Description: “Sanctuary VR” is a first-person puzzle-solving and exploration game designed for Oculus Rift, it has a strong narrative that is fully voice acted. The game is a seated VR experience played with a controller. A group of refugees fled the war on earth for a new home aboard a creaking old star-ship named the “Korolev”, but they never arrived at their destination. You venture into deep space alone searching for the “Korolev” and the loved one who never arrived.
Review: It’s not nice to moan at a game that is free, but Sanctuary VR still makes me do just that. But there are some good points to it. The voice acting is OK as is the storyline, but that is sadly about it. While all that remains of this “game” is a 25-minute short puzzle adventure of sorts that is as basic looking as they come. There was a promise of a lot more to this game, but sadly it has not materialised. It might have been worth a few quid if it was a lot longer, but I wouldn’t have paid much for this at any point. At least it is free so you can give it a go yourself.
