Angest: Valentina in Space

So much in advance: emps after an initial investigation a welcome addition to the software library for the Gear VR, After awakening in a bunk on a room station, you can first of all relax and explore the new dwelling. In doing so, one teleports to the most important points, the whole game takes place in the I-perspective. What is to be done is not yet clear at this stage. What you can do, more. For example, take books from the shelf and throw them to the floor. Why should you do this? Because you can. The control with the gear controller is intuitive and instantly understood. Nice is the possibility to change the music on a kind of music box. Unfortunately, there is only one more piece that can not be switched on permanently. The next day you are welcomed again by the traditionally breathed first piece, which at least annoyed me pretty fast. But a long time is and should not be in this area anyway. The rest of the space station must or can not do without music.

Valentina now has the task of exploring the space station and performing tests and tasks. In doing so, you give a hovering robot instructions and tips. He also exhorts the player to leave the given path. You can do it anyway. angestis divided into days that work like chapters. In the examination room there is a check-up, in which you have to answer questions by clicking on a suitable symbol. Whether this has any effect on the course of Adventures, I dare to doubt. Then you can go to the next location and change to the laboratory, for example, with the elevator. There plants are released with the pruning shears from faded leaves and white first no further. Because: That’s it, more tasks are not planned on this day. So you “bounce” back to the bunk and is the next day alarmed by the alarm clock, first to the next check-up.

The graphics of Angest is simple, but appealing and provided with some nice details. The game feeling fluid. However, for the experience, a swivel chair is practical if you do not want to play standing. All in all, a more meditative mood comes up, and the puzzles are not at the beginning at the beginning. Since the title is available free of charge in the Oculus Store , there is nothing against it, with Angest simply a relaxed trip into the space.
