Update 1.1 - Serious performance improvements for all scenes! (especially for Rain Room and Fireworks) - Updated visuals to all scenes! - Removed screeching sound from the Main Menu scene. - Added new visuals/sounds to main menu room - Increased size of the forest scene by x50 - Remastered Rain room and mountain scene - Birds in the mountain scene. Hello all! Although this game is not officially an early access game, I am treating it as such. I fully intend to keep working on it and fixing what needs to be fixed. As of right now, I'm getting a lot of great feedback on features that need to be improved on and things that should be added. Here are a few things I would like to point out that I'm working on. - Performance (Done ✓) Right now performance is pretty bad but I plan on fixing this first before anything else. - Size of scenes. (ongoing ✓ (Forrest scene)) Right now the scenes are a little small and I hope to improve on that. Currently, my only limitation with this is performance. The bigger the scenes the more assets I need to add to fill the extra space. The more assets I add, the more it eats from the performance. With that said, I am actively working on improving performance too. - Scene "life". (ongoing ✓ (Mountain scene Birds)) Planning on adding more stuff to scenes to make them feel a little less lonely and empty. For example, sticks and rocks on the ground, birds, and more foliage. -Updated the Rain Room. (Done ✓) I'm thinking of just overhauling the rain room and making it a little more professional such as adding higher quality models, working on the rain effect a little, updating the architecture, and, performance. -Updated mountain scene. (Done ✓) I'm thinking of just overhauling this scene as well. I'm going to fix the textures on this scene and make them higher resolution and make it look better overall.
About the Game
Have you ever wished to be sitting next to a fireplace during a rainstorm, camping in the woods, or standing on the edge of a beautiful mountainous landscape? Now you can with this virtual reality (VR) room-scale experience. Available for the HTC Vive, this experience will be more relaxing and exciting than anything available for the price. This game isn't quite classified as a game, but thats the point! It's more of an experience. There has been lack of relaxation/meditation type games out for the Vive on the market and this is a solution to that. It's a place you can go to relax, to reflect, unwind and just listen to the in-game 3D audio sounds of nature/3D sound effects.Поддерживаемые языки: english

I got this thinking they'd build on it, like Destinations used to be till it was changed to our Steam homes.. this is one of the most pointless VR purchases I've ever made.
Don't waste your time with it.
I like those calm VR experiences where you just walk around and enjoy a nice scenery and I would also be willing to pay something for it if it is well made. But since we have Destinations, the Lab and a lot of other free scenery apps, like the master of them all Google Earth, a tech demo like Vistacapes VR falls short.
I bought it on sale for 50 cents and do not regret it since I just like having games in my collection anyways, but for non-collectors I can say, save your money and enjoy the mentionned programs which deliver so much more content and perfection.
Unfortunately not recommended.

