It doesn't get as deep as SOMA but it's interesting enough. It delves into AI, the past, and the future. The lore is deep enough to be interesting but not overly complicated and it's certainly not half-assed like most games. You won't be able to get that same effect of feeling like you are there within the massive and complicated puzzle unless you're playing it in VR. Solving these puzzles using moveable components in a life-sized setting is something that in my opinion should only be experienced in VR and it works so well. The puzzles range from being pretty easy and able to be done in a few minutes to extremely difficult that may stump you for over an hour or longer. There are easter eggs everywhere if you look for them.

The music is great and appropriately themed for each of the three worlds. The only level that required a time limit was the very last one. Despite being hard at times the atmosphere was always super chill until you got to the very last level before you beat the game. I loved the combination of the puzzle complexity within the 3 ancient worlds Roman, Egyptian, and medieval. Long story short I fell in love with this game and it is one of my all time favorites now.

I had it on my wishlist and picked it up when it was on sale.

I kept seeing the title pop up in old threads where people recommended their favorite VR games. I didn't know what to expect when I bought it. Just use your left hand to pick up the sigils and you'll be fine. The controls are a little wonky with the Valve Index but it's not a big deal. I just finally finished the base game after months of playing and to sum it up succinctly I strongly recommend this.
