Honestly I'm not sure what to make of this. The first time I played this I couldn't figure out what to do. There's a button that makes a weird sphincter open up, but when you walk through it, nothing happens. I contacted the dev and apparently I'm too tall and need to bend over when walking into the sphincter. I tried that, and it leads to another room where you need to push buttons, then bend over to walk through sphincters. After solving that it leads to another room with the same thing, then another, then another... Finally, there was a room where an item falls from a sky, and a tentacle destroys it before you can grab it. I couldn't figure out what to do here, so I quit. I was planning on quitting anyways, because all those low doors were killing my back. I really liked how it used the entire layout of my room to generate the pathways, meaning I never needed to teleport or walk into walls. However, while that makes a neat tech demo, there's not much else to recommend as a game.

Занятная бродилка по макромиру. Сделана довольно неплохо, но следует быть готовыми к тому, что потребуется несколько больше места (игровая зона), чтобы полноценно и комфортно исследовать мир игры. Рекомендую к приобретению, особенно если хочется разнообразить коллекцию своих игр чем-то клаустрофобно-непривычным :))

I really enjoyed this. It's mysterious, claustrophobic, and has a lot of crawling through glowing orifices. Can't go wrong with that. 11/10 for spooky atmosphere.

about 10 minutes long. BUT it looks so cool and funky I played it twice, then made my brother play it.

HOST is a triumph of immersive VR. The game mechanics and imagery alone express the unique narrative and let us see deep into the creative's mind. A very inspiring and special experience.

Rad environment design and great use of small room-scale space. If you like short creepy puzzles, check this out. For the dev: I saw in the recommended settings "Additional Notes: For the best immersive experience, change your Chaperone settings to be minimal and dark." Would be nice to see this tip at the beginning of the game since I didn't think about it until most of the way through the game and it definitely helps the ambiance and atmosphere to see less play-space outlines.

Host is a cool beginning. I look forward to updates to this one! It will be interesting to see where it leads. However keep in mind (potential buyer) that you will need a good bit of playing area or you will constantly run into your playing grid.
