I love it! The Artstyle is beatiful and the Storytelling is well made.
Just a reminder: this is not an Interactive Game, it is a short movie made by google.
It's free so try it out.

A beautiful VR experience that plunges us into a touching story. Accompanied by a more than magnificent soundtrack, this experience will transport you very far.
Sit in your seat and let yourself be guided!

You shouldn't publish such emotional Films in VR. Otherwise you howl your Glasses full.
A very beautiful musical Journey through the Lives of two People.
Should have been seen.
But Beware Handkerchief.

For me it's the best VR short film yet. Maybe because I'm a car guy, maybe 'cause of the great story telling, maybe because Google made it. I don't know. What I do know is that it's free and you should give it a try. PS: Sit down before you start it, it's a sitting vr expierience.

Pearl is not actually a Game. It's a Story told in a Kind Of Music video. It's not interactive, though the "Game" is said to have won an Emmy for it. Still, I can only recommend the Experience. It is a very beautiful Form of short Film and through the VR you experience the Film in an unfamiliar way. It is free and does not last long, so nothing is lost if you don't like it that way. I'm hoping for more Stories of this Nature.

Pearl-Like life, Pearl tells the Story of a music-loving Father and his adolescent Daughter. The two's time-changing Relationship with each other is atmospheric in the Course of the good five-minute Experience with meaningful scenes. The Build-up, with its fast-changing Scenes, is very similar to that of a classic Music video-with the Difference that VR support creates a much stronger mittendrine feel. Visually, Pearl likes it with many Details, strong Character Design and expressive Animations. A real Game, on the other hand, cannot be expected, because the Interaction is limited to the free Circumstance.
FAZIT: Pearl is a successful, atmospheric mix of indie music and Coming-of-age story!
