Description: Would you like to try out an extrasensory experience based on real events? Enjoy your first out-of-body experience in virtual reality. During this first out-of-body experience, you’ll travel back to Egypt. But not the Egypt they told you about in history books, definitely not.

Review: ‘Altarays’ is a 5 minute slightly interactive experience that sees you touching some woman’s head, being transported to ancient Egypt and sitting down while dark ghosts surround you and a snake comes to say hello. What? Do you want more than that for £5.99? Tough, because that is all there is. Even if this…”experience” was free I would be struggling to recommend it, but given the £5.99 price tag it makes things a little easier for me. Avoid this, it’s crap, pointless and vastly overpriced. Just watch the whole experience in my video below.
