PAPER BIRDS Reviews

That was nothing short of a powerful, spiritual experience - 10/10 - An amazing World to be a part of for half an hour!

[h1]Experienced on the HP Reverb G2[/h1] PAPER BIRDS is a 30 minute 360 degree cinematic short for VR with some interactions. You will need to play this on a swivel chair or standing as action will happen all around you and sometimes right in front of your eyes so you may want some room to be able to lean back as well. You can move & turn in your room-scale but there is no locomotion & there is no smooth or snap turning. It stars the voice talents of Edward Norton, Joss Stone, & Archie Yates so the voice actors are top-notch. The musical soundtrack is excellent, as well as the spatial audio. The story is a bit on the short side and therefore, lacks depth. However, given it's only 30 minutes long, I guess that's to be expected. Nonetheless, the story is engaging from start to finish. I think this story is one that can be equally enjoyed by adults and kids, although it may be a bit too dark for little ones. If you're concerned that this is a Quest-port, don't be. It looks great in PCVR. There were a few low resolution textures on some objects, but most scenes looked great on my HP Reverb G2. However, the animations were not always smooth and I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not (like maybe a stop-animation type look). It made it look like maybe the game was stuttering, but it was not, it was just the animation style. The interactions, especially at the end, were impactful. I kind of felt like I was in Fantasia and I was conducting this magical, sparkly orchestra. Experience is running on the Unity Engine. It was running at a steady 90 fps on my RTX 3080. The only issue I experienced is selecting scenes was not very responsive on WMR and took several attempts to work properly.

I absolutely loved Paper Birds. The combination of the unique story, visuals, and music in this piece make it an enrapturing VR experience. Highly recommend it if you enjoy VR stories and experiences that give you a heavy hit of emotion and fun.

Cute little movie. Perfect demonstration of use of VR in movies.Perfect to showcase VR for first time to guests.Nice visuals and sound effects.

Lovely little 30 minute VR experience that concludes in a wonderful fashion. Would love to see more stuff like this! 👍

Its a very nice journey into the story of a young musician searching for his sister. Interaction is nicely done and fits into the story. Definetly worth the small money for this 30 min VR story.

Amazing VR experience! Im a variety content creator based out of new york and i though this was beautifully done and super interactice. I played this on my oculus quest 2 and i loved it. 10/10 for me and i recommend that everyone check this beautiful story out. Hope to see more content like this from the dev @3dar.

My new favorite VR animation. It looks and sounds stunning, even better than Gloomy Eyes. Visuals style is similar to the latter: stop motion-like animation in dark environments. Lighting and framing are top notch, 360 VR medium is used to its fullest. There are some minor interactions that allow viewer to add some visual flare to some scenes. The plot is more of an outline than a full story and ending is abrupt, but that is understandable for its short length. Works on Reverb G2

Sweet game!! very lovely animation and art, i loved the soundtrack especially and the gorgeous starry skies~ Only criticism is it does lack subtitles , yes i mean CC for the hearing impaired.

Watched it on my HP Reverb G2 and it's definitely one of the best VR experiences I've had. Everything from the visuals to the sound were wonderful. 10/10 well worth $6.
