a big galley is playing to activate an in-game gamepad. I'm asking for a padding. I uninstall is game. that will have to be just free so it's frustrating to play with.

A game that promises but remains far from finalized. Many bugs, a much too loud audio tape. The developers have clearly released an alpha version. It's a shame to take VR players for pigeons...

After my first bad Criticism it now also funacts great with the Touchcontrollers, is very entertaining, varied and then when it ended, I was kind of sad. Graphic also looks great. You Can recommend for the Price. :)

Atm extremely buggy (scripting hangs story doesn't go on sometimes, but solte no alzuschweer to be patched and when a function for turning autoturns comes up will be you even more weird in the stomach otherwise quite entertaining is worth the par euros on any case

Recommending this to all my friends. It's nice to just float around exploring the station (and man... the graphics), but the action part especially is incredible and the most intense thing you can experience in VR right now. A bit short and a couple of glitches that are hopefully sorted soon, but definitely worth picking up.

Product received for free Idea is good, but the Controls are so poorly implemented that I had to stop playing. Motion Sickness Danger is immensely high, even for diehard VR fans! No Recommendation!

Another Demo. Short Experience and nothing interesting in a space station. I'Ll Put the highlights, it doesn't deserve an analysis. -Controls are not accurate when it comes to interacting with objects. -It Seems that there are some bugs at some point in the development of the game. -Boring replayability-Caro Do Not lose time and money, I bought it at 75% discount and still regret it. It Should be FREE, as is. For a portfolio or curriculum is fine, but to fill Steam of ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ As no, thank you. If you like the genre, buy Adr1ft.

I played 30 minutes and it was the worst 30 minutes on VR I had. The game is rather beautiful, if you have a PC from NASA... The controls are not at all intuitive, I am not a player who likes to be told or to seek but the, the objective said to find a book when in actually I had to move the control stick thank you to tell me the right way... Ah and by the way, a game that closes (crash) 3 times in 30 minutes and having to retype all it does not want to play. Frankly the game would be huge, if the controls was better and that the game did not lag. Or even if it was free.
