How it feels

A gentle, hypnotic flow of abstract forms and layered sound invites passive wonder and contemplative immersion.

What players say

Players say it is a short, peaceful VR experience more akin to an animated short film than a game, with beautiful underwater visuals. Most finish it in about five minutes, and some found it worked without a VR headset despite the store listing. Reviewers are split on whether it has a story, several say it has none.
