Far too short for $5, practically no story. It's a tech demo, not a "film". Very cool visuals though.
edit: refund offerered, totally recommended at the new price!

I'm all for supporting indies, but at 3.99 I'm surprised it took approx 20 people to make this. It's padded out with floating objects which in vr is the norm, and there's literally no story to it. Had high hopes for this - the trailer is basically the 'game'.
It is beautifully done though, and if it had been longer and more involving probably would have paid a little more for it, too.

Not really a game. It's an observable short film in VR.
It's a very charming story, and not very long either. It's perfect for those brand new to the VR experience.

Update - Now that the developer has changed the price, I would highly recommend this. I can't wait to see other experiences from this developer, that's for sure.
While this is cute and I'm looking forward to more shorts like this in VR, I can not recommend this at $5. It's only a couple of minutes in legth and you are done so you are paying over a $1/minute If you see it on sale, say 50% or more off, then I would definently say check it out. There are much better expierences at this price point and below.
