Description: Tired of your daily life on Earth ? Meet A.I Dune and drift in space wrapped in a fractal beauty bubble. Qbism put forth all its energy and ingenuity to make Fractal Lounge a unique, poetic and astonishing experience. If you want to be scared, do not download Fractal lounge. But on the other hand, if you want to disconnect and relax while being blown away, Fractal Lounge guarantees you 15 minutes of total relaxation and amazement. So get your glasses on, sit comfortably and let go of everything. You are one click away from pure bliss.

Review: There are times when Fractal Lounge is beautiful and relaxing. In fact, there were also times when I was so immersed within its fractal generated world that I couldn’t care if the real-world had ended! But sadly 15 mins is all you get. There is no additional DLC, no randomness, no replay value at all! The first “trip” around you will enjoy it immensely, but the 2nd and 3rd your start to realise that many of the fractal scenes are a little flat and it’s not that deep as you first thought it was. While I did enjoy it the first time through I will say I found it a little overpriced given there is only one experience. Sure, that one experience is amazing, but more would have made it easier to justify the asking price.
