Madrid Noir Reviews

Its a Little adventure experience . Unrevealing mystery in the eyes of young women is great. Experienced in Quest 2

Best vr movie ive seen,nice story with a proper ending unlike most vr movies than seem to be rushed at the end,it has some light interactions really well integrated,the art style its awesome and well animated,they did a great job,short but sweet u should watch it especially if u are from madrid.

Just a wonderful experience, all around. From the great animation and art style, to the masterful use of light, sound, and interaction, everything was interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommend giving this a go.

What a novel way of storytelling. Little interactive elements which aren't overly complicated and technical to keep you engaged. It was really well implemented and the art style and animation were great. It was a little confusing about the hand options at the start as that wasn't really explained but that didn't seem to matter. As always with Oculus based games the hands are misaligned when using the valve index controllers but this doesn't affect the interaction based elements too much. This is certainly the kind of experience I will look out for in future.

Starts off a bit slow. Wish there was more interactivity like the flashlight scenes. But overall a well animated VR Film with excellent voice acting. I'd grab it on a sale though.

Overall an enjoyable experience but be aware the highlight of the experience is the animation while the story and voice acting are just acceptable. The animation and cinematic feel was top tier compared to the majority of VR entertainment options. I do hope this studio makes more media to enjoy, though hopefully they work on dialogue a bit more. 90% of this experience is listening to a narrator rather than the characters themselves.

Well crafted VR short film with minor interactions. It's about 40 minutes long which is almost twice as big as most VR animations. Cartoony visuals are very stylish and sharp, look great from the opening credits till the very end. And the music is just perfect for the Noir genre. The game works on Reverb G2 with default controller bindings. But it looks like the native super sampling is way too high on it: on 100% Steam super sampling it is noticeably lagging on 6800 XT. But when you set it on 60-70% SS, lag goes away while image does not get less sharp at all.

Madrid Noir is an interactive VR experience telling the story of a young girl named Lola as she pretends be a detective around the city of Madrid, during the summer she lives with her weird uncle. As the story unfolds and clues reveal themselves, the stakes are raised dramatically and there is a great on-foot chase sequence. The story is super cute, with a lot of very nice animation to match the excellent voice acting. For those that haven’t seen a VR experience before, they’re pretty straightforward. They will almost always be less than an hour’s worth of narrative content where players engaging in the story through minor interactions. These often are things like pushing buttons or pointing items at the action. Sometimes these are optional, but I find they help add to the sense of presence of the films. Madrid Noir, for example, had a scene where we had to aim a flashlight in the dark to help Lola find her way before it would proceed to the next scene. It’s worth noting that this particular experience did require players to stand so that players could turn in the directions the experience wanted us to be in, to see the characters. I find this kind of setup to be demanding and rude towards its audience- Snap rotation is a standard across almost all of the VR industry, so I don’t know why a developer would choose to exclude the feature when it means the difference between a seated or standing game. Accessibility matters, even in VR, people! I really did adore the experience, however. Lola and her uncle were great, and I love the animation style so very much. This wasn’t the studio’s first VR experience, as they have previously produced Battlescar and Gloomy Eyes. I can tell Madrid Noir was made by a team of professionals, and I am hoping for more along these lines of quality. Recommended.

The story is enjoyable but i think it's music, animation and art design that really make this a great interactive movie. Worth the money as this the best VR animation i have watched so far.

Nice little detective story about mysterious uncle. It is not a game, more like an experience, with few small interactions. Played on HP Reverb G2 with Index controllers. I had to lower resolution to 50% (otherwise the game crashed right after launching) but it still looked great and sharp and felt like it is still at 100% resolution.
