I like the concept
We’ve already thought about the idea since we’ve already got VR, but the game is about expanding VR to include all the senses.
That means when you step into your favorite game you’re going to feel every detail that touches your skin, you’re going to taste the tavern swill you buy, you’re going to smell the farming lifestyle around you, and of course you’ll have sight and hearing.
But that’s in regards to gaming.
This game takes the concept of immersive VR to another level, and that’s to enhance what you might do as a profession. Such as with the chef. If she could use this VR technology to test recipes, then she could come up with new ones without wasting ingredients in the real world.
Bearing that in mind, you can do and learn a lot, depending on what your focus is.
Variety of characters
And you’re either going to like them or hate them.
Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the neuroscientist, because I see a neurologist for my headaches and migraines, and heaven forbid someone thinks he’d be a great guy to tinker around with your head.
But there are six characters, excluding the one you play as, and each one of them has their own look, their own profession, and their own personality. It’s really easy to tell each of them apart from the others, which I really like, considering I suck with keeping people straight. I mean, I might not remember their names, but I do know which is which and who I like and who I don’t.
They each use the VR trial in their own ways, some sticking to their profession and others not so much, which makes it more interesting.
Short
It’s definitely a short visual novel; I completed it in a little over an hour and that was from me streaming and reading the lines aloud, so it might be shorter for you if you’re a fast reader. I didn’t feel like the game was too short for the storyline. I think it ended on an interesting note.
At least for the first ending I got.
There are multiple endings for this game, if you’re curious on more routes.
