A journey through memories.
A story of lost love.
A groundbreaking room-scale VR experience.
“Our memory is a more perfect world than the universe: it gives back life to those who no longer exist.” ― Guy de Maupassant
VESTIGE is a room-scale VR creative documentary that uses multi-narrative and volumetric live capture to take the viewer on a journey into the mind of Lisa as she remembers her lost love, Erik. Within an empty void, fragments of past memories appear of their life together. As we navigate the space to explore these moments, new memories are triggered revealing new pathways through the story. Over time the memories become entangled with a haunting vision and eventually lead us to the shocking moment of Erik’s death. Every viewing will reveal a different journey towards this moment, revealing the complex world of memory and grief.
VESTIGE is a standing room-scale VR experience with spatial sound, headphones are recommended for complete immersion. The way you navigate the space will change the story. No controllers are required.

I think either the story will touch you, and you'll remember it, either it won't and you will be disappointed. The story has nothing particular. It's just something we will all relate to at some point, the passing of a loved one.
This is such a beautiful and touching VR experience. Highly recommend to anyone. It is so pretty to look at, very emotional and one of those things that makes you feel extremely connected to another human being. loved it
Amazing experience. This is what VR is for.
I got more invested in those 13 minutes than any move I've seen lately.
This got heavy and I didn't expect it to. It's rather short but I totally enjoyed it.
Failed to impress or make a lasting impact.
If you like compelling stories or are looking for a good 'VR experience', look somemwhere else
Might Recommend
Reviewing this is a bit tough because I believe it depends a lot on what kind of person you are and what exactly you're looking for in this game. In general, I do recommend this game because it's a cheap, quick, & interesting VR experience - especially for those new to VR. However, if you can't/don't plan on using headphones, I would not recommend this at all. The audio aspect was what really made it worth it.
For those who don't have much space, I personally think the "room navigation" aspect is a bit misleading; all it takes is rotating your head/body (360 degrees) & you can remain in one spot if you'd like so that is not an issue. I'm only saying this because I assumed there would be a bit more roaming involved when it didn't.
Also, the way you navigate does not really change the story. From my tries, it only really changes the angles of what scene you're looking at. If you do try this, I'd mostly recommend following the sounds and where they're coming from (to avoid confusion in the beginning) and to also follow her story (i.e. if she's describing a very detailed memory, there's probably a scene around.)
On to the story experience: I am sorry for Lisa's loss and losing someone you love is a terrible thing to go through. I love the idea of visualizing memories & their importance & a lot of her words really hit, you know? However, I agree with some reviewers on the fact you kinda end the experience going like "wait that's it? oh okay." Personally, I'm not a very emotional/sensitive person and I wanted to try this to get a bit of an emotional boost especially with all this numbness in quarantine. But honestly, story wise, it still didn't do much because there's not much context to work with, but the overall experience, audio, etc. made the mood super dark afterwards so I would definitely suggest not playing/making fun plans for after this experience because your "vibe" will just go dark. Again, that mood-defeat isn't exactly because of the story, but more so caused by the whole experience of the game.
Either way, if the cost of this game isn't an issue, then it won't hurt to give it a shot because it's still an interesting experience, i guess.
To me, this is the best of VR. Not some gimmicky arcade experience for a slapped together port of an existing game, but an impactful new form of storytelling. It may be a bit short and if you're expecting an actual game, I can understand some disappointment, but I was wiping the tears off of my headset by the end of it and wishing for more experiences of this sort available for VR. The motion graphics used to display the visuals were really interesting and focus your attention and allow you to explore the space without the awkwardness of simply porting 360 video.
All in all, really cool stuff and kudos to all the creatives involved and please continue to make great work.
Somewhat mixed reviews lately I see. Personally I was in tears by the end; I'd had a smoke beforehand which no doubt played a role, but it was also quite beautifully presented. I liked the main visual effect... to the review that said this was just a 360 video, that's not at all true. it's 6DOF tracking and the actors appear to have been recorded and rendered volumetrically, so you can move around them. My guess is the cool shader came about as a result of trying to render it faster, or to jazz up what would be low quality volumetric video if they were to try to render the whole thing. Either way, the results are very cool. There are some well timed particles, effects and sounds to freak out an unsuspecting stoned person, and a particularly gorgeous triangular interlude. Combined with the sad tale of love lost, it was all a bit of a roller coaster, albeit a short one. I'm not sure if I paid for this or not, I just suddenly spotted it in my library this evening, but I would certainly be willing to pay the current price of €3.99 for it.
