Daedalus
Action ∙ Arcade ∙ PuzzleDaedalus is a platformer and an exploration game set in a spectacular oneiric and surrealist world.
Daedalus, architect and creator of fantastic mechanical artifacts, was imprisoned by the king Minos to prevent him from sharing his knowledge of Creta’s Labyrinth with others Every night, in his dreams, Daedalus explores the intricate labyrinths aboard his own winged creations, trying to relive every step, each leap, each flight to freedom, attempting to escape his own tragedy.
Help him find the 3 platforms that open the gate of each level and explore the mysterious environments derived from a dream. As the levels progress, the difficulty rises and the architecture grows more and more perplexing. Boost yourself, glide, take advantage of the wind columns, make use of trampolines and activate mechanisms that pour new platforms at your feet to reach your objective. Will Daedalus escape his own prison?

Superb game
Very fun and relaxing at the same time. It's a shame that the game is relatively short. We need a new Daedalus 2 built for the visual quality of Quest 3. That would be a great experience.
dreamlike
It was like walking into abstract art...never got boring as I progressed; it kept changing but was always visually exciting & motivated me to stay active w/it (few games do; I'm not super patient).
Where is the imprisoned Minotaur?
I'll be honest I only bought this game to support the developers because I liked red matter 2 so much. It's a simple puzzle game, fun, and it has a pleasant atmosphere. It reminds me of college and greek philosophy and contemplating the mysteries of the universe. How that effect is so strong just from gliding around in the game hopping along platforms I don't understand. Thanks again Vertical Robot. I can't wait to play your next game!
Classic VR Experience
Originally experienced on my Samsung Gear VR with S10+ phone. Still a nice, calm experience with better resolution and textures on the Quest 3.
Fantastic
Beautiful game, but little short. Movement reminds me jetpack from Red Matter 2. Good job, as always Big Crew!
Ps. Vertical Robot, when RM3? ;-)
Sparsely beautiful and atmospheric
This game was outstanding years ago when I bought it for the Oculus Go. Just bought again for Quest 3 and still love it. I was interested to see if the player controller is as good as I remember it, and can confirm it is - so it's still my benchmark for free-floating movement in VR.
PS it's a single control game and there doesn't appear to be a way to return to the menu. There's also a ghosted second controller visible. Just go to options when starting and uncheck "Show secondary controller", as it doesn't seem to serve any purpose, and looks a bit jarring.
