Seriously amazing and unique tech demos (and vibe demos). Pretty underrated, wish more people did experimental stuff like this.

The visual broken world create specialist.

This is first and foremost a walking sim. I played through the first of the multiple stories, The Sands Of Voltark, and when I first tried it on the Steam Deck, it didn't work right. I'm sure if I tweak the controls I can get it to work. On my PC, I can play it using an Xbox controller so it should be workable on the Deck. Anyway. When I got into Sands Of Voltark, it brought up a sort of confusing instruction screen telling me to travel to various beacons and activate them by hitting 5 buttons. I didn't know if they were buttons on my keyboard/gamepad, but when I first started, I walked around, saw my ship, entered it, and game over, ending with credits, and I am back to selecting another of the multiple stories. I tried Voltark again, and figured it out. I activated beacon after beacon, then headed back to my ship, entered it, and... same ending as if I didn't activate the beacons. So this is an EXTREMELY casual game from what I can see. I'm not complaining, it's a great atmospheric walking sim. for the price on sale (I paid $1.39 and that's with my state tax) I like it! I have more stories to play through. I do like walking sims. Voltark made me feel like I was one of the first people to land on Mars and I had a job of helping to set the planet up to be suitable for human life. The graphics along with the music is a great combo. I was pleasantly distracted from real life. What more can you ask for for less then $2.00? If the developers are reading this, let me say I think your team can do more than this with what you've put into this particular story. I look forward to your future endeavors and will be ready to try out your next release. Right now, I'm gonna finish this game! Anyone who can buy this on sale, if you like walking sims, pull the trigger.
