The Creature Zone VR

A 3-Part horror game about an experiment going on. you can play the three games in the story mode, vent run, terry's pizzeria, and missing friend. the game has features that include: physical hands, and much more! here are the synopsizes for each game: vent run is a game mode where you have to escape the vents of Terry's Pizzeria. Terry's Pizzeria is a game mode where you are positioned as the security guard of Terry's Pizzeria, but you slowly realize that the animatronics are actually the reason of the shutdown of Terry's Pizzeria. missing friend is a game mode of which you are in the also abandoned camp clearwater, you are surrounded by three extraterrestrial creatures, missing friend, party man, and salvage. You will have to play chronological order for the games. the physical hands mean that your VR hands are physics-based.

"The Creature Zone VR" is a badly made set of three VR tech demos, with low quality assets, poor visuals, zero polish... this comes across as a homework assignment or weekend project or something, which would explain the low quality, but wouldn't explain why anyone would think this is worth spending $100 on to publish on Steam Direct. And yet, here we are. What do you do in the game? Wave your hands around in three different, short, badly made and pointless VR tech demos. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. It's VR exclusive, and that shows the developer failed to understand the most basic axiom of VR game design... if the only cool thing about your product is VR support, your product is not cool. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 2 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? I think you should give this one a miss. Although it's free, your time and storage are valuable resources, and the market is filled with superior options.
