Doctor Who: The Runaway
You’ve been in a collision. You wake inside the TARDIS. The Doctor introduces you to the person, or thing, you collided with. He’s a strange and magnificent ball of living energy called Volta. Part surly teenager, part bomb, Volta is very unstable. In fact, he’s primed to explode. Big time. Unless he can be returned to his home planet, sharpish. The problem is, a squad of galactic busybodies has other plans for Volta. Bad ones.
Drawn into a frantic chase, you become The Doctor’s unlikely assistant as she races against time to get Volta home to his parents. Armed with a sonic screwdriver, it is down to you to help The Doctor as she faces the forces of evil, and teenage angst, in this animated 13-minute VR adventure from the team behind Doctor Who Series 11.

it was cute, nothing special, but it was cute. 13 was little funny, she gives you the sonic at some point and that made me realize why they all do fun dramatic poses with it, it's a very you need to pose holding this type of device device. It really just left me wanting an actually game, cause it's more of a 15 minute tech demo experience than anything, which I knew going in, but still left me wanting a full GOOD game holding the sonic screwdriver, after getting the smallest taste of it. if there is ever a full doctor who game, I wish for it not to be in this art style, it just looks like the meta quest avatar style which is bland, but had good very good animations. There's a part where 13 crawls on the floor, I liked that a lot.

It's a sweet little adventure with the Doctor (roughly 15 min). The VR is mostly rooted in place with just a few hand interactions. So, it's actually perfect for kids, since it doesn't overwhelm and just provides the experience of being inside the TARDIS for a little while.
Who would want to miss this opportunity?

Very short, but VERY nice! I like the thing about relaxation, and i adore how well the model is animated and capturing Jodie's doctor. Would definitely buy a full game like this.
