The Rig: A Starmap to Murder

Good game overall, and the design and voice acting are quality. Immersive world and fun puzzle setup. Unfortunately, as already pointed out by many others, the game is way too short. It does a pretty great job of initial world building and internal character monologues, but right as the story is supposed to begin it cuts to credits. Cliffhangers in this format are both jarring and unpleasant, as you spend an hour or two walking in VR in the shoes of the protagonist and begin to feel an investment to be left with closing out of the game and calling it 'finished'. At 15$, its in a weirdly justifiable position. The quality of the production alone make it a fun one-off for any escape room/puzzle enthusiasts out there looking for a short but enjoyable game, (think 15$ for one man escape room with an intricate plot). On the other hand, dont expect any form of replayability or anything. I enjoyed it as an escapist puzzle junkie but the plot left me with something to be desired. Looking forward to seeing more from the developers in the future.

A fun game with clunky controls that you will wish were longer. I will start by saying this is a beautiful game, the environments give off the perfect ambiance and setting for a SciFi mystery adventure. Corridors are dark and moody, control panels and decals are glowy and neon-lit and textures are detailed. The game encourages you to interact with your environment, there are plenty of objects you can pick up and play with but this is where it has its first weakness. Many times I would reach for an object to pick it up and my hand would grab the wrong item and when I did successfully pick something up I would often be holding it at an awkward angle, at one point an object critical to progressing in the game simply disappeared from my hand and I had to reload my last checkpoint. The story is a slow burner but it does suck you in getting more interesting the further you progress, the characters are well written and the quality of the voice acting is quite good. This is the second problem you will encounter while playing the game, the gameplay is too short, it gives you just enough time to become invested in the characters, their backstory, and motivations before it comes to a grinding stop and the end credits roll, this feels more like a pilot to a longer series than a complete game and I sincerely hope the developers consider extending the gameplay maybe even making it episodic.

Cute little game. Very immersive even if it's painfully indie with its graphics, poor optimizations, and a few strange control issues. It's short but worth the money, only if to see longer and higher quality stuff from these devs.

I have no ide why this have a positive review, this not the game, at best it is prolog to a game. I t is hard to say there is a story here when all story is sumurise to your borthere is gone go here end. It is not even well made.

(Vive) Есть серьезный минус - очень плохое взаимодействие с предметами, по крайней мере на моем устройстве. И уползающие от поворота головы субтитры, на краю зрения в расфокусе тяжело их читать. Да и многословный нуарный литературный текст с кучей незнакомых тем - на любителя, мой мозг с него все время норовит сбежать. А понравился формат игры - никто никуда не торопит. Задания почти все (ненавижу тебя, красная засветочка) очень логичны. Есть персонажи. Почти все текстовые куски профессионально озвучены. Ну и сама история, где у тебя прописана роль с вопросами к самому себе, задумчивыми замечаниями и семейными узами дает хорошее погружение.

I guess it's worth it for the graphics and experience, though the story isn't very long.

Great game! with good story line. Great modeling and effects. Just wish it had longer play time. Would like to see future episodes and characters.

Lots of style, and some decent voice acting really makes this game a hidden gem. I have to confess, it took me over a year to finally finish this game, even though I only have about 3 hours of game play on record. Mainly because I encountered horrible clipping problems with the game when playing with a Rift S that kept me from ever getting out of the spaceship. I recently got an Index and didn't have any issues. Along with the clipping, certain objects just felt off when I picked them up, like my actual hands were 6 inches away from what I was holding. Combine this with the somewhat clunky design of the handles and switches, and it left me with an overall clunky feeling when I think about the game. But, forget about that - this adventure is a blast. The holograms, star charts, and just overall feel of being in a future city or personal spacecraft complete with trash and personal items strewn about brings the adventure to life. The ending is well worth the effort - made me feel a little like Mel in Firefly at the end of one of their more dangerous missions. Definitely worth the $$, especially if you pick it up on sale.

Игра с красивой графикой и историей. Музыкальное сопровождение соответствует истории одинокого и запутавшегося героя в кавычках... Увы, очень короткая. Но не скучный, приятный, и одинокий вечер пятницы, будет потрачен не зря! Рекомендую.
