A wonderful little Masterpiece about Hopelessness, Destiny, Repentance and Forgiveness. Artfully staged, at the End and breathtaking. A look-on system of Transport Drives the Story forward.

Those who can inspire pure Experiences, such as "Allmuette" (like me), will probably also like "Manifesto 99."
I may not have understood the Told story correctly but interestingly implemented is the short (about 20 min) and surreal Journey definitely.
Points 7.5/10

An unusual Train Ride Manifesto 99 revolves around four anthropomorphic Protagonists making their final Journey to Their deaths on a mysterious Train. We're supposed to find out in the roughly 25-minute VR experience why the individuals got to this Point and what connects them. The movement takes place by Teleporting Ourselves to the Form of Crows fluttering on the Train. The only other Possibility of interaction is to Apply to the Personal Belongings of the Protagonists, revealing Details of them. As a result, Manifesto 99 is not really a Game, but much more of a purely visual Experience. The Story leaves a lot Of Interpetation room for Manoeuvre and, in the short Space of time, failed to make me feel really connected to the Characters. Nevertheless, it comes to a really nice End, which can also make you a bit thoughtful.
Visually, I really liked the Experience with his stylish, artistic Style, successful Staging and Expressive Animations. The slightly eerie but for my Feeling never drifting into the Unpleasant Drifting mood is further enhanced by the excellent Soundtrack. Since you have the Tempo of the Story in your own Hands through the teleport function, you can also look around in Peace and let the Surroundings have an effect on you. An Advantage over other VR experiences of this Kind, in which from time to time a lot happens at the same time or in quick Succession. All in all, almost five Euros are for the short Duration and the low Interactivity but still a lot of Money, so maybe the Wait for a Sale is possible.
Verdict Manifesto 99 is an artistic, atmospheric staged VR experience, but it is not able to fulfil its full story potential, even due to its small length.
