i brought this game as i could not wait any longer for the remake im glad i did. i am unsure how they can improve the graphics in this game as they are insane already playing with everything on ultra and maxed out. game looks incredible its a very clever thought out game. im not the best at puzzle games so i do struggle but watching utube has helped. if you like clever well thought out games with amazing graphics please buy as just visually this game is amazing if you really hate puzzle games you might not like it im not a big fan off puzzle games but this is well worth a try its not just puzzles but the story behind it seems good and the visuals will keep you playing

Great game, absolute must have if you've got a VR headset.
It has a few shortcomings though:
- Sometimes the logical solution is not the correct one and you have to do trial and error to find the correct solution. On the other hand some puzzles are just too obvious.
- Going back and forth between timelines can be somewhat tedious.
- The watch just won't shut up!
- Before you start, turn of the watch hint system! "what if you use item A with puzzle B?" is not a hint but telling you the solution before you even looked at the puzzle.
- If you leave an item somewhere it will stay there. So it's very easy to lose an item that you need later. So keep all puzzle items in it's own timeline or in a central place in the main timeline.
That said it's still one of the best VR games you can get. I never play VG games for longer for one or two hours at a time. My first time playing I played for nearly 4 hours straight and now my back is sore XD

hands down one of the best VR puzzle adventure games I have played, it took 7 hours to play through the whole game from start to finish, i love the fact it took that long because i was not only being challenged mentally but visually and physically as well. This game totally gets a 10/10 in my book

Wanderer is a great escape room type game! The puzzles where you have to take an item from one place in one time and use it in another place in another time are quite clever and take advantage of what can be done VR but not in physical escape rooms. The story and present-day scenario are also interesting so far
Definitely worth playing!

8/10 - Great
It starts slow, not appealing visuals or mechanics,
but it gets better and better, as it progresses,
just hold out till you find the wrist watch.
Total 8 chapters, took me around 11 hours, playing blind.
Works well with quest 2 & 3 /w VD Streamer.
the Good,
Nice visuals & voice over.
Good puzzles, you may get stuck, but eventually get it,
No frustrating or don't make sense even after solved, puzzles.
the Bad,
the companion talks too much, and long,
even the adventure game fans will eventually just skip along.
Abrupt ending, no conclusion
signaling a sequel, which can be good,
the Ugly,
the Remake business.
Not the sequel, but a 'remake' is currently in the make.
'fragments of fate' and it is delayed.
Still, great VR adventure, puzzle game.
must try, get it at sale.

This really is a fun game. I must have passed on it about 4 or 5 times before I finally saw it on a sale and bought it. Great mix of Puzzle and Story in a VR Environment makes it feel very immersive.

Its well presented and basically a combo story/puzzle game with some light action thrown into the mix. I found some of the puzzles a little frustrating as opposed to challenging because it required you to do some things that either didn't work too well in VR (and thus missed), red herrings thinking you can complete something when you cant and the need to jump between area locations even in the same timeline. Overall I would recommend the game for 12hrs or there about's.
Devs you probably need to play test it a little more and catch the wtf do I do now moments from different players, but there were some very good moments in the game that you don't normally get with puzzle games.
