Overall an enjoyable experience but be aware the highlight of the experience is the animation while the story and voice acting are just acceptable.
The animation and cinematic feel was top tier compared to the majority of VR entertainment options. I do hope this studio makes more media to enjoy, though hopefully they work on dialogue a bit more. 90% of this experience is listening to a narrator rather than the characters themselves.
