Cosmic Awakening VR

Huge smoothing issues and the controls just don't work on Vive. It doens't seem to configure correctly so you can't pick up things off of the floor, the actual gameplay is honestly confusing, and there isn't even a way to exit the game. Hope you guys fix this and make it into a good game as I've been waiting for it for a while and was very excited to throw down my cash.

[h1]Reviewed using HTC Vive Pro[/h1] 🛸 Horror Survival on Space Station where the crew is gone and something is chasing you👹 Hmm, now where have I heard this story before❓ ✔️ Graphics are Good with terrifying atmosphere ✔️ RUN❗ B**** RUUN❗ There are No Weapons❗ ✔️ Eight Pages mode is space meets Slenderman ❌ To many dropsies with those Key Cards 🙃 https://youtu.be/R-BsyH9sRCk

really laggy on my gtx 1070 with i7 kaby lake. i wanna hold off on review till i can play it as it seems to have a good vibe and potential for sure. but cannot really play as is on my oculus. turned down game settings too. i also think horror needs locomotion

First thing I want to say is I liked this game and I had no bug issues. The game ran 100% fine for me and there's a video to prove that below. My specs are listed at the bottom. Well this game was gifted to me so I decided to try it out. I am not very good at puzzle and discovery games as I have not played many in my life time so this one started off a bit slow for me. The atmosphere was fine and the graphics well enough and since it was horror the game went into creepy mode nearly right off the bat. The game in general starts off very slow until you kind of figure out what you need to do. There are 2 game modes. The first I wasn't sure what to do but the story mode basically keeps you moving along a certain path, so to speak, I am guessing to a climax. In the begining exploration takes up most of your time then after you get the jist of what you probably should do the game moves faster and then gets more tense. I purposely didn't finish the game because I was making a video and didn't want to spoil the experience. Later this week I will continue where I left off as you can save your progress (yay!!). Look at the tags. If you like any of the tags then you should enjoy this in VR. If this was a regular game I don't think I would have been too interested but I am looking for VR games that put me in another time and place. This fulfills that for me. I like action but I think adventure and exploration games fit VR really well since the mechanics are not very complicated and the focus can be on the environment rather than running here and there not really enjoying the setting. The price is a bit steep since I am guessing it is not super long but the quality of the game is not bad. I love Virtual Reality and scifi so this kind of game sends me there. It has many options too for graphics and other things. I say it is a buy. A number rating would be above average but only 7/10 mainly because the price is a bit high, in my opinion. Don't expect to be very scared by this. It is more a "atmospheric tension" experience but does have some surprises which I won't reveal in writing. Spoiler for some: Here is a 4k video if you want to see some game play. The first mode I didn't really go far and after I died I went to the story mode. That is the one that lasted the longest. It starts off slow so give it time and things get more ineteresting. It may not look that intimidating on a 2D screen but when in VR it is a much better experience. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/52DIh0ylSYU After reading a negative review about performance my specs are as follows and I had zero issues: GTX 1070 Intel Core i7-7700k 16 Gigs DDR4 RAM HTC VIVE

Finished the Story mode in under 30 minutes and spent 20 minutes playing with the ping pong table. On my play through I only had one bug with not being able to put an item down. Pros: - The game does look good. - feels like you are on a space station Cons: - The atmosphere is too cliche - Exploration is just a few rooms - All that "technology" and the torches put out less light than the crappy LED on my phone. - The monster resembles what I imagine Cthulhu's love child would look like. - Can't use the environment to hide from Cthulhu's love child - After escaping the first room with the monster it's too easy to keep avoiding it, especially with the distance you can teleport. - Game is far too short, there are VR demos that offer more game play - Interacting with items is clunky - poor sound design If you are the sort that jumps at their own shadow, this game will have you wetting your pants, otherwise it's not with the price. Note for the developers. There is a lot of promise here, just remove Cthulhu's love child, increase the map size and play with the players mind more, the scariest monsters are the ones that are unseen. This game suffers what most horror games do, gratuitous monster chases. With a VR game I expect 3D sound in the game, whispers in one ear, subtle noises in the distant and a richer story. VR games don't need suspenseful music (like is used when the monster starts to chase you); with the Vive and a good set of headphones on, the immersion is at its maximum so lead and control the player with atmospheric sounds.

