About
February 2, 1995 - Research Base M, Kraken Mare, Titan.
In an alternate timeline of history, where the Kennedy assassination failed and the internet was never invented, the space race continued to boom as the Soviet and US programs combined their efforts to conquer the vast mineral rich expanse beyond Earth. Handing their findings over to private companies, governments gave way to corporations who would soon establish mining & research colonies all over the Solar System. Owned by one such conglomerate, Station M is a recently built research base of RAMA Industries on the Saturn’s largest moon Titan.
A member of RAMA Industries’ research team has mysteriously disappeared. As a reserve employee of RAMA, you are sent to the windswept surface of Titan to investigate. With a large lunar storm looming on the horizon, you have no choice but to enter the base in search of answers…
P·O·L·L·E·N is an atmospheric, suspenseful and highly interactive first person sci-fi exploration game set on Saturn’s moon Titan.
Inspired by science-fiction classics such as Solaris, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the Moon, P·O·L·L·E·N’s retro futuristic world is an incredibly detailed, living-breathing environment, that feels every bit as real as the one around you. Each step in the shoes of a space mechanic will transport you into the Station M, where you can try everything you can get your hands on to solve intriguing puzzles and uncover the mysteries that lie beneath the moon’s crust.
P·O·L·L·E·N has been designed to deliver a great experience on both regular monitors and virtual reality headsets, and is set to be released spring 2016 for Windows.

POLLEN plays very pleasantly with the Vive. A little Searching and Discovering, but no heavy Puzzles that slow down the River.
The Teleport function sometimes has Problems with the Target Marking to other Heights, but this is bearable.
All in all, nice Game that feels good. I was busy a good 4-5h, which is quite ok for 15eur. Especially since I still lack some of the Collectibles, so the Exploration can be even more detailed.
Only the Sequence of felt unending psycho-kaleidoscope-like Graphics does not make Sense, nor is it even somehow appealing.

Holla the Forest fairy ..
I'm not through yet.
UPDATE am through!
LP under old Sack zogs .. P.O.L.L.E.N Bin absolutely thrilled and will return to Titan once more.
Just to find all the Bees;)-original Review-So I can't say myself in the end.
But even now I am so excited about it.
But this is partly because I find the Implementation of the Game Fantastic.
Everything is worked out with Attention to Detail.
Not only any Textures on-clenched, but you can literally feel the Love that has been invested there.
So far, I'm "there and away."
That's how I would imagine our World in this Timeline, too.
So far first ..

I'm still a bit torn at P.o.l.l.e.n. 90% of the Game is very atmospheric, the Graphics are very good, you can explore, touch, watch everything. The last 10% refer to the last 5 Minutes in the Game, since I am not sure yet whether I should keep it for ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ t or for awesome.
The Bottom Line is it's a positive Experience for me though and with the preservation of my Vive next Month I'll definitely play through it again.
As for my cinema bill, the Price is the Border. Playing Time with me 3.9 Hours, so 2 movies. The cost about 13,-the Game now 20.69,-that is, even more slightly cheaper.
All in all, though, I'd rather recommend waiting for a Sale, unless you're a hard-hitting Sci-Fi Fan.

P · O · L · L · E · N is a very atmospheric Game with a (for me) very interesting setting and top Graphics. The Speakers are well set to music, the German Translation (Texts) are very well written. I have P · O · L · L · E · N played without the VR mode, the Controls are very pleasant and fun (many Heads and Switches that can be operated in the Game:)).
I reached the End after about three Hours (including complete Exploration and audio logs/Texts). The End is a Matter of Taste, one could call it art possibly the End also indicates a "Continuation." Stylistically, the Ending reminds me of Interstellar (Film).
Everything in the Allen, I would recommend The Game to anyone who is on this Setting and has nothing against a walking simulator/exploration game.
For £23€ I find it too expensive For the game time on offer, but for €12 I struck and didn't regret it (nice to relax to get down in the Evening).
