About
Cyber Engineer, Nyla, and her sister, Linh, developed a way to harness the immense processing power of the human brain to create the ultimate supercomputer. Employed by Forward Industries, they managed to transfer human consciousness to the digital space. But after trying to back out of the project, things took an unexpected turn. Held against their will, Nyla finds herself in a situation that forces her to use the technology in the very way she feared it would be.
From the beginning until one of five possible endings, you experience the entire story from the perspective of Linh's consciousness in the digital world. As Nyla's sister, you participate in the events as they unfold, enabling and enhancing the system's capabilities from within.
The selfish vs compassionate choices you make along the way will define your past while shaping your future. During various 360° flashbacks, you determine the events of the past by gazing at specific details. How it all ends and the fate of the technology is entirely up to you.
Working alongside Nyla, you resolve incomplete code sequences from within the system, scour the city to identify someone who can help you escape - even if it means exploiting their personal information to get them to comply - and discover solutions to the challenge of sneaking them into the building and hopefully to you, undetected.
Human Within combines a thrilling branching storyline with video game playability. Its blend of original storytelling and gameplay features offer players a distinct interactive experience. It differentiates itself with a unique integration of technical features that includes:
User Involvement: Experiencing the story from Linh's consciousness within a virtual internet space provides a unique way to observe the events taking place and have a level of participation unlike anything else.

Point Cloud Interactivity: Explore environments in digital recreations. These sequences serve as pace-breaking moments where users engage with the story even further, bringing a whole new degree of interactivity to the mix.

Choice and Consequence: At key moments in the story the events that take place are defined by the user's choices. These moments define how events unfolded in the past and determine how it all ends in the present.

Style Variety: The story is told across a unique combination of three distinct visual styles: The Internet Space blending 2D film and 3D graphics, Flashback Scenes with interactive 360 degree stereo film, and Point Cloud recreations with 6DoF 3D environments.

By combining a thrilling branching storyline with video game playability, Human Within blends original storytelling and gameplay features to create a one-of-a-kind interactive VR experience.

Sadly, going to give this game a NOT RECOMMENDED rating because it simply does not run currently. I am probably going to refund it. NOTE : The game only supports Quest headset and controllers, as stated in the game store page. However, I tried using my Meta Quest 3 headset, and with the Quest 3 controllers. When entering the game through the Steam Link from Quest 3, the game does not detect the Quest 3 controllers. Tried running from Steam Link, and from Virtual Desktop. From Steam Link I can enter the game, but it does not detect the Quest 3 controllers ( after I already set the settings to the settings suggested by the pinned forum thread ). From Virtual Desktop it simply opens the game in 2D screen mode, so no use there either. Tried the suggested solutions from the forum pinned thread. ( Setting SteamVR Meta Compatibility to On, and in Quest Link set it as the default OpenXR runner.) But these steps did not resolve the issue regarding the the Quest controllers not been detected. Since the controllers are not detected, I could not start the game, even though I am in the main game menu. I do not recommend buying this game right now. Save yourself some headaches, either wait for the dev to come up with a solution, implementing SteamVR compatibility, or skip buying this game all together. A pity, I LOVE FMV games, I LOVE sci-fi, cyberpunk genre, and I LOVE VR. This game looks very fascinating and interesting combining all these elements, how I wish I could play it.
Human Within, finally released on Steam after what felt like an eternity, absolutely delivers. This isn't just a game; it's a profound experience. The modern, almost experimental, approach to storytelling feels like a glimpse into the future of narrative in VR. The stunning blend of cutting-edge technology, breathtaking visuals, and a deeply engaging narrative creates a truly unforgettable playthrough. If you're looking for something that pushes the boundaries of VR, Human Within is a must-play.
[b]Pico 4 not supported, for now.[/b] Devs reached out, they are currently fixing issues with variety of helmets. I'll change my review when I'll be able to play the game. Until then, be sure to Wishlist the game. It looks like one of a kind VR experience, that everyone should try out. [b]Pico 4 пока не поддерживается.[/b] Разработчики работают над исправлением проблем с различными шлемами. Я изменю свой отзыв, когда смогу поиграть. А пока обязательно добавьте игру в список желаемого. Похоже, это уникальный VR-опыт, который стоит попробовать каждому.
[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/ajxjmukmgXE I do recommend this experience for hardcore VR enthusiasts who enjoy cinematic experiences. While this isn't the best cinematic experience, it is better than the average Steam VR release. Plus, there is some innovative ways where VR is used, namely being able to see many different 2D screens and grab them while watching different POVs of the cinematic action. Unfortunately, this is a rather by the numbers choices-matter (but they really don't) FMV. The puzzle gameplay elements are also uninspired, although they do flow with the story. The puzzle gameplay basically consists of either putting blocks together of different symbols (match them up) or scan different objects while manipulating time. The rest of the experience is either viewing 360 stereoscopy scenes where no interactions take place or 180 screens in a 3D environment where you are able to interact with the screens and a few other items. It is cool to grab the screens and view them closer while the other videos are playing. Unfortunately, these portions were not 3D. The story was okay at best. I think it was hampered by the choices matter format. You have to come up with 4 different endings, so they all feel rushed and abrupt. The alternative scenes end up just being flavor to the story. So at the end of it all, it really didn't matter what you chose. You got to the same core beats of the story ... with an abrupt ending depending on what you chose along the way. The real disappointing part are the production values. Basic stuff like scenes being too dark / bad lighting. Or the sound mix being off. The actors weren't the best, but I can't blame them when they had so little to work with. Worst of all, the resolution is too low for PCVR. I've seen better looking 3D visuals / VR content on YT. [b]Rate 6/10. It's $20 USD, there should be better production values here![/b] [quote]I bought this game!

