Game’s Story:
An Ancient Tale Told by the Elders of Trem
While defending his sovereign realm and in defense of his people’s land, the brave and mighty golden-haired King of Trem slay Tazven—the strongest of all iron-clad opponent soldiers. What the King of Trem did not know is that Tazven was the sinister Sorcerer Leartnom’s only son. The Sorcerer, of the opposing mountain kingdom village of Yekrut, hidden between the Serpent Sea and the dark pine trees of Adanac, vowed to take revenge on the King for his grave mistake of slaying his son—which could not be forgiven—even in battle.
In vengeance, Sorcerer Leartnom cursed King Trem’s only child—a raven-haired daughter, Princess Julia. The curse imprisoned her in the castle dungeon with a power so great that her lungs would be pierced with shards of metal should she dare step outside of her cell. Once the king came to visit his daughter and deceptively attempted to remove his daughter from the dungeon by means of a hidden spiral staircase that was only known to the servants. But soon he found that his daughter’s breath was sucked from her lips with such sharp pain that her screams echoed in the guard’s armored helmets. Condemned to the cavernous halls of the castle’s bowls, Princess Julia was never to see daylight again until the curse was broken.
The King promised to give his throne to any man who could save his daughter from this dreadful fate of imprisonment just beneath his own feet in the castle dungeon on the Isle of Trem. Many soldiers and adventurers failed trying to save Princess Julia.
Until one day, after a terrible storm in the Serpent Sea, the Pirate Magician Yapla found himself washed up on the island Kingdom of Trem. He was the sole survivor of his shipwreck. The Pirate Magician Yapla realized that the only way out off of the island was to open the massive castle drawbridge with the wizard wand which was hidden by Sorcerer Leartnom in Princess Julia’s cell. Further intrigued by the prospect of being king, the Pirate Yapla embarked on an adventure through the castle’s dungeons to save himself and the cursed Princess Julia.

Stones of Harlath
8.5/10
One of the best VR Experiences I’ve found, the game doesn’t try to be something it’s not. It feels like an Old School Retro modernized and made to immerse you.
There are always small things with new games that need improvements, but with this game it’s more of just QoL fixes, for example the Fire Places are extremely Loud and not connected to the Audio Settings, even with everything at the lowest and only Dialogue Volume up it still over powers the Dialogue Audio I’ve experienced, as well as the Crypt that you’re sent into by Friar Lyle, the end boss has Whispers that are also extremely loud not connected to Audio Settings, if it went away when you killed him it would not only be a QoL fix but improve Immersion.

Moor
Game provided early by Dev through Curator. Follow Imperial Reviews!
With the updates that the Dev has done, I can say the game is way more fun to play! I made edits to the review.
Moor caught my attention from it’s pixelated graphics, and the promise of a first person roguelite, the kind of games I tend to really enjoy. So with that I gave it a go, and being honest, it was a very mixed bag.
Let’s start with the positives. The graphics are great. The levels are built well and have lots to explore. The ambient music is great, even if it’s just royalty free music that I’ve heard before, but fit in with the game and world very well. Sounds are good and fit. Nothing to really complain there. The odd puzzle or platforming section you encounter feels great when you figure it out and get that chest at the end. Killing monsters give you XP, though it gives you a very small amount at the beginning of the game, like sometimes you could get to the 3rd floor before you even hit level 2. Thankfully once you get further you fight more enemies and harder enemies that give slightly more XP. Each level gives you a skill point so you can increase a stat like health, stamina, mana, damage, and armor. It’s simple but works as intended.

This game has a certain charm and I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately I can’t recommend it, all things considered.
It is a small roguelite with permadeath and random dungeon generation, made mostly by one man. It has retro graphics, quite somber mood and some nice premade locations. Derelict chambers of the castle seem to tell a story of a forgotten kingdom buried under the earth and there are some light environmental puzzles as well. However, overall the game is not that fun to play.

Naau: The Lost Eye
Played on an Index. The game is in early access but has a good amount of content to offer. I would say not speed running the game could be completed in ~ 15 hours. Fun and interactive ways to beat each of the different enemies bosses to battle. There are bugs fixes and game play balance the developers have mentioned are working to bring to the game. They have a discord and are acceptive on feedback. The current weapon selection is good but could be improved upon. Some of the other reviews have mentioned the breaking or loss of weapons but a full play through found it wasn’t too much of a problem and can see it easily be improved when more balancing is done. Plot is a lacking but I feel is made up by the interesting and vast environments.

A fantasy puzzle adventure game with an Indiana Jones feel.
I was a beta tester for this game so was lucky enough to play it before it’s now released in Early Access. I have really been enjoying playing though it.
I very much recommend this one to everyone with VR! I feel like this game has something for almost everyone.

Rolf
Rolf is an indie game that has fun cuphead/Mario vibes. It is full of fun fast paced levels that are challenging to beat. But even though the levels are challenging, you will quickly learn the fun mechanics of the game. If you have enjoyed playing cuphead or enjoy other platformers such as mario this is the game for you.
