This isn't GTA. What it is, however, is a game that puts you into a nice virtual experience and gives you many things to do. It delivers exactly what it says it will; immersion in a luxury apartment full of things to explore. If you don't own a VR headset, don't buy this game. It has nothing for you.. Ok, it seems i'm the first one to buy this game and the first one to review it.I really liked the idea. I like reproduction of mundane life in games. Although i don't have a VR, i wanted to give it a shot and bought it, but...When you push "Play" on Steam you spawn in a elevator with a Warning message for Oculus users and that's it. No controls instructions, no menu, no game options, no nothing. I don't know if it's like this because i don't have VR, but ok. My review is not based on this matter. The graphics and modeling are good. But the apartment is very, very small (My GTA Online Apartment is bigger). As far as i explored it has only one room (living room\/kitchen). The other door is locked and other has a Shark (!).Almost all the objects has some interation, but most of them just make sounds.When you go to the balcony theres no ambient sound (the game doesn't have ambient sound at all). The city below you is silent.The "small as a ant or 10 feet tall" feature is just a button you press to go "no clip" style, floating.Because it's not stated it's early access or beta in the store page, i'm assuming this is the final version. So, no... Don't buy it.. I played this for 30 minutes. It's a really nicely done VR sandbox experience. My biggest complaint is that the use of touch controllers could have been done better. It's like this game was originally done for a VR and gamepad experience and the touch controls were added in later. Especially on Touch controllers, there's a tactile feel to picking up objects and playing with them. In this game, there's none of that. Instead you have like a laser pointer (or is it a fire pointer?) that gives you interaction with objects. There's an amazing amount of interactions that are mostly hits and only a few misses. I loved going into the fish water tank. I liked the old figher airplane (even thought he controls for all vehicles were clunky at best). I liked how interacting with the purple drink gave us a taste of purple haze. I liked the fruit basket gag. On the other hand, the toy car is broken. It doesn't go forward as intended. Pressing trigger makes the car jump forward and then stop. Conversely, it'll go reverse very fast. I liked Godzilla, but the graphics for him were mediocre at best. It was really a missed opportunity to bring a AAA experience to this app. Also, changing time to night or day is a nice surprise. But the night sky looks terrible. Absolutely bad job, no excuses for that poor level of detail.I do recommend this app. I had a wonderful sense of discovery for 30 minutes that only VR can bring. Just wish more time had been spent in refining the details. Sale Price Rating 6\/10. Not bad for the price of a dinner at McDonalds. It's not something that's going to keep you coming back for hours, but for 6 bucks its an interesting 45 mintues or so. There is enough content to tinker with and I had a few chuckles. The atmosphere is nice (wish my apartment was that awesome!) and I like that you can mess with just about everything short of the actual walls. I'm also glad that I caught this after the little add on that lets you turn the lights off. I really like the look of the place in the day light from the huge windows. It makes me want to actually crash on one of the couches and grab a book or something. The little vehicle's are fun. The head tracking in the apache was brilliant. I flew the little sopwith out of the apartment and bounced off the roof and I was pretty surprised I didn't run into any invisible walls. It's apperent that there was effort put into making a finite space as interesting as possible. For some contructive criticism; I will say that the little R\/C vehicle are fun, however, for some reason they made me a little bit queasy (and I've played a few games that are far more intense without having that problem). I'd recommend having a seat while trying to use them. Also the the model for the dancing lady with fruit on her head is VERY narfed. Or at least it was when I found her. Her arms where bent way above the elbow and her hips and legs where doing some strange things. It looked like the animation didn't quite line up with the model. A suggestion; This app or something similar would be neat to have as a media player option. Like if you could park on the couch and watch Netflix, another media streaming service, or play local content. Imagine that with a multiplayer function too! Sit and watch a movie with a friend or even a group!Overall, worth what I paid for it and a nice VR demo. To the folks who where negative about the price; If you can afford a VR head set and the cpu to run it, then you can afford 6 dollars (less then the cost of a movie out of a bargain bin) Someone put effort into this. They deserve to be paid for it.. Great job developers! I love this luxury condo. The little secrets are funny and fun to play. Please don't take anything away. However, why is the Master bedroom nonfunctional? Open it up, and add a luxury bath. The lady behind the door can be added as a shadow in the bedroom shower. (wink) Also, add a cute puppy and a hot maid.
