This is bar-none the best hand-tracking experience in VR. It's also one of the best walking simulators in VR. The biggest criticism I have of the game is that it's not very long. It took me about 98 minutes to complete the game. However, it's a well-told and well-paced cosmic horror / body horror narrative-driven experience.
What makes this game special is the very smart use of hand-tracking. WARNING: I believe hand-tracking only works on the Meta Quest 3. I can only confirm it works using link cable. The hand-tracking here is not a gimmick, but an essential part of the story and gameplay that further immerses into the narrative.
The other criticism I have of the game is that the snap turning with the thumb pointing left or right is rather cumbersome, because the degree of turn is so small. Other than that though, the hand-tracking interactions are mostly very immersive. It's the shining example of what is possible with hand-tracking. If you're a VR veteran like me, this is a must play which shows the path forward for other game devs on what is possible.
The writing is excellent. The voice actors all did a great job. Game has a good soundtrack as well. If you love walking simulators, I think you'll enjoy this game. It reminded me a lot of What Remains of Edith Finch in how smart the narrative & interactions intertwined for a fully immersive experience.
