How it feels

An intense VR shooter where you control a phoenix-like weapon through chaotic, narrative-driven sci-fi battles across collapsing timelines.

What players say

Players praise this as a narrative-driven on-rails shooter that controls like a marionette, with a campaign lasting about 3-4 hours. Some note the graphics are low-poly as a Quest port, and that it is not fully supported on the Valve Index.
