Frequency Garden

Fairly simple puzzle game with great atmosphere. Wish I had a Subpac to enjoy the extremely deep sounds. Get the machine up and running through activating each of the rooms and enjoy the trippy and relaxing end space. The developer has talked about expanding the world further in the future. Can't wait to see what is to come.

[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/TlgVBDB89bY I would normally give this game a negative review. It's not worth $5. However, I am being very generous and reviewing it at the current sale price of $1.24 USD and asking if it's worth it at that price. The answer is maybe. This is basically a walking simulator (teleporting really). You teleport from one area to the next. You'll ride lifts of various sorts. Then you'll press buttons or pull levers. If it's blue, you pull and turn it green. If it's red that means you need to look for another one that's blue so you can turn it green. Teleport around until you have them all turned green. Once you do all that, a new area opens up. The frequency dimension. I'm not sure there's anything to do there except explore. It looks like a generic trippy music visualizer. There are some genuinely good moments in this game. There's this electric shower after you pull some of the buttons and levers that is pretty cool. You'll also be high on some platforms while seeing sound dishes being raised. Unfortunately, there's a lot more negatives. This game runs horribly. On my 1060 GTX, I was getting about 30 frames per second. It's running on the Unity engine and there are no settings of any kind to mitigate the issue (graphical or otherwise). Teleport doesn't always work. For some strange reason, there's some spots you can't teleport to, but that you need to in order to reach the buttons or levers. You'll just have to be able to move within your play-space to reach them and hopefully, be able to get close enough. There's also a lot of backtracking. Finally, the game overall has poor lighting & poor textures (why does it run so badly then?) I thought the cool music from the store page video would be in the game. it isn't. The gameplay is just too basic. Push button or pull levers in the order the game wants. That's all. Well, I would have rated this game negatively. I paid $5 USD when this game's normal price was $10 (50%), but now it's normal price $4.99 USD and 75% off. At only $1.24 USD, I can give it a neutral recommendation. [b]Rate 5/10. For like every 1-2 minutes that are pretty awesome, there's like 20-30 minutes of sheer uncomfortableness, frustration, & downright boredom. TWSS. [/b]
