theBlu (re-launch)

Very impressive passive experience series about habitants of the oceans, released 6 years ago on PC VR platforms as paid app, a bit reworked and re-arranged as free-to-play product with separate DLC's

Strong sides:

  • Really pure visual look
  • Totally different scenes
  • Passive gameplay - great for introducing VR
  • Very impressive
  • Brand new episode as paid DLC

Weak sides:

  • Overall price increased
  • Deterioration of main menu compared to the original version
  • Quite short scenes
  • Free version includes only single short scene

Summary and conclusion:

A nice try to relaunch one of the classic apps (with some cons), nice to introduce users that never used VR before. A good possibility to the audience who never owned the original app to obtain it for free.

Paradiddle v.1.0

Absolutely perfect drum simulator with peripheral support, light tutorial system and rhythm game with wide range of possibilities and huge potential

MARE

Atmospheric and esthetic kind of VR point-and-click adventure with steampunk vibes and light story
