Red Matter is a story-driven VR puzzle adventure game set during a dystopian Sci-Fi Cold War. Take on the role of Agent Epsilon, an astronaut of the Atlantic Union dispatched to an abandoned Volgravian base on Rhea, one of Saturn’s moons. Your mission: to investigate a shady top secret research project. Solve puzzles in a beautiful, high-detail brutalist environment which only becomes more and more surreal as the story progresses. Use an array of hi-tech tools to decipher hidden messages and mechanisms and uncover ever deeper and darker secrets of the facility. But beware of what you may find… Once you discover the truth, will you be able to stomach it?

Finished RM got 95% of the achievements. That's all but 1. I plan a 2nd playthrough on whatever VR HS I might get in the future. This is how VR should be used.
This game was definitely my kind of experience. Reminds me of slow moving sci-fi like Silent Runnings, etc. The settings were drop dead gorgeous. I took my time throughout so I wouldn't miss anything. Everything others said annoyed them (like the guy periodically communicating with you via radio) I really liked. It felt like something from Carpenter's first film Dark Star. The voice acting was fine and really added to it for me personally. I hope the sequel has the same.
Others have mentioned the puzzles being a tad simple. A few challenged my puzzler a little bit. But I just have to make sure to looked at everything. For anyone who might get stuck... just stick it out and keep trying. Nothing better than completing a game like this without getting a hint.
I hope the sequel increases the fright factor. The atmosphere here kept me constantly engaged. But I think it's a slight let down in the end.
Like a really great film, this was well worth what I paid for it. I tried it on the Quest 3 through Meta using Quest+. Loved it. But then I bought it and played it through steamvr and it was quite a bit better looking. This is a game to be explored fully.
I plan to take on the sequel soon. But next I'm going to Genotype.

Looks great, but story and puzzles feel secondary to the environment. Not necessarily bad, just keep this in mind.

Interesting project. 2-4 hours of gameplay. The puzzles hit the sweetspot - not too easy, not too hard. Alot of interaction with the environment. Graphics are really amazing. If you do not own it I recommend getting it, especially on sale

I'd recommend this game for under $20 for sure. My reasons are below:
I've only played this for 1.4 hours, but so far I'm very impressed. Like really impressed. Graphics are really good, not noticing any major bugs. Even the way of jumping between locations seems like floating in space, a really nice touch to the theme.
I would say it's worth more then $20, if it wasn't for the American experience. Let me explain, the whole store about an American going to a soviet location. Everything is 100% dead on. I think for some the translator laser is a great touch, but would be nice if there was an upgrade option to decode in real time. Maybe a HUD option. I think most people would love this game more if they didn't have to translate so much. Again I'm enjoying this as it is different and was the direction given, but not everyone has the same level of patience.
OVER ALL I THINK THIS IS A GREAT GAME AND DESERVES MORE ATTENTION. :)
I need to play more. :)

Good and difficult at times puzzle game with a few spooky parts and great atmosphere. If you want something mysterious with escape room kind of puzzles, this is the game for that.

Decent puzzle game, but very short (2.5 hours) for the asking price, so I'd only recommend this on a sale.
Nitpick: The flashlight is really weird and pointless in the game, you have to hold the trigger for max brightness. It replacing your left hand tool also makes it that much more annoying to use. Should've been on/off toggle on the right hand.
The game does not use the grip button at all, so interacting with stuff is kinda annoying at times, but definitely not an issue.

It's a neat little (short) experience, the visuals are nice but the story is... lacking? Missing? Introduced right before the credits?
If someone had to experience VR in less than 3 hours, this would be my choice.