A mixed bag for me. The idea is very cool and very unique. It's basically an interactive movie. The ingame-scenes are very nice and it feels immersive to be there and to be able to pick up all the data you collect. However, the cutscenes, where you only see some videos (without VR environment) are not in a good quality and completely destroy the whole immersion and everything else of the game, which is very sad. Feels like watching some 480p videos. Also I get a little motion sick in these cutscenes, when not standing / sitting perfectly still. The acting is not the best, not bad, but a little bland and emotionless to be honest. I think there was a lot of work put into here, creating this experience, so I will give this a thumbs up. But I'm more on a neutral standpoint here. As I said, great idea, average execution. Would love to see more, but in real good quality.
Смотри кинцо, крути кубы, смотри кинцо, крути кубы, походи в местном аналоге брейнданса и понажимай на окружение, потом опять собери кубы и посмотри кинцо и не в коем случае не забывай собирать кубы 11 ебучих кубов из 10
VR - Human Within (попытка запустить) https://youtu.be/Ziw9guoQWFE Pico 4 + WD + SteamVR блин плохо что нельзя нейтральную реакцию тут поставить. К сожалению игра на пико работает наверное не правильно. После головоломки не переходит на другую сцену. у кого квест - должна нормально работать, т.к вроде для него и разрабатывалась.
C'est une bonne expérience, quoi qu'un peu courte, si vous parvenez à le faire fonctionner. Malheureusement de mon côté j'ai eu plusieurs soucis techniques, qui me demandent de dérégler mon set up juste pour lui. Il semble que le portage Quest > Steam VR n'ai pas été pris au sérieux. Quel dommage. J'y reviendrais sûrement, après quelques patchs.
Works perfectly with my Rift CV1, when setting OpenXR to Meta instead of SteamVR. Using an RTX 3090, Win10, i9 10900K (10cores and 20threads), 32GB ram, and 8TB SSD. The idea of this app isn't bad, but the story evolves way too slowly and it gets boring fast. The puzzles are simple and repetitive, thus not much fun - and feel more like a gimmick. The actors seem chosen by their looks, I was not impressed by the acting. The stereoscopic mode works, but has some severe errors in specific scenes. For example when turning around in one of the first flashback scenes showing the two women talking in their living room, the 360 degrees stereoscopic mode is faulty when turning the full 360 degrees around - but works if you sit still and stare directly at the women. You'll only notice this when checking all directions of the room, especially turning 180 degrees. The error goes away when closing one eye. The app is really just 360 degrees videos, but the res is fine, thus the need of a 20GB install size. The low-poly puzzles and 3D assets reveal that this is a Quest port, made for extremely weak phone gpus (like the Adreno 650 phone gpu in Quest 2) - thus the app is designed for lowest of the low, and was never designed ground-up for PCVR. All in all not a bad app, but also very far from a great app. If you love 360 degrees vids, maybe you'll enjoy this app more than I did. My rating 5.5/10 - an extremely weak recommendation and I might end up refunding.
muy buena experiencia VR, es una pelicula interactiva en donde tu decides como avanza con distintas ramificaciones a elegir
