Pros
Pro Cyberpunk hacker themed world & gameplay
The player is put in to the shoes of a hacker that's tasked with breaking into computer systems.
Pro Designed specifically for the Oculus Rift
Unlike many other games, this one was built ground up for a head mounted display instead of adapted for it. As such the user interface and control scheme are well optimised for the Oculus Rift.
Pro Unsettling atmosphere
The game has unnerving sound design and dream-like, uncanny valley level design that help create a world of both wonder and creepiness.
Pro A unique premise
The game is played from a toddler's point of view. And the POV change creates an interesting, disjointed experience that has both narrative and gameplay implications.
Cons
Con Short
Game is currently under ten minutes long.
Con DK1 support only
Not compatible with the Oculus Rift DK2
Con Abrupt ending
The game ends somewhat unsatisfyingly.
