If you're unable to enjoy real nature, this is a good substitute, esp if you're lazy AF. There isn't much else beyond what you see in the preview. While I think this game should be listed as $1.99, its current price of $2.99 (Aug 2023) isn't horrible.

This is one of the most innovative nature walking simulators in VR. It has procedurally generated forests which are infinite. Every other "walk in the woods" app that I have played has had an artificial boundary, this app has removed that boundary. You can get lost in the woods. This app has made the dream of the Star Trek holodeck a reality.
Currently, you only have the forest seed. However, there is an almost infinite variation to the forest with different topography (elevations) and vegetation. There are many different tree species and sizes, along with different grass & shrubs, rocks, mushrooms, branches, and even floating pollen & falling leaves.
Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting an average of 89 fps. You do have full locomotion and snap turning only. I did not experience any serious issues or bugs, however, I did see some graphical glitches. Those graphical glitches included some pop-in, some jaggies in the distance on the edge of objects (poor anti-aliasing?), & a weird glowing white line on the ground.
Despite the issues, walking through the forest was the one of the most immersive experiences I have ever had in VR. I got lost in the woods. I have never experienced that before in VR. While this isn't the best looking or sounding VR relaxation app / nature walking sim, it looks & sounds realistic enough to be totally immersed.
[b]Rate 9/10. I paid only $2 USD on the steam release sale, turns out this is one of the most innovative apps in VR.[/b]

Played with the Oculus Quest 2 with no issues. Very peaceful and a great way to relax. Keep in mind that this is early access and it is limited at this time of this review as to what you will see. More to come. The sounds of animals and insects are a wonderful addition. I give it a thumbs up 👍
