i have not yet completed the game yet, but i also herd the story is actually really good, i will need to complete the game to get my own thoughts on it but if true, it can be put in the VERY few pile of VR games that have a good story to them. (god we need more of them)
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
The character switching is also pretty neat, It makes traversing and exploring the house kinda fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
The stylized, cartoon-inspired visuals remain intact, but their exaggerated proportions and strange layouts feel more personal and threatening when you are physically present within them, giving the game a stronger horror-adjacent atmosphere than many of its flat-screen predecessors.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
The game excels at these moments, using sound design, spatial awareness, and player-controlled movement to generate suspense without relying heavily on jump scares.
