    This game is a lot of fun! I played it on my HTC Vive and I only have a couple of hours into it at the moment. Most of that was spent exploring the first beach area getting familiar with the controls, interacting with my backpack, etc... Overall, I am very impressed. This game makes me excited for where VR will go.

    Call of the Starseed is an interesting game, environments are very good looking and immersive, controls are intuitive. Hard to believe that it was made more than 2 years ago.
    Main thing that I didn't like is item interactions: there are very few meaningful combinations and most of them are showed off in the first location and are not used to progress in a main quest.

    Overall, it's good game, but very short, so if you are looking for value, better buy it on sale or in bundle with the second episode.    … Expand

    The Gallery: Call of the Starseed is a first-person adventure that sets up the series, featuring a slow downturn into the truly extraordinary. Despite a few gripes, the game ultimately shines with gorgeous cinematics, realistic voice acting, and competent set design, making for a fun, albeit brief dip into one of the first VR games to feature motion controls. Teleportation and object interaction show its age—something we hope improves in the upcoming sequel.

    Though the first episode only provides a few hours of gameplay, The Gallery provides a great example of the power and potential of VR gaming. [Tested with HTC Vive]

    Yet, I can't stress enough how much I loved The Call of Starseed, it hit all the right spots for me. The story feels like the dark adventure films of the '80s and '90s, the voicework is great, and the immersion is unmatched. [Vive Tested]
