While the NPC character models are relatively decent, they do exhibit some jagged edges when viewed from afar, and their textures can sometimes be unappealing. Moreover, the game features texture details that pop in, which become especially noticeable during smooth movement, particularly since some of these occur quite close to your face (even though there have been some enhancements to graphics rendering in the initial patch) – potentially breaking the immersion that the world offers. Additionally, upon entering each area, there is a brief moment of slowdown that can feel quite jarring for those few seconds, and I hope this is an issue they can resolve in future patches.

One aspect I really appreciated was the way they presented the cut-scenes. I understand that implementing them into the game must have required significant effort, which made me understand the decision to include them as vidoes. What stood out to me was that the team chose not to display them in a void; instead, they were shown on a screen inside the train carraige. This approach felt much more immersive and aligned with the game, as opposed to the unsettling emptiness of nothingness in VR.

While the world may have its flaws, the sound design effectively enhances immersion. The environment comes alive with atmospheric sounds, with more being introduced upon completing certain puzzles – for instance, activating a water wheel triggers these additional audio elements. The voice acting is strong, truly bringing the characters to life; however, it’s unfortunate that the previously mentioned subtitle boxes are quite intrusive. The auditory experience is beautifully complemented by a gentle classical score in the background, which aligns perfectly with the game’s overall vibe.
