Lover of narrative based games, the better the story the better I like it. Though I am not above a solidly designed rouglike with no real story but amazing gameplay.

This is one of the best VR games I have played. A lot of VR games are either quite short one shot experience or games that are meant to be short sessions games you play over and over (Beat Sabre, Pistol Whip ect), but this definitely feels like a fully fledged game.

The story is a time hopping adventure that sees you going to various points in history trying to restore the timeline back to how it is supposed to be all the while being opposed by the forces that changed the timeline in the first place. It really is an adventure game at its heart and while there are some action type shooting sequences, the game is mainly focused on exploring the environment and gathering clues and items to help you progress past the various puzzles blocking your progress. The story is very engaging and I found the puzzle solutions to be logical.

The graphics are excellent for such a small team. I mean they are good in general but that this is from a small indie dev team makes it doubly impressive. Sound and music are also good and the voice acting is also high quality, especially from Sam, the sentient flying watch thing that is your main companion who will comment on the goings on and also offer you hints on how to progress.

If you like puzzle focused 3D adventure flatscreen titles I think you will like this, its well written and the puzzles make sense. There are no nonsensical moon logical puzzles and they also aren't brain breaking (like say The Witness) but there are enough challenging ones to make you feel smart when you have your eureka moment.

I don't mind those shorter two hour VR experiences and without things like Beat Sabre and Pistol Whip I would probably never get any exercise, but its lovely to have a VR game that feels like a full proper video game. For feeling like it has something substantial to offer VR players this is up there for me with Walking Dead Saints and Sinners and Asgard's Wrath. At around 10 to 12 hours, its not quite as long as either of those games, but neither of those offer quite the same puzzle solving narrative adventure that this does.

If any of this sounded interesting to you, I can't recommend this enough. I hope games like this become the standard of what we expect from our VR games, not just glorified tech demos or ways to get your lazy ass to exercise, but fully fledged video games that happen to use VR as their medium.

8/10.
