How it feels

It feels like stepping into a classic storybook with playful physical interactions like climbing a giant beanstalk and handling objects in room-scale VR.

What players say

Players describe a very short VR retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk that was originally a student project. While some find the climbing intense and charming for introducing a young person to VR, most agree the visuals look dated and the experience is too brief to offer much to experienced gamers.
