A Ton Of Feathers

someone once asked me, "Hey, I want to experience reality from the perspective of a dementia patient who took PCP, you got any ideas?" So i recommended them this game. The police found them dead in their apartment 2 weeks later. 10/10

What the hell did I just witness?

i loved everything about A Ton of Feathers. it's a fascinating, mind-warping VR experience. it's a fantastic story wrapped up in a package of wild, gorgeous visuals and great audio. it's the closest thing to a VR take on "The Beginner's Guide" i've seen yet. (plus maybe a hint of The Magnus Archives) i wish i'd paid more than 76 cents for this, because it's absolutely worth more than that. if you can handle the intensity of this VR game, i highly recommend picking it up!

Played on Oculus Rift S: A Ton of Feathers is a weird and inventive VR experience with some excellent psychological horror and great meta-commentary on the struggle of development and the game industry. It is really good and worth playing even though it is so short.

It made me feel something. They could have done a lot more. Take this as inspration to make something of your own.

If this is in the scope of what you look for in VR like me, add this one.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Some great voice work by the lone actor, and the power in some of the vignettes, makes this like being inside the most intense of radio plays. But you're there. And where you are is a very odd place indeed, flexing and fleeing around themes of existential dread as it does, only occasionally resting in dells of relationships and redemption. Playful one minute and pinned to the spot the next. Every single rule on VR comfort and presentation is broken at points in pursuit of that. And it works. It's like crack for a VR addict. Someone just telling their stories first and foremost, not worrying about whether that means occluding your view, or breaking the laws of physics when they feel like that too. The music was super fitting underneath it all. The whole thing was like a game / narrative made by Daniel Johnston, if I actually liked Daniel Johnston's stuff. There's positional audio in there, and physics interactions at various points. But essentially you're the game object watching everything in the round. I almost want to say it breaks some kind of fifth wall. Yeah, I liked it :D --- [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKEbLQuRIfc&feature=youtu.be]Quick vibe vid - but honestly the trailer on the store page captures it best[/url]

[h1]I paid less than a dollar for this. Otherwise I'd be pretty mad right now. [/h1] The narrative, such as it is, was almost incoherent to me. Jumping from one "sketch" to the next without much tying them together. Some sections are nausea-inducing from implied motion. Others have a lot of headache-inducing flashing lights. I can't tell if this is bad performance art or a parody of bad performance art. But it's altogether a messy experience. Instead, I suggest you spend half an hour sitting and meditating in silence. It will probably be much healthier for you.
