Lame combat too.. It was not worth its original asking price of $20, but at $3 or $1.5 it's definitely worth it! Pros:Graphics - there's a huge area to explore and it all feels very "alien"Voice Acting - the acting is good and the writing is cleverPrice vs playtime - the whole game took me about 1.5-2 hrs to completeChapter select featurePuzzlesCons:None. I can honestly say this is one of the best games I've played on the Vive. It's beautiful, funny, with a great soundtrack and an unrivalled sense of exploration. So many games offer escapism, but the worlds they contain are so predictable. This has a sense of genuine awe, wonder and alienation. This game offers slick locomotion, simple but rewarding puzzles and an amazing sense of scale.The only thing I'd criticise is the lack of a save option; the bookmark system is a bit obtuse. But really, that's it in terms of negatives. For this price, it's utterly essential. Can't wait to see what else these devs come up with.. Don't buy this until they add a save game feature.. It was not worth its original asking price of $20, but at $3 or $1.5 it's definitely worth it!

This game will make you sick faster than sticking your finger down your throat.I spent endless minutes walking around (mostly with my eyes closed) trying to figure out what I was supposed to do.Sorry guys, I require at least a modicum of fun within the first 15 minutes or I'm out.. This is actually a wonderfully immersive and original game. I agree that there are some problems with gameplay, but as a fellow developer on Steam, I know how hard gameplay is to nail down correctly. There was obviously a tremendous amount of love and vision put into the product. It really delivers the dream world aspect and I love the 'larger than life' statues and structures. This is like a David Lynch film -which is a TON for me to say seeing as he's my favorite director - because not everyone will love it, not everyone will get it and not everyone will get through it, but you can't say it's not compelling and original.
