The verdict
A charming, beautifully animated seated VR puzzle-platformer starring a mouse named Quill, but short. Skip it if you have Vive wands, dislike precision platforming, or want a long game.
Great for
VR newcomers and motion-sickness-prone players who want a cozy, story-driven seated adventure
Main risk
Fiddly platforming and combat controls (especially on Vive wands) plus a very short runtime
What players love
Adorable, expressive Quill
