What players say

Players describe it as a charming VR sandbox for kids set in a cozy room, with a story projector, drawing board, and toys to interact with. Some note it has a special glow when teleporting, but world-pushing when moving the head can cause motion sickness. Reviews split on the button mapping, with Oculus Touch users reporting awkward menu navigation. Free demo is very short.
