Since I'm waaaaay out of the VR game. Is this the first game that really try to make a adventure story with help of VR? Since that might work really well

Makes me wonder if they think they need to do a better job than the AppleTV series. Or are they just "basing" it on that instead?

Interesting. I thought the apple TV show was cool but it obviously didn't stay totally in line with the source material. Hard to do with time skips ranging centuries. Hope we see The Mule. Combat is weird since a huge part of the book was that violence can be avoided.

Why they now call all adventure games as "narrative" ones? Sounds pretentious as hell.

Love seeing new vr games
Seeing more games use smooth locomotion as standard is cool too.

"Adventure games" was never a particularly clear name, really.

It sparked my interest for a bit until it said "weapons". I would have been fine with a futuristic Life is Strange type of game, but this sounds more like Mass Effect.
