Looking Glass

Full disclosure, I am friends with one of the devs. I purchased this game to support his new career because that's what real friends do. The game looks real cool, and I look forward to trying it someday when I've got VR capabilities.

A bit of puzzle solving + a bit of maze navigation + a bit of outwitting the baddy = cool little game for the price. My playtime is how long it took me to win for the first time. I played on the Quest linked to PC. You might want to drop by the discussion forums as there is some instructions on how to quickly flip a setting so that you can use the right joystick to turn.

Looking Glass is a short, small-scale experience with a complete visual aesthetic that results in tense, potentially terrifying play sessions. It will probably provide 10-20 minutes of play time and though I was fortunate to receive it free during a pre-release testing period, the $5 price feels completely appropriate to me (in fact, when I provided my initial feedback I said - not knowing their plans - that I felt $5 would be the perfect price for this!). Atmosphere, sounds, tense music, cohesive visuals all make for a unique and memorable experience. You will find yourself in an outdoor hedge maze, under beautiful stars, with a feeling of shadows lurking as you try to find your way out. There's lots of ideas rolling around my head after playing, ideas to expand on the experience/concept for a larger scale game, but that is a compliment to the immersive world hinted by this self-contained experience. Game ran smoothly (I'm on an RTX 2070) on high quality settings. Smooth or snap turning available with various comfort options that can be turned off. Visually sharp, inviting, immersive. I recommend it!

I think this is great. Really atmospheric. Enjoyed figuring out how to beat the creatures in the maze. More please!
