What a creative beautiful way to tell a story, the connection. Ahh so delightful.

It’s difficult to really go into too many details about the plot itself without spoiling a story as poignant and touching as what is to be experienced in Manifest 99, but players will want to break this one out for new VR users and consider it a go-to in the roster of content that showcases the power of storytelling in an all-new medium. With characters that come alive with emotion as they make their pilgrimage into the great beyond, you may be surprised to find yourself tearing up without a single word spoken.
With so much humanity on display without a single human portrayed in the story itself, you’ll want to book a ticket on this train more than once just to appreciate the love and attention to detail that went into creating such a haunting and uniquely universal tale that could only have been told in the VR medium.

Beautiful, melancholic, and it evokes very strong feelings. fantastic sound design and art direction, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Well worth a download.

It’s a different experience and story telling. It’s a bit slow to my taste

Un petit film avec des graphismes basiques et une histoire de vie après la mort qui m’a personnellement peu touché. Sans plus.

A nice VR movie that just falls a bit short of the mark. I was expecting an experience that uses VR to really explore the concept of life of death, but sadly it is just a rather average story that in my opinion barely touches on what could be a really interesting concept to explore.
Pros:
– Beautiful art style
– A refershingly new attempt at a locomotion system
– Cons
– There just is not enough content here to justify the €5 asking price, or to actually expand upon what could be an interesting concept
– Lack of character development. The animation on the characters you encounter is beautiful, but there is only about a minute given to show us anything about these characters.
– Poor scene load management. At various times, when a new scene loads, you are temporarily brought back to the “Vive load room”.
Personally I would not recommend this. A semi-decent attempt.
