How it feels
A free-to-play VR shooter set in a high-tech automated colony where you investigate what went wrong, feeling like a lone explorer in a sterile, malfunctioning industrial paradise.

What players say
Players praise the graphics and atmosphere but are split on the demo's length, some find it too short while others see it as generous. The weapon durability system is controversial: it forces constant swapping from an inventory cube, which many find clunky and disruptive to the action. Movement and strafing feel uneven, causing motion sickness for some, and the game lacks checkpoints.
