Lots of feel-good puzzles

From walking in a non-euclidean maze, to using a map in such a space, to finding keys, to solving draw-in-one-stroke puzzles, to climbing between levels, to using various kinds of teleportation points, to typing visual codes, to recognizing a puzzle when it looks like a decorative element - this game is full of non-frustrating puzzle mechanics that will make you feel good! And all that packaged in a beautiful environment with lovely music. Could it be more polished? Sure; after all, this is not a AAA game; but it's already a great, relaxing VR puzzle game.

Excellent RoomScale Experience

Room Scale games are special in VR and there are not many around that you can experience. Sommad is one of the best i have played natively on the Quest.

Using your own playspace (min 2mx2m) you walk around a beautiful Maze completing puzzles and collecting gems and keys. With over 4 hours of content this is an amazing title to check out.

You get lost in the world and forget that you are walking around your room, With great graphics and music, and the puzzles not too difficult its a must play game. I highly Recommend it

Excited!

Giving 5 stars because I'm excited to see the development of this game style.

Haven't played much yet. But the developer has been very responsive to my queries and ensured that I'm able to enjoy the experience! So crossing fingers that the game is as enjoyable as I'm hoping.

Want to encourage more like this please!

Great impossible spaces game

At its core it's an interesting puzzle game. You search for a lost plant in each chapter / map. On the way you collect jewels, find keys and solve puzzles to open doors and proceed. There are traps, elevators, teleportation places, roboters and more...

It's a great experience like "tea for god" or "TraVRsal"! You walk by foot (Natural Walking) in "Impossible Spaces". Therefore you need 2 x 2m or better 2.5m x 2m play space. We need more games with this concept!

But it's not perfect... I would love to see puzzles with more variety. I want more interactions like switches or levers for moving objects or disarming traps. Maybe hidden secret stashes in the walls where you can find collectibles or achievements... Maybe placing objects (vases, boxes) on foot switches or similar...

The maps (which are really good and helpful) should be improved especially to see the different levels. I like the stats in each chapter, but after the chapter has been played, the stats are no longer visible. There are no overall stats or a leaderboard after beating the game (best times, least covered meters...). There are also a few bugs.

Lots of room for improvement, but 5 stars because it's already a very good game an makes fun! Hope the game gets updates in the future. Please make more chapters ;)
