Description: Oneirogen is a dreamlike circular journey through the depths of the developer’s subconscious. Inspired by the writings of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, this surreal experience was made for room-scale VR from the ground up. Flow from one environment to the next as you experience a magical trip through mysterious realms.
Spend as long as you like in each scene, there are no timers or scores. No deaths, killing, or intense violence. (Safe for children) No UI or menus. (Great for showing to newcomers to VR or gaming) No teleportation. Built with a 3mx3m space in mind. (Limited smooth locomotion available with thumb pad/stick for smaller spaces) Find the 4 hidden tokens to unlock minigames in the starting room.
Review: If you like your VR experiences to be on the weird side of life you might want to give Oneirogen a chance. This art/dream-like experience doesn’t last long, but you will see all sorts of weird things and even interact with some of them. It’s dreamy, it’s weird and I just know some people will love it, but most will not get it at all. Personally I did enjoy it and found that it was a little escape from reality and dare I say quite arty. But do be aware that this will not be for everyone.
