Description: TERMINUS presents a quest, a choose-your-own-adventure into a mysterious universe of alien architecture populated by humanoid clones and cryptic symbols. Prepare yourself for slippage of time and space into five distinct realms: cross the frontier through Fleshold Crossing; take respite in Known Unknown; lose yourself within Scumm Engine; face impending danger in the tower of Gog & Magog, and experience the brink of sensory overload in the psychedelic Tumblewych. The mysteries of what you ultimately seek will be revealed: an understanding that reality is not fixed but rather both malleable and multiple.
Review: ‘TERMINUS’ is one of those weird VR experiences that makes no sense, fits no genre and you can go through it a hundred times and still not fully understand what you are seeing. But oddly by then, you would have probably got your money’s worth of weird content. If you view/listen to this with some form of chemical influence I am pretty sure it will not only make sense, but you will unlock the secrets of the universe. This is not something I recommend and it is not something I am hating upon as it clearly went so far over my own head that I was left questioning my own life-style choices. Give it a go if you dare, but be warned, it’s as Fringe an experience as things get.
