What players say

Players describe a VR walking simulator focused on exploring a cave system by possessing creatures to solve puzzles. They consistently say the game is beautiful but lacks clear guidance on what to do, often causing frustration. Some have trouble with Valve Index controllers, and reviews note a small learning curve for the controls.
