From the description
A lone girl stands abandoned on a broken star.
With the star-deprived of its power, she can neither use it to escape nor inform others of her plight. However, there exists a point on this star that intersects with another world. The player, by standing on this convergence point and wearing the Otherworld-Viewing Device (VR unit), can enter the parallel world and communicate with the girl. Together, they cooperate to solve the puzzle of restoring the star’s power so she may be able to leave.
The devs have shared their gameplay concept for the game as well
Although sight is highly intuitive in VR, the same cannot be said for most other aspects, leading to irritation from clumsy controls. We designed this game around directing a character through glances to circumvent this and change that annoyance into a game element. Also, for what is impossible in VR we established as impossible in the context of the story, making these limits seem more natural and eliminating anything that might ruin immersion from the start. For example, preparing a space that allows walking through in a VR world can be difficult, so this game is designed so that player does not move from the starting point, preventing any movement-based awkwardness from occurring. This also addresses the problem of motion sickness.
The release date for the game will be announced “soon” and will cost $25.
