, leaving the detective skills aside. Your goal now is to answer calls for help and resolve conflicts. On one side “Police” and on the other side “Invaders” and totally multiplayer!

Saints and Sinners is a game heavily inspired by Among Us.
You start with a maximum of 8 people, most are saints but 1 or more play as sinners.
Saints get a task list that they should complete but they also need to work together and try to figure out who the sinner is.
Sinners need to act like they do the tasks, win trust and brutally slaughter the poor saints one by one when nobody is watching them.
You communicate with each other through the in-game chat or voice chat and you can share your suspicions at any moment of the game.

Confessions
I really like the idea of this game, confess your deepest, darkest, or just plain secrets. I think for other peopls sake though, I saw the trigger warning in the games description. But I think it would be ideal to present that in the menu screen too. Also I think that It would be a cool add-on would be to change the font of the text, for an example, in the preview, there is an eerie font. But in the app, its an Ariel font.
Love the game, would recommend if you want to get something off your chest, our you’re just interested in what other people are doing. Just know, that If you are a bit sensative, do not buy. It 100% will make you reconsider buying. But I overall give this a 9/10.

DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review
Confessions is a game developed and published by Peace & Love Games
If you’re thinking this is a game, it isn’t
What it is is a software that is trying to copy what made Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to) so great and a once in a lifetime experience and change it into this platform where you can literally post your “confessions” which can be anything from harmless banter to some seriously fcked up sht
It tries to be an “interactive art installation”, but in my opinion, it’s just allowing anyone who even purchases this to write the most sadistic, twisted thoughts and views you could imagine

Planet LEV
Oh my god I love it. This is like a self contained WaveVR-esq music abstract land, and a fairly expansive one. It seems very alien, like this is where the super intelligent god beings go to hang out. I absolutely love the ability to instantly teleport from one area to the next what with the automap thing (that got stuck to my hand once and I had to restart). In this way you can really get a sense of the entire space, and there are bulidings to go into to, and alot of work is spend on the soundscapes. It’s VR, so there is a gigantic large-breasted anime lady dancing, so it checks that important box as well. Planet LEV is deliciously spacey and abstract.
! Specific areas have songs from real life artists. I saw Boris Divider on the automap. I’m not a huge fan of his work, it all sounds the same. I fell asleep to it once on a plane and woke up to it, and so his beats are endearing to me in that way. However in the current build of LEV that area is replaced with Biosphere, and I love Biosphere and overlay it on my vr videos alot. https://youtu.be/QCVLhZI43AM

Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
This is an interesting experimental art / music collaboration for VR. If you’re into experimental stuff, then you might enjoy this. I will say that I thought navigation was clunky and unintuitive. You have teleportation only (where you have to click in on the Oculus Quest 2) and no snap or smooth turning.
Starting the experiences is also very clumsy. You can teleport to these pyramid structures then point and click on them with the off-hand (the other hand is for locomotion). Then press trigger. Unfortunately, when I tried the LIVE experience, nothing happened. I assume it was because there was no live experience at that time. There’s also no information on when the live experience would be.

Odyssey: The Deep Space Expedition
As a first timer computer gamer, this experience was challenging and interesting. I played this game on a desktop computer. The finger technics were new to me and there were quite a lot to learn before I figured out how the movements work.
After all, the game was interesting with various parts and the music suited well to the environment.
Space and the spaceship are fascinating and thought-provoking.

The experience takes more than 20 minutes for sure - at least from me:)
Also I got inspired somehow about the Mars invasion generally with this VR app and its post Earth theme. Also had to watch one series about Mars from Netflix and the movie “Martian”:)
Anyway, you’ll face some challenges with the space shuttle (no spoilers here!) during the journey. But don’t panic, with a common sense you’ll survive.
The controllers work pretty ok, I’m using HTC Vives with Windows 10, GTX970 graphics card. I have not tried the multiplayer mode yet.

Excellent game! Very challenging but not impossible to figure out. The hint system is very good at pushing you in the right direction without flat out giving you the answer. I invited my friends into Discord and we all brainstormed together to figure it out. It almost felt like we were there in real life figuring out as a group which was awesome! Don’t listen to the negative reviews that were left because the game was too difficult. A lot of thought and effort went into this game and it shows.

Distant Transmission
I think this idea has a lot of potential, it’s a very fresh take on this genre of games but i really think the execution needs to be ironed out. I’m recommending this because i really do think this is such a great idea, but for example: the switching out of verbs imo really ruins it at some parts because sentences end up making 0 sense. It would a lot funnier if this game was more about improv writing exercises and then reading those out with your friends. Personally i would scrap the verb swapping entirely but i also wouldn’t mind if it was done less and the word changes had context behind them so it wouldn’t ruin every sentence.