I just don't get it. It's basically a 13 minute chick flick/pitty party. Sorry for your loss, but I don't see the point of this experience. Granted, some of the visual effects are WAY COOL.
I just bought this title on sale for 49 cents which is Practically nothing. Very sad story but definitely worth a go. If you have a wife that doesn't vr this is something you can definitely show her. She might even hold you a little tighter after.
Engaging, thoughtful story told with unique visuals that take advantage of the VR space to keep you engaged. The 'VR movie' is immersive and I was constantly looking around me as the story unfolded. It is not an 'epic' experience, it's an intimate story with intimate visuals.
The audio design is very good, the visual effect is very good, surreal and exciting atmosphere. Unfortunately, the story is too short.
VESTIGE is... interesting. I like artistic works that deal with dark subject matter, and in this case, the death of a lover but everything just seems half-baked. You get to experience a woman recollecting intimate memories of her lover and the grief felt real but there's not a lot of substance behind it. The experience could have been longer, and more details could have been shared so that we can know the couple better. I like the visual style, it's very stark and beautiful but this could and should have much more impact to honor the real story behind the loss instead of just merely being an experimental, shallow piece.
Such a sad story, it's really heart breaking. You can hear the emotions in the womans voice, you can feel all the feelings. So sad man, so sad.
The story a bit sad/sentimental , but the aesthetic was great. Thought it worked very well. Looks similar visually to another piece called Terminal 3, is that look some kind of effect in depth kit or similar?
Sad story. Moving, yes ... but sad. Not my cup of tea.
Also, this is a 360 movie, nothing else. No controllers even needed.
Nice graphics and music.
Amazing experience.
Excellent use of visual and sound cues to take the out-most advantage of a VR environment.
Excellent storytelling, made me cry.
Experienced on the Oculus Rift
This is a standing room 360 VR purely cinematic experience approximately 13 minutes long. I did view this experience twice just to see the differences, if any. Very tough choice for me on whether to recommend or not. In the end though, I can't recommend this at the asking price. I think the experience missed the mark.
Currently, there are 5 positive reviews already and I'll be the only negative. Why? Well, first of all, this experience is like an experimental (visually) documentary told through the audio of the narrator whose story she is telling. It's a story of love and loss and dealing with grief and sadness. She tells a very personal story and you can tell she really loved this person a lot and that the pain she is talking about is real. However, It does sound like she's talking in a phone interview to some unknown reporter for a TV special of the week. It is told personally, but to no one in particular.
There's mention of different stories depending on where you look, but the audio will be mostly if not all the same. The few different scenes that I did see, did not really change the story. Mostly, I was thinking, is that all? I must be missing something. Am I looking the wrong way? I don't get it. The visuals are interesting in a theoretical way, but I don't think they added to the experience. There's just these wiggly lines that do give a fragmented, surrealistic, trippy atmosphere to the experience. But they certainly didn't enhance the experience, instead of clarity, you have distraction and obfuscation. Instead of great 3D visuals, you get intentionally distorted ones. That might work in another type of story, but not this kind of story. In the end, I wasn't entertained or moved by the story. I'm sorry for her loss. I have also experienced loss. I just think the story was too short, and the visuals too distracting, to feel any emotional impact.
Rate 4.5/10. I honestly think some may really enjoy this experience (maybe enjoy isn't the right word, but you get my meaning), but I did not. I really like We Are Stars by NSC Creative, so I will NOT be refunding and I will ask others who feel they may enjoy this to support this title by purchasing, even if It just wasn't for me and my tastes.
AMAZING! The graphics seem really realistic but are stylized a certain way so you only see everything made up of individual lines of light. It’s hard to explain but the end result turned out really well and as a stylistic choice it seems very fitting for an experience that explores fragments of memories to be visually represented in a way that’s… fragmented. Also be sure to watch this several times, there are entire scenes that I didn’t see the first time around! I was confused and thought maybe I had missed it, but no it turns out there’s actually several (i’m not sure how many yet) different ways to do the experience. I highly recommend Vestige!
This is very fresh for me, only ten minutes after, though this will rank with a few I hold as pushing, and exploring this new media that has arrived. These few that I really show what is possible, evokeing human emotion, and empathy. I don't want that feeling that was conveyed, but I live with it too. I toatally agree, the sayings are true, and they came from some one like brave person that agreed to tell this story. This is only gaze operated, no controler suport. I do recomend it.
