I'm updating this review after ending the game. 6.2hrs with 22/29 achievements, I was quite sure to reach most of achievements to be honest, it's a good surprise (especially the achievement for collect all dossiers). Could be surely finished in the half of the time, if you jump away to dialogues or exploration, but with a such mood could be better an action game than an adventure.
Great story, extremely geek oriented, moral choices during the game and well... I'm sad the game is ended to be honest, not because it's short (to be a VR game it's quite long) but because I was totally involved into the story and honestly I hope in sequels or DLCs, so many side stories inside.

Bought it after the handtracking support update, as I'm a Vive owner. What a game and what a graphics! It's basically a sort of point and click adventure, but for VR. The story seems extremely interesting, with good dialogues and voices, and english subtitles are activable if needed (please, consider to translate at least subtitles in many languages).
The roomscale use and the whole button assignment for Vive wands need some work, as the game was built over sitting + pad interface. But it's very easy to forgive this, with a such quality! Lots of interactive objects, pointing and activating instead grabbing like Job Simulator, but you can open any door or drawer.
Finally a real adventure for VR, and a good one.
About negative reviews until yesterday (quite a lot!) almost all of them came from Vive owners frustrated for the lack of handtracking. This is no more an issue.

I played this with the HTC vive.
Pros:
-Story driven with great voice acting. I played the german version. There is not much story driven VR content but this would be good without VR too.
-Graphics. While probably not groundbreaking they are good enough to feel like you're there. Playing with a Titan X Pascal at 1.8 SS it looked great.
-Sound, Music, Voice acting - just great
Cons:
-The added motion controls are just that: Added. You'll never need to actually duck to find something. You can feel that this was designed for the xbox controller. It is still better to play with the vive controllers though. Could've been done better though.
-Lengh: Played through in about 3.5 hours. I has a bit replayability with multiple endings and achievements though.
I would buy it again and reccoment it to anyone who owns a Vive or Rift.

I enjoyed this game. Was surprised to see all the negative reviews.
Granted I played on steam deck not VR but I found it to be an engrossing walking simulator with a good story and solid voice acting.
The fact all your decisions made throughout the game have an impact on which ending you achieve was cool.
Most of the puzzles were on the easy side but a few times I found myself lost without clues, turns out I was missing something right in front of my face which was kinda frustrating.
This is a short game, I beat it in 3 hours.
I wouldn’t pay the full price but on sale this is a decent walking simulator if you enjoy the genre

It's quite pretty with fairly simple puzzles and seems fairly linear. It is quite short and there only seems to be a little bit of replayability I might go back and discover the other Adam options
The controls are fairly well done and the story isn't bad. Feels a little odd that in a high security secret lab, almost no-one locks their PCs, they leave confidential files in plain sight and leave incriminating evidence on memo recorders but then the entire story is a little contrived!
I think it is worth the sale price but there's nothing hugely new or memorable in it.

I just finished playing through the non-VR version of the game.
PROs:
Interesting storyline
Noticable attention to detail in modelled game assets
Clever adaptation of the puzzle/sleuth genre into the intended VR format
CONS:
Short game!
I'm quite impressed with what nDreams has been able to create. And while the game is rather short, it has some replayability. I look forward to playing this again when I have an HTC Vive!

Pretty good game overall. 6 hours playtime.
Story is fine , puzzles are not too difficult.
Does not really make use of VR controls being a early 2016 title .
Can be played seated with a game pad without losing anything of the experience.
Really detailed locations and good graphics.
Worth playing if you can get it on sale.

Didn't get very far into it. The story and gameplay seems interesting enough, but really needs support for index controllers. Some other QOL changes would be nice, too. Like, being able to recenter the camera view. Made it very frustrating to play.
