Thunderbird: The Legend Begins

This game has alot of promise and does look like it could be a great game, it was on my wish list since the early videos appeared as it looked great, but unfortunatly it is really short. and I mean REALLY short. My experience was this: Game loads and I get asked if i want roomscale or standing, I went for the standing option and i get shown how to teleport. The teleportation is standard stuff thats in alot of VR games so I jumped a couple of times and wanted to start the game waiting for it to continue. it was only until I had satisfied the game and teleported several times more that it presented me with the start option. Looking at the word "start" did nothing and pressing a few buttons on the controller only gave me Resolution options (which was nice), but I was unable to change the resolution.. I managed to discover that scrolling on the track pad highlighted a different resolution to pick, but I couldnt actually select it. Finally i found that I was just off the games "prefered"...

Games and experiences like these are exactly why I wanted VR in the first place! This is the best teaser ever...

SPOILER: Be advised this "game" goes no further than getting you in the front door. The game looks like it will be pretty fun, but it is a very short experience if you are familiar with this type of puzzle mechanic. It says "to be continued" at the completion. Well, I am certainly looking forward to seeing more. 12 minutes of play is what you get right now. I am told more gameplay will be added for no additional cost, so perhaps it is not a bad deal if you want to take an early peek. edited: To be less negative due to active developer responses.

Puzzles are way to simple (literally 10 seconds) or buggy and baffling. Its just not fun.

Way too short for the pricetag, also very frustrating mechanics. Lights are very difficult to move and line up.

Fantastic experience with great graphics, beautiful light effects and interesting puzzles. There is a constant feeling of suspense in the air while you are exploring a long lost secret temple hidden within the mountain. Use of music and sound effects are great and adds to the suspension. On the flip side: The menu select at the start could have been more intuitive. Its also not clear how to start the game when entering the snowy landscape at the very start. Handling of the mirror inside is a bit awkward, almost to the point of being bugged. Currently the game is very short (It says "to be continued") and Im eagerly looking forward to experiencing more content. Can't wait to travel deeper into the mountain and reveal more of it secrets!

I can not even start the game, the elevator that is supposed to load at the beginning only loads half so that i can not progress with the puzzle.

Nice demo but to short. I hoop you make a full game out of it with lot more content,.

This game chapter is a beautiful beginning to what could be the next Myst. The puzzles are intuitive and fun, the graphics are highly polished and the hands-on interaction is natural. I really enjoyed this chapter and look forward to the next!

This game is very short, but offers some interesting visuals and mechanics. The grabbing and teleport code seems to have some glitches, but the developers are working to correct these. Having a lot of bright lights in dark spaces, does lead to some pretty distracting lense glare in the HMD. I would recommend that the light level be brought down a bit, and some more ambient light added to the interior to even out the lighting a little. Overall, while it's a bit pricey for what feels like a demo, I still think it's a worth while purchase as long as you understand that you're only getting 10-15 minutes of playtime.