Cosmic Awakening VR bezeichnet sich selber als Horror, Erkundungs - Adventure welches mit zwei verschiedenen Gameplays auf euch wartet. Ihr könnt das Spiel im Story Modus Spielen oder in einem, sogenannten, 8 Pages Modus. Der Story Modus beginnt damit, dass Ihr als Techniker an eine Raumstation andockt. Es gibt ein kurzes "In Game" Tutorial und dann geht es los. Ihr lauft durch teils normal beleuchtete und teils dunke Abschnitte der Raumstation. Man merkt schnell, dass hier etwas nicht stimmt. Komische Geräusche, Blut an den Wänden. Aliens, welche sich durch die Gänge schleichen. Das Leveldesign ist wirklich gut gelungen und die Station sieht schön aus. Allerdings verlangt das Spiel unheimlich viel Grafikpower. Mit meiner GTX 1080Ti hat das Spiel auch auf mittlerer Qualität keine 90 Bilder geschafft. Frame Drops an verschiedenen Stellen im Spiel waren keine Seltenheit. Auch merkt man schnell, dass man die tollen Gegenstände zwar alle anfassen kann, aber ein Inventar gibt es nicht. Was bleibt ist ein herumlaufen durch die Station und Keycards suchen um weitere Räume zu öffnen. Und jetzt ACHTUNG SPOILER. Es taucht bereits nach ein paar Minuten in der Story ein Alien auf welches euch verfolgt. Es ist aber so langsam, dass ihr immer davon laufen könnt. Eine Keycard,2 Räume und ein Storryelement weiter, packt euch das scheiss Fiech und das Game ist zu Ende. Aus die Maus. Dies scheint wohl das gewollte Ende des Spiels zu sein. Der zweite Spielmodus verlangt von euch auf der Station 8 versteckte Zettel zu finden. Fertig. Bewegungsprofile: Ihr könnt euch mit Room Scale in euerm Bereich frei bewegen. Fortbewegung wird nur mittels Teleport angeboten. [b] Besonderheiten: [/b] Spielzeit der Storry nur 10-30 Min. [b] Pro: [/b] - Volles Room Scale - In Game Tutorial - Sehr schöne Grafik [b] Kontra: [/b] - Langweiliges Gameplay der Storry - Viel zu kurze Spielzeit - 2. Spielmodus ist langweilig - Viel zu teuer - Kein Genre erkennbar - Langweilige Schock Effekte [b] In aktueller Version gut spielbar?: [/b] Ja, hat aber einen Bug der jedes mal auftritt, dass die linke Hand plötzlich verschwindet. Controller aus und wieder einschalten und weiter geht es. [b] Wünsche: [/b] Bitte nutzt das tolle Level Design für ein Spiel. Das momentan gebotene "Spiel" ist ja wohl gar nichts. [b] Gespielt mit: [/b] Intel I7 7700K GTX 1080Ti 16GB Ram Translate: (by Google) [h1] More demo than a game [/h1] [b] Gameplay and test video: [/b] https://youtu.be/CMmoT1TRsvA [b] Player experience (VR version): [/b] The best thing to do is to watch the video above, which shows practically everything from the game. Cosmic Awakening VR describes itself as a horror, exploration adventure with two different gameplays waiting for you. You can play the game in story mode or in a so-called, 8-page mode. The story mode begins with the fact that you are docking as a technician to a space station. There is a short "In Game" tutorial and then it starts. You walk through partly partly illuminated and partly dark sections of the space station. One quickly realizes that something is wrong here. Comic noise, blood on the walls. Aliens sneaking through the aisles. The level design is really well done and the station looks nice. However, the game requires a lot of graphics power. With my GTX 1080Ti the game has not managed to achieve 90 images on average. Framedrops at various points in the game were not a rarity. Also, you quickly notice that you can touch the great objects, but there is no inventory. What remains is a walk around the station and keyboards looking to open more rooms. And now ATTENTION SPOILER. After a few minutes in the story, an alien appears, which follows you. But it is so slow that you can always run away. A keycard, 2 rooms and a Storryelement, grab the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fiech and the game is over. From the mouse. This seems to be the intended end of the game. The second game mode requires you to find on the station 8 hidden notes. Finished. Motion profiles: You can move freely with RoomScale in your area. Movement is offered only by Teleport. [b] Special features: [/b] Play time of the Storry only 10-30 min. [b] Pro: [/b] - Full RoomScale - In Game Tutorial - Very nice graphics [b] Contra: [/b] - Boring gameplay of the Storry - Too short play time - 2. Game mode is boring - Way too expensive - No genre recognizable - Boring shock effects [b] In the current version good playable ?: [/b] Yes, but has a bug that occurs every time that the left hand suddenly disappears. Turn the controller off and on again and go on. [b] wishes: [/b] Please use the great level design for a game. The currently offered "game" is probably nothing at all. [b] Played with: [/b] Intel I7 7700K GTX 1080Ti 16GB Ram

