Now this is a story. I loved it from start to finish. This is what VR was made for. I felt like I was there with the characters. The Devs really did a great job and I’d buy future content from them in a heartbeat if it comes close to or better than this.

First thing I bought and can say very unimpressed, it's a computer generated graphics thing and completely boring and pointless.

Giving it three stars, the artwork was good and can't fault the effort put into this. However I really didn't enjoy the style used and the story was nothing to write about. In fact I kept looking to see how long was left, because it was only 45 mins long that I watched it all, longer would have been off. Can understand people liking it, but aound a fiver for 45mins and to me boring(could be my age lol) left a nasty taste that I won't try anymore. PS I do understand that these things are niche and only has a small audience and not complaining about spending a fiver for something, but when it does nothing for you, after all the reviews I read with positives might have heightened my expectations and failed to deliver.

Great storytelling, amazing graphics, and sets that you can literally walk into and look around in. This looks like the future of filmmaking! I always wondered what was coming after holograms, and I would say that this is probably it! Oh yeah, and it was extremely entertaining, but I can’t get over the visuals!

Through the magic of VR, an average story becomes interesting. The characters are all voiced by one narrator, she does a stellar job! The only downside is that the three chapters are all short. Short and sweet. Perhaps better than a long and less impactful tale would have been? The art style, models and effects are impressive. It is a shame they didn’t also create an interactive game using the same assets. All in all, if you like Punk, this is a must own title.
