Awesome aesthetics

Awesome aesthetics, reminds me of Deus Ex. There’s not much content, yet, but the foundation is promising. I’m hopeful for what’s to come !

Best game hands down, I have suggestions

Hey guys I love the game so much. The police missions are awesome and I really like the vibes. It’s so cool how you can buy living space or go to the movies. I have a few suggestions.

1. Graphics
The graphics are already pretty good and nice. I think it would look better if you added kind of like a bloom effect or something like that. I also like the idea of reflections on the ground.

2. Body
I think it would be so much cooler to have a full body than floating hands(just arms would also work)

3. Train
I would love to ride the train

4. More missions

5. Better NPC
It feels like they are robots. You should make them more intractable or better animations

Thank you guys so much for this game. I really enjoy it. I am about to check out the new update. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for the review and the feedback!

All 5 suggestions are ones we agree with, and we are working on already in the hope to get them into future updates soon (some things take longer than others!).

Getting such a large world running well on the Quest gives us lots of challenges, I am always trying new ways to get more performance so I can add more features, every day I get a little closer. More updates to come!

Not that good

It is fun flying around but it's just confusing what to do half the time and it's just very boring right now.

Please don't give up on this devs make the missions more enjoyable

Thanks for checking out the game :)

I'm aiming to strike a balance of free-roam exploration, alongside mission based gameplay with a little story arch thrown in. It's a fine line between making the game too boring and directing the action too much (and losing the exploration and discovery element), so I'm still working on getting it right! I'm adding more stuff in to the next updates to help guide players a little more in navigating their way through the game (especially in the early parts) and making plot progression more natural.

Anyway we're dedicated to making this game as best as we can make it, and we listen to all the feedback we get, so thanks again!

Very Impressive

For $5 and considering this was made by two people this game really puts 90% of the quest store to shame. Open world on quest 3 and looks fantastic with optimizer , if you like cyberpunk or bladerunner this game nails that atmosphere to a T and is very serviceable in that specific lane of immersion, the first time I took off in the car and chased after a subway train along other air traffick in the awesome city you've designed I was mind blown , it seems to receive frequent updates as well 100% the best $5 you can spend on the quest store right now.

Thanks so much! An open-world Blade Runner game is all I dreamed for when I first got in to VR, so we are trying our best to build it! I thought it was a pretty niche idea to begin with, so it's great to hear when others are in to it :) More updates on the way!

Great fun. Very well thought out.

Good game play. Keeps me away from the TV for a couple of hours at a time anyway :-) and I think a bargain price for what it is. Now if I can only figure out how to run/sprint when chasing a synthetic!!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the review! If you haven't figured it out yet, pushing the left thumb stick toggles walk/run (right stick toggles crouching). Those synthetics won't know what hit them :)

One huge problem.

Look the game is fine. But theres AI art EVERYWHERE. It becomes an eyesore so quickly. Id genuinely give the game 4-5 stars without it but its just insanely prevalent.

Thanks for checking out the game. I know the AI art is a problem for some people, I understand the criticism so I'll try and explain (not excuse) the choice to use it.

There's just two of us working on the game, dedicating all of our spare time to creating our passion project! The amount of time and effort involved for us to build this game world is pretty huge, so we have to think carefully where we direct our efforts so that we can create the best game we can with what little we have.

AI art has helped hugely with that. It's a compromise that allows us time to work harder on gameplay, story and modelling of the city. We'd rather create all the assets ourselves, but I think without the help of AI, we would still not yet be close to having a playable experience that we could release.

I would definitely like to revisit a lot of the 2D AI assets in the future, right now the focus is on building the plot aspect to give the game a greater overall story, to polish up a lot of the gameplay elements, and introduce requested features based on player feedback. We're creating this game out of pure love for the cyberpunk genre, so we're continuing to work endlessly to make the game of our dreams!
