I've followed you and this project on Twitter for some time. It's a thing to see the videos, and an other one to experience it in VR! I really like the idea of diorama and puppeteering, it's original and works perfectly with this medium. The blocky and no-texture visual works because of all the details, especially with the lighting.

The gameplay is really cool, but I felt frustrated at times, mostly during battle: I couldn't use the inventory, and it felt quite clunky because I didn't know when I could attack someone, and I sometimes gave the answer to go close to the enemy instead of fighting him. It was especially hard because I couldn't familiarize myself as the battle started instantly without a tutorial.

But during the chill introduction, it was really cool to find all the details and interactions! The magnifying glass is also a really cool idea

Keep up the great work :)!

Aw thanks so much! That is super nice to hear, glad it lives up to the little twitter captures : D. I hear you on the battle system, it’s my main focus right now. So hard to create something that’s both simple, yet engaging, but slowly getting somewhere! Next version should be way more clear, in fact, you’ll be able to always issue commands, but pay the price by having it go down the queue. No more “why can’t I do this?” I hope : ).

Thanks for the kind words! Hope to have you play the next version before long : ).
