BCI VR Horror Attraction: The Mad Trail

BCI VR Horror Attraction: The Mad Trail is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This is a basic VR tech demo with a bunch of "borrowed" assets from the Unity Asset Store, one example of which is the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/creepy-pumpkin-monster-158098]Creepy Pumpkin Monster[/url] asset that shows up quite a lot when amateur developers try to claim credit for the creation of real developers. So, nothing here was the creation of the developers, and the code itself is just a pointless shallow tech demo thing. Ignore the faff about "brainwaves", this is just a bunch of Unity assets on a VR rail shooter game template and very little else. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "BCI VR Horror Attraction: The Mad Trail", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
