How it feels

Playing feels like stepping into a zany cartoon detective adventure where you physically interact with a chaotic, funny world through VR.

What players say

Players split on this VR title, but many say it is a short minigame collection rather than a proper adventure. Bugs and frustrating controls plague several minigames, especially the bomb one, and the $30 price feels steep for the amount of content. Fans appreciate the writing and seeing the characters up close, but most find the gameplay disappointing.
