the game is beautiful and intriguing, as well as scary and claustrophobic (in a good, immersive way).
unfortunately, the movement made me feel a little ill (on PC) so I didn't play all of it, and the left and right edges of the screen were cropped.
nice one!

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description. (you can already find several games from the jam there)
The game is very beautiful. You can easily improve it by implementing the parts that are missing. In my opinion, the art style is perfect, you can leave it the way it is and focus on the missing areas.
Unfortunately, my phone is not VR ready, so I could only play on my computer, a platform whose controls can be improved by reducing the camera sensitivity and by locking the mouse inside the game screen. On some situations, it ran off and the camera became almost impossible to control. Also, I believe the colliders could be revised. There are many parts that I could climb that seemed like I was walking on the walls.
Overall, congratulations! You have made an almost perfect game! Keep up the good work!
Goof job with the style it looks good, well done.
It took me a while to work out that every button was forward, leading me to get lost and fall into an endless abyss on my first visit, but that was interesting in itself! On my second attempt, I managed to get to the Ancient Technology, and then instantly died. I wasn't sure if that was the end or not, since the death message was the same as the regular one, but it felt like a good place for me to finish. Thanks for a wonderful experience, and congratulations on crafting that in 48 hours!
But overall this game is one of the best VR games in PlayMarket. Really solid entry!
I downloaded it on my android device and used my google cardboard to play it. It was very interesting
I never did find what I was looking for though, I ended up falling out of the map I think!
Also I found sometimes the camera would spin even though I was not moving my head at all.
Over all I like the sounds and the atmosphere, plus I am a google cardboard developer as well!
