Innocent Forest: The Bird of Light Reviews

KInetic Novel that takes approximately one hour to finish (mostly spent reading text and clicking next). Good storyline but nothing groundbreaking, and the VR format isn't really justified (it could also have been a flat game without any major issue). But still, for the price it's a nice way to spend an evening. Played with a WinMR headset without any issue, except the screen freezing for a few seconds while the engine gets the sound file (when clicking the voice icon).

Tis nice when i find a little hidden gem somewhere in the wilds. This I can say is one of them. Its clearly not for everyone being a linear visual novel with minimal 3D interaction... luckily i am a fan of linear VNs. But if you are not a fan of immersive picture stories with relaxing music I don't think this is for you. But honestly I am glad I found this, honestly for 5$ (also the sequel) its not the worst thing to throw my money at. The story is cute, not attempting to be groundbreaking. I enjoyed it for what it was, seems this writer likes to pull tear jerkers towards the end. I found everything it did effective and was only as long as it needed to be. I see most people complaining about the VR elements being minimal, but honestly I had no problem with this. It interacts like most VNs. The main thing I found this to do was heighten my immersion. I tend to get more immersed in novels than i do in most games, VNs especially suck me in. So being in the scene helped a lot to cement it. Game is good, I plan to check out the developers other games now.

Absolute waste of time. One VR scene that I bothered to make it though. (Had to click though like 60 pages of text) There is no Gallery to relive VR scenes. NOT meant to be played sitting in a chair. for a while I thought the game broke as all I could see is black. User interface is buggy and often times would not allow me to click where I wanted to. What is the point of a VR main menu that does not have intuitive controls in a game where 99% of the time you are reading a book? Just make a flat option screen. Don't expect some busty elf to come through the door either. There is nothing here for you.

This story is usually dirt cheap, and while it is rather predictable and doesn't take full advantage of VR, being there in the story adds so much. I feel like a few more scenes could have gotten an animation, or at least a 3D modeled space, but the story was nice enough I can forgive it.

It's a short kinetic novel that's primarily reading. Nothing groundbreaking and the VR aspect is present though minimal; that said it is a nice little story.

Both games (Innocent Forest 1 and 2) were amazing, funny enough I played them in the wrong order, but honestly I think playing 2 first then 1 made more of an impact, absolutely amazing story, had me holding back tears in both games, highly recommended for those that enjoy visual novels, quite reminds me of "key"'s Visual novels.

this one is either totally bugged on my system (tried two different HS) or just a terrible game the game does not look like on the screenshots in the description! - there are absolutely no animations whatsoever - all rooms & environments are empty, no characters, no objects, nothing - a greyish circle with text inside is floating, covering most of the view - to play dialog (if any present) i have to press on the glowing button - why? and why would i want to? and who is telling that? there are no chars visible anyway! this is not a 'visual novel', but just a 'novel' - not worth any money

[h1] Intro [/h1] Do you have a memory you want to forget? This game will bring you through stuff [h1] What I like [/h1] - Art is nice - The girl is cute - Short story (Took me about 1hour 30minute to finish the novel) - one of a kind as I couldn't find another series that is a VR Visual novel. - wholesome - I would say worth the cost [h1] What I don't like about the game [/h1] - [spoiler] The feeling I am feeling now [/spoiler] - All voices text are read at one go, even if there are text inbetween [h1] Streamer POV[/h1] - Since this game requires VR, i wasn't able to set up a system where i can read chat in game. Played game on https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1545528287 [h1] Others [/h1] I am still feel it after finishing the game

Well I'm glad that somhow anime games are made but it's only 15 second of 3d animation of this character that is in the trailer . Rest , about 200 pages are like riding book. I'm not satisfied but I give thumbs up . Hope when creators will have more money meaby next time the will make something better. 360 few scenes are unexpectly poor somehow Graphic meaby is not fully prepared to be in 360 view. If you are prepared that this doeasn't have more then 15 second of 3D aniamtion and other cutscene about another 20 second of animation and you are prepared that this is like reading book only then you can give it a try.

Positive: + Game worked perfectly fine on my Oculus Rift. + Art Design (very simplistic but in a good way, I liked it). + Great voice acting. + Story telling, the environment and the sounds work hand in hand, made me feel immersed. + Short, but sweet storyline. Negative: - Only two animated scenes - Not all dialogue is voice acted (feels weird to hear the protagonist in one sentence just to read the next sentence in silent because it wasn't voice acted. If I would have to guess I would say about 80-90% of the dialogue IS voice acted though, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me personally). Overall, I enjoyed this game. The 90 minutes of playtime (in my case, it obvioulsy depends on how fast of a reader you are) are well worth the $3.99 and I would love to see more games of that kind!
