Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Certainly recommend for anyone looking for a nice vr puzzle game to play, it's also available for oculus Quest if you want to use that!
13 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The difficulty curve is also planned out nicely and encourages creativity, the visuals look good where they need to be and its entertaining to watch your ideas succeed or fail.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Might be that i simply lost it but it would be nice that items that fall on the floor automatically go into your inventory so you dont have to get down to get it (There is a undo function but this is just a quality of life thing)

Graphics

The graphics of the game look nice if a little bland.
5 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Since it's possible to move forward, backward, up, down and snap left and right using your controller and grip buttons, it's entirely possible to play it while seated.
