The Under Presents

good

I want to like this game, but the concept is very boring to me. On the surface it's a narrative game, but you can alter the story. Once you finish the story, and you've explored the empty hub world for a while, that's it, for most people. There's not a whole lot more to it, you get 1 story, and you can faff about with strangers who know a lot more spells than you. The tutorial lures you into thinking there's more to the game than there actually is. If you "solve" all the puzzles in the story, you are rewarded with a new mask. That's it. There are other cosmetics as well, but the game doesn't explain how to get them. I don't like feeling left out. And this game makes you feel left out, because there's not much else on the surface.

This is somehow one of my favorite VR games of all time, I genuinely have no idea I just bought it and was surprised to find one of the most interactive and beautiful experiences in a VR game I've ever had the chance to witness. I'M UNDERING!!!!

One of the most unconventional, diversified and interesting VR games I have played so far. I can just recommend trying this out. It has some mind boggling mechanics and moments.

Very fun game with a lot of secrets, like the observatory. Worth the price

I just experienced childlike joy and wonder playing this game, so check it out

this is awesome game but this game will be better if u add the book of spells and steps spelss that by awesome

This game was basically my life from April 2020 to January 2021, and April 2022 to June 2022. They had Live actors that came to the desert at random and interacted with you, did shows, did storylines and hosted games to play with players. I stayed on the game constantly during the 2020 run, the 2022 run wasn't the same as they did not do any storylines and that was the main reason I stayed for 2020. Without actors, there's not much to do when you've done everything, from beating timeboat and seeing all the areas in the desert. There's also a decent amount of bugs, and there is not as much players playing anymore, so some of the areas in the desert you can't access anymore as they require more players. Overall, its a decent game, but amazing with the live actors.

This game is really cool. Like some other reviews say, go in blind if you can. Its trippy, you never quite know whats happening while you play. I spent some time aboard a research vessel, watching some dude fail to flirt and some admiral be a ♥♥♥♥. Then a giant exit door flies towards me, and I'm blasted back into a desert. I'm in a gift shop? There are little people here! I played with them for a little bit, before one of the bastards fed me a smelly onion. They waved me goodbye and I died (I think). I was now somewhere completely different, on a small island in the sea. I found my way out of that locale, and ended up back in the familiar desert. Then off in the distance, I see a little guy waving at me. They keep beckoning me towards something, and I end up on a hill miles away from the centre of the map. My friend begins to sift through the sand with their hands, and picks up a small piece of something. They wave it around, and do some magic with their mask. I took a while, but once I understood what they wanted me to do together we did some time magic and made an ancient observatory rise out of the sand. We went and got a third friend, then travelled down into its depths. Friend #1 did some more weird hand-magic, and pulled a golden stand arrow out of the air. All three of us grabbed a hold of it, completing some mystical ritual and making the stars above glow bright and fall down to the floor. We each picked up two stars, and the first friend guided us into absorbing the stars into our masks. Mine did a spin, and got all glittery. I don't know what changed, but friend #1 seemed happy. They continued to call me over though, taking me miles further still out into the desert. Arriving at some strange bunker, we once again ventured inside. We travelled through sewers, maintenance tunnels, ancient ruins and up some stairs before arriving in a dried up dead garden. My friend gives me a smug look, and begins bringing the trees back to life with their hand magic. I sit in stunned silence, at this point I'm absolutely blown away by the experience. Then, my friend vanishes into the void with a little wave. They had logged off. Just as powerful of an experience was the next few minutes, wandering about an ethereal ancient garden completely lost and clueless. I tried to learn the hand magic, but only managed to make a hat. It was a cool hat, but it didn't make the trees grow. I tried to find my way back home to the bar at the centre of the map; back to some other people, but I was hopelessly lost. I accepted my fate and took the headset off. Of all the time I've spent in VR, this was some of the best content by far. The boat story part was fun and interesting; the desert adventures with mysterious wispy friends was the real highlight though. The map is staggeringly vast, and full of people just doing their own thing. I get the feeling I could journey through that desert for hours and still find new places and things to explore and do. and to friend #1, thank you.

Geniale
