Description: The pressing human questions about life depend directly on our attitudes toward the universe. You’ll find the answers you’re searching for through a series of reasonings and clues during your journey in this game as well as in your own life.
Review: Heaven Forest VR MMO is an open-world adventure that sees you trying to collect various things. From apples to mushrooms, gems to star shines. The idea is you walk around this dreamy, over the coloured world looking for those items, only to truly discover that you have been trying to find yourself the whole time. You see, this is also a relaxation app that gives you some helpful messages and guidance to centre yourself.
To be fair to this app, there sure is a lot to see. From lots of animals (that are apparently other players, but I don’t think they all are) to various buildings and places of interest. You will probably get lost exploring the world, but you will be happy knowing that there is something new around every corner. Despite the low-quality graphics it does feel like a big world and that also gives you lots to explore and get lost in, but maybe that is the general idea of the game, to relax and get away from it all.
While it is a hidden object game on the outside, it also tries to be a relaxation app at the same time. Sadly the excitement of trying to find all the objects outweighs anything calm and relaxing. Sadly you will also have to find all the objects in a single playthrough as there is no save, but the good news is there is a pretty large app to explore. I wish this game went towards being a big open-world adventure and just ditched the relaxation stuff, but it shows promise that is for certain, well worth the low asking price, even if it does make you feel a little nauseous.
