The crime... is murder.
Our story takes place in a court trial, set in a futuristic world where most humans have cyberbrains. The defendant on trial is an agent who coordinates with artists to create the data for cyberbrains to interact with people’s emotions. The victim is a girl artist named Lux. The jury has to investigate what really happened by reliving the memory data of the defendant.
Pros:
+Engaging story
+Smooth animation and good looking models
Cons:
-Price
-Odd forced perspectives
Thoughts:
This was not bad for the first VR anime ever (that I'm aware of). It follows a story about the degradation of human thought and emotion in the age of AI, which is very important to think about as the AI will be descending upon us very shortly...
Less than 2 hours of non-interactive content at $25 is a hard sell to begin with but the content is also incredibly dry. The final part of the story isn't too bad but everything leading up to it didn't hold my attention very well. There are also long text-only segments at the beginning and end of the story that completely betray the VR presentation....

For the first Visual Novel in VR, this game is amazing. The animations of the main girl are really smooth and human like and the voice acting is also great. If you have room scale VR, moving around while your body stays in the same place takes a bit out of the immersion, but I'm okay with that, as it is still a matter of figuring out how VN's best work...

The VR implmentation is not that great in this game and there is still a lot of improvements can be made.
Some of the things that bother me in this VR anime is not enough interactions between the players and the VR environment and no chance of using the VR motion controllers. And it lacks the options...