To be honest, when I looked at the negative reviews prior to buying this title, I thought that they were simple expecting too much from a not-even $3 program, and were disappointed when they didn't get a lot, but quite frankly, this is really not that great. The developers seem to be under the illusion that the shortcuts that work on a regular monitor - such as using low-poly meshes with a texture slapped on them, or making bushes out of multiple flat textures - will still be ok in VR when they simply won't.
The mountain and forest areas are jokes. These are where those problems stand out the most. It's very easy to see the flat planes of the bushes and trees, and the fact that very little time was put into the ground or anything more than the immediately visible environment. Seriously, if you teleport to the ledge in the mountain scene, the view below you is pretty much a green, vaguely-mountain-shaped blob. Admittedly, though, the fireworks area is sorta fun to play around in, but the fireworks are entirely manual, so if you stop pressing buttons, they stop coming.
I do like the rainy area, though. They seemed to actually pay attention to this area(mostly). The objects have a high enough poly count to not look boxy, and there are actually quite a few objects around the room, all with good detail to them, and it makes it feel like a believable space. Two complaints I have about it though, are the fact that the rain sound is the same volume regardless of your distance from the window, while the fire volume is determined by proximity, making it hard to hear the fire at all unless you're right next to it, and the fact that the rain itself falls very slowly. I don't expect much out of rain, but if I can track three different drops simultaneously as they fall to the ground, it's falling too slow.
Overall, if you are very specfically looking for a VR experience where you can sit and listen to rain and a crackling fire in a semi-believable environment, then go ahead and grab this app. If you are looking for something to interact with or move around a lot in, go find something else. If you are looking for a place to sit and look around at nice views, go find something else. If you are looking for pretty much anything other than the rain-and-fire thing, go find something else.
Abandonware. Had potential, but squandered due to piss-poor performance, and quite frankly not the prettiest environments either. Oh well.
I want to like this game, I really do, but for me, it's less then 50% playable. the fireworks map works ok, so long as I dont do more than a couple fireworks at the same time. the woods map is nice, but the mountain map, even though it's low res, gets enough frame skips to cause me motion sickness. the rainy room map looks cool, but seriously, the frame skipping is so severe that less than 1 min in that room is enough to cause me motion sickness for a couple hours after
System specs for me:
intel skylake i6-6700k
6bg ram
gigabyte factory oc gtx 970 (windforce)
This either needs some serious optimization, or else a graphics adjustment setting somewhere.
I love the concept, and will NOT be returning it, But with how rough it still is, even after the first optimization update, I can not recommend this game to others unless the optimization issues are fixed, or if you have a new pascal based nvidia graphics card (1060, 1070, 1080 etc), AND if you are looking to get your Zen on in a nice relaxing environment, then this is the game for you. but as is, thats a fairly specific subset of an already small target audience.
This is a nice relaxing little experience. I've been looking for this kind of thing in VR, especially the rain room, where I can sit in an environment and chill. I would love to see more titles like this. The developer is listening to the community and will be adding more scenes. The latest update improved the graphics and performance quite a bit.
I was really looking forward to this, the lobby area with metallic balls suspended in the air looks great but it's really all downhill from there. I could sit in Skytower and watch youtube videos or just chill. This, not so much. The environments aren't detailed and whilst the cost isn't great I wouldn't recommend
I LOVE this. Its small, its inexpensive, and I've spent LOTS of time in the fireworks area. I have no idea why it says I've only been in for .7 hours...I easily have been in watching just the fireworks longer than that.
The woods..I had fun crawling on the ground through the plants...I'm sure I looked like an idiot in RL..whatever.
The cabin...sitting in there is easy to forget I live in the city while watching the rain on the windows.
The mountain...I rather liked sitting on the edge and looking down...I have a fan blowing on me..added to the illusion..again, probably looked like an idiot...
The lobby...surreal. laid down on my floor and just watched the orbs for a bit. Might try drinking and going into this place.
The fireworks....I absolutely love being able to control the shells. That being said, one of the shells bogs my machine down...I'd love to see it optimized. I've got a GTX980ti, 16G RAM and I5 6700.
I was very excited to see this at first as I had been eagerly awaiting a relaxing VR rain simulation, which seemed to be part of this package. I thought the other simulations in this set looked decent too. Sadly, I was very disappointed for a number of reasons and definitely wouldn't recommend this.
- For a rain simulation, there was no rain audio whatsoever, and this is the best bit!
- The devs included a genuinely spooky horror message in what's meant to be a relaxation app, which is obviously the last thing you want in a relaxation app. I didn't hang around to find out if activating it triggered the worse events it implied. I think they were trying to be clever, but it's the wrong genre and target audience, folks.
- General graphics quality is pretty bad; the rainy room was the best and it wasn't great.
- General level of detail is pretty bad.
- General audio quality is pretty bad.
- Transition between rooms is very poor. You have to walk through a wall of solid 'water' into an unfinished area, and the app then puts you back briefly in the generic menu screen each time.
- The instructions menu is full of typos that could have been avoided with a basic spell check - not a great start.
Let me put it this way: The only reason I didn't get a refund here was so that I could leave a review to warn others.
I'm sorry but four empty small rooms with nothing to do should not cost money
You know how sometimes VR titles look a lot better in VR than they do in screenshots or 2d movies? This is the opposite. It is a low quality tech demo not worth the price.
The fireworks part is really nice to watch and to play with. The indoor fireplace scene where it rains outdoor is too complex and juddery on my GTX 780Ti GPU. This scene needs some optimization. The other two landscape scenes are relatively bland and would require higher res textures and details to be really enjoyable.
Good idea, and solidly implemented. Textures and sound could use some love, but dev has said continued work is coming. Worth the cheap price, especially as a relaxing way to demo VR to newcomers, but if you're looking for a well polished product I'd give it some more time.

Only the fireworks section is any good really, if I were the dev then I would focus on that area solely. Bring more colours and types of fireworks then it could be worth a couple of quid. As it stands, not worth it I'm afraid.
I'm sorry but this experience is very small and not as nice as in the trailer. Maybe it will be developed in the future but for now it is not worth paying money for. Sorry
dont bother, very low res textures and the fireworks make the framerate drop easily. Even if this were free to play i would still feel ripped off
well. its not as pretty as i thought and missed frames pops up A LOT, but its just released maybe in time?
This, like a few other titles, has a 'double vision' issue so bad it makes me absolutely nauseous. So much so, that I am typing this 10 minutes after I have requested a refund and I am still feeling it. Yes, my rig can handle this program. i7-4790k, 16G DDR3, 8G MSI R9-390, SSD.
Aside from the queasy, the sound delay from the fireworks was pretty cool! Still giving it a recommend. :)
It's an ok experience for that price. Basically you get 4 places to explore if you don't include the starting place. As for gaming goes, there's absolutly nothing to do in these places except for launching fireworks in one of them. However, the fireworks were really well made with good sounds and visuals, and made it a joy to watch. I thought all scenes seemed a bit empty, with few details and things to look at. If it would had provided better details overall, like in one scene you can see the raindrops moving down the window, it could have been a very nice experience, but the world seems very empty and static. It still delivers good sounds and who doesn't find sitting in a cabin in the woods, while the rain is pooring outside, relaxing? You basically get what you're paying for, and for that price you really can't complain over what you get.
I really really loved the fireworks. So much attention to detail. The sound was off to compensate for the speed of sound. Just wonderful. A few performance issues here and there but definitely worth the money.
