A short unique walking sim that i thoroughly enjoyed. The visuals of mapping out the cave are something that will stick with me for a while

I loved this. It was an exploratory, meditative, frightening experience shown to you via a low-visual environment, elevated in VR. It's hard to describe why it's so good as just an exploration puzzle walking sim in VR, but it rules.

Worth playing. It doesn't overextend its stay, and it does it's job

bom jogo, visual legal, historia intrigante e não estende o gimmick por tempo demais

fucking fantastic, from start to finish.

while other games have been having the conversation of how to turn traversal into a fun gameplay loop, Scanner Sombre flips the conversation on it's head, and breaks it's god damn neck; turning sight into a fun gameplay loop.
what would be a walking sim a good story, is turned into a tense puzzle of wondering where in the hell you're going, ended off with one of the most heart breaking, shocking endings i've ever seen in a game this size.

gameplay gets a 5.
story gets a 5.

This game is interesting. Despite my rating, I would recommend it.
The game has an interesting premise and execution, but unfortunately, fails in it's delivery.
But I applaud the effort, and I would not mind more games like this made, hopefully with better execution!
So yeah, go play Scanner Sombre!
