A first-person VR adventure where you physically trace ancient symbols in the air to cast spells, exploring richly detailed environments with a seamless walking system.

What players say
Players describe it as a short, story-driven VR puzzle game that feels like a prologue. The spellcasting and movement are janky, with no native joystick support, and the final combat is tough. It is free since 2018, and reviewers call it one of the better free VR titles on Steam.
