CONSORTIUM VR Reviews

An immersive Sci-fi Murder Mystery VR game taken place in futuristic aircraft. I haven't finished it yet but it feels great so far. In term of the plot, this is giving me Murder on Orient Express vibe, and also Doctor Who vibe (Mummy on Orient Express and some other episodes). It's a good game. You can select a choice by saying it out loud, and it doesn't have to match every words on the script. You can say something that has the same meaning and AI will (probably) select similar choice. An example of improvise gone-wrong-> Me:"Sorry I didn't know I can do that" >>> Game:"I can do whatever I want"

Played on quest 3 through steam link, gtx 1080 (not ti) A small immersive Sim lite game with a ton of emphasis on player choice. Branching dialogue options that can actually impact the story, as can your actions in gameplay. Gameplay is first person, there are FPS mechanics but combat is avoidable depending on how you want to handle it. Voice acting is for the most part really good (there's one monotone character- it might be on purpose). There's a nice diversity to the voices that first the theme of the game too -if your a fan of the next generation like I am you might like this game. The lore is initially confusing (by design) but it gets spelled out as you progress and you have access to a database which is....dense, and I feel it could be organised better but it's not essential to the game and I barely used it, this is where the bulk of the controversial ai art can be found. The graphics are basic at best... But found it ran extremely well even on my aging rig, so this could easily be a plus. I never felt sick apart from one moment I got turned around in an optional maze. There's an optional voice command system that allows you to speak out dialogue choices. On the default setting I didn't like reading this out verbatim as it broke the immersion but turn down the recognition setting and you can ad-lib the line to what feels natural and this was so much fun for immersion. I found it didn't work all of the time but most of the time. As mentioned it's a small game but I feel the joy is in the replay ability and in failing/succeeding in different ways. Looking forwards to the sequel.