Very Fun and scary game. The atmosphere and space station setting are both really well done. There's a real sense of dread When you're moving down the halls. The controls are fairly responsive although some things, like picking up certain objects, don't seem work perfectly. I'm usually very sensitive to motion sickness when it comes to VR games, but I had no problems here. I was able to play for an extended period with no real problems. I definitely reccomend this game to any Vive owners who love a good horror experience.

Oculus Rift + Touch | GTX 1060 (6GB) Gameplay with Commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XH2x9BWnJM My Thoughts: Not a bad looking sci-fi horror game with a unique cool monster and some spooky goings on! Game Details: Cosmic Awakening VR is a first person VR survival exploration horror game. A game about immersion, exploration, and terror. You've never experienced horror like this before!

It's a decent game, but at this price I would say wait for a sale. The game itself is pretty tense, and has you searching all around for keycards to open doors, collectable items to find. Almost all objects are interactive, which adds to immersion. You'll be scared to look around corners and find a monster looking back at you. There are a few jump scares as well. I'm used to them by now but still the game keeps a good scary atmosphere. It can be quite difficult to figure out what needs to be done however. I watched an hour long lets play on youtube to help me figure out what to do in the rock conveyer room. That part is quite intense. It took me about 1.6 hours to finish the game after playing quite a while myself then watching the lets play once I got stuck. Overall a decent experience, although more length to the game would be nice. I will recommend it, but I would wait for a sale as I don't think its worth 27.99 CAD. I would say closer to 20 would be more in line with the amount of content and polish the game has. One downside I did find however, are the graphics settings. Keep them all at minimal and disable supersampling for any type of playabke FPS. My OC 980Ti could play only with these settings. Maybe others with faster cards will fare better, but this was my experience.

I got this game in the most recent Steam sale (Chinese New Year) and it's quite the deal for $3 USD. I'm not sure the game is worth the full price of $11.99, not because it's bad but because of the very limited content. The whole story experience probably takes 15-30 minues, just depending on your pace and your ability to find the right items (the store lists the experience as 1-2 hours and I just don't see how, even if you are looking for every item, that is accurate). In fairness, there is another mode called 8 page mode, but not sure that's really worth checking out. But the at least those random modes do give the game some replayability. In any event, I had fun and enjoyed the experience. This game has lots of atmosphere. You're in a space ship and you have no idea what's going on. Strange things start happening. You explore and discover some dark events that happened. There's several things you can grab and interact with. There's some nice ambient sounds as well as just random spooky sounds. This game is mostly an experience, with very light puzzle elements. Think walking simulator in VR. Then the alien appears. Admittedly, this is when the game starts going south. The alien first appearing is great and it does add a sense of dread. However, it soon becomes a chase around the spaceship while you're trying to figure out how to get out. It does become a bit tedious, especially if you don't find the correct item you're supposed to find. Still, I had fun and got more than my $3USD worth. This is a game you want to showcase to family and friends to show off your VR setup. It's short enough that most people will get to the ending quick enough, especially with a few hints. This is like a mini- Alien Isolation (but not as good). It's worth getting on sale. Sale Price Rating 7/10 .... this would be a great game to watch a non-gamer family member or friend play while you give them a little nudge to scare the heck out of them :D
