Storm VR

[h1]Played On: [b]HTC Vive[/b][/h1] Storm VR is an atmospheric puzzle game that is set in the middle of nowhere, in the midst of a snowstorm. Players are tasked with finding shelter in order to survive the frostbite inducing -30C temperatures, all the while having little visibility as a windy winter storm rages around them. The adventure is short, clocking in at around 8 minutes when completing the scenario flawlessly. However, learning the puzzles well enough to reach the end will push the longevity of the title up to about half an hour. The very first playthrough is almost a guaranteed failure, Storm VR is built for trial-and-error repetition; learning from previous mistakes so that on the next attempt one is able to progress more quickly through the previous puzzles. While many gamers, including myself, are lost at the very beginning, it soon becomes clear that there are only three landmarks worth visiting, though it does take some effort to find them due to the obscured visibility. Speed is a key factor during gameplay, and the in-game watch ticks away the seconds of life that players have left; death via hypothermia and frost-bite are always imminent. Locomotion is always a make-or-break for potential buyers, and many may be disheartened to hear that the only available movement type is teleportation. Each teleport takes away anywhere from 1-3 seconds from the in-game timer, so calculating the moves to complete the puzzle is another factor to consider. The graphics are decent, at least as far as anyone can tell due to the unrelenting snowstorm. The most impressive thing is that the closer to death one becomes, the in-game hands become more red, and slowly more black from frostbite. Storm VR is a small part of a larger picture that has yet to be unveiled; at the very end, the game alludes to the fact that this release is merely one small part of an episodic adventure. Although a large portion of the gameplay is trial-and-error, Storm VR is a very enjoyable timed puzzle game if one has the patience for that kind of thing. The minimal visibility creates a more hefty challenge as well. For the small price of $2.19 CAD, it's a half-hour well spent. However, it's still uncertain if the remainder of the game is being worked on, and if it will ever be released; the developer isn't very active or timely in answering questions in the forums.

abandoned

I had some hopes that this might develop into a decent game however it seems to have been abandonded. It starts off well, nice little puzzler but soon you realise there is very little content there. The other major downside for me is not being able to get the last achievement, juggler, because there only seems to be one rock in the game (not counting the tutorial one that disappears). There seems to be absolutely no communication from the devs either saying if they are going to take this any further.

Quality: 8/10 This will be a great game, but this is just a demo / trailer. See below. Graphics are great, there is no locomotion, which really sucks. You just teleport around stupidly in a way that really breaks immersion. Value: 1/10 Cheeky f****** developers have released a trailer / demo of a full game and charged us a price. Rebel people. This is not acceptable.

Storm VR is a free VR survival game. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. This is a quick game, you only have a few minutes to live, up to 14. You will have to play this game several times to get the lay of the land, memorize where everything you need is at, plan a good route, and carry through with your plan. Has 5 steam achievements that are doable within the time it takes to win. You have a choice of language, English or Chinese. This was at one time a paid product, now is free to play. The voice over is English and understandable. The teleport beam shoots straight out rather than in an arc like it should, which makes the bumpy hilly terrain difficult to navigate. Your virtual hands are weirdly positioned, making the code plate hard to work. [spoiler] The car tag plate changes each run. After you win you get a trailer of what the dev is maybe making next. [/spoiler] Try this, if you like survival games.
