Oh the game is so cute, and well done.
The graphics are excellent and cartoony, the puzzles are quite easy but very fun.
I took me about 3 hours, but that was with replaying 1 'room' as I had missed the treasure in my first play of that 'room'.

I paid 3,99 euro's when it was on sale, and it's definitely worth the price.
Looking forward to playing the other games by this developer, and hope they'll have a sequel to 'Along Together' as I don't mind seeing more of the little girl and her dog (I guided the girl, might do a replay guiding the boy, but I don't think there will be any difference).

Like all Animation Arts games, it looks great, and the overal story is ok, so if you liked all their previous games, you'll probably like this one too.
I did fine up till the last chapter, there were some 'puzzles' that I had to need to use a walkthrough, one with what to do with the pole, then there was the raven 'puzzle' and lastly, the stone movement puzzle. And that made it annoying, especially the raven and stone 'puzzles'.
Also one other 'quicktime' event part was annoying that the 'manual' was only shown AFTER you fail the first time, they should have done it beforehand so I knew what to actually do.

All in all, I liked the story. But it could have been worked out a bit better.
These days you can get Lost Horizon 2 for a few bucks or part of a larger (still cheap) bundle. It's on sale a lot of times here on Steam or on GOG.

This is really an awesome game, well, if you can get it on sale below 10 euro's as it's only a 'short' game/experience.
The graphics, enviroments, characters, details of the hands and suit are excellent, the controls are good, it's fixed point teleporting (and that might be a bit constraining for some people).
The game itself is (IMHO) a VR point and click type of adventure, and since I love P&C adventures, I'm liking this game very much.
Once you finished the game, which shouldn't take you very long, you can 'replay' the game with trying to get some Joker stuff. At the time of writing I'm in the progress of replaying it with the joker extra's.

For me, this is more like an introduction to a much larger game, a game we sadly won't get.

I haven't played the Arkham batman games yet, but I'll bet most content for this game has been taken from those games (which isn't a bad thing ofcourse). I really hope we'll get a much larger batman game, as the one problem I had with this one is with the ending.

It took a while before I could actually start the game, as it automatically detects a controller (which wasn't connected) and then just completely fubars mouse input. That's also the biggest flaw, you cannot disable controller support through the options, and even though if they took a little bit more effort the keyboard shouldn't even be necessary, some parts you can use both mouse buttons for doing a task, other parts you need to use the keyboard to do the same type of tasks even though it also only requires 2 keys.

Ok, now the technical bad parts are over, the game itself looks great and is pretty decent, it isn't a long game, especially if you are a seasoned adventure player. The 'puzzles' aren't that hard as I finished it without a walkthrough.
It's a great game when it's on sale, the current normal price of 12 euro's is a bit steep IMHO, it's ok if you can get it for around 5-6 euro's.

I do hope this team keeps making new adventure games, because they sure can create a beautiful game, but next time maybe take some extra effort in better dialogs and some more puzzles.

The graphics are nice, the audio is ok, the story is ok. It's all pretty standard, so if you love P&C adventure games, this one is a sure thing for your library.

I did have a problem with the mouse pointer going up into a corner as it seems to detect a controller, which there wasn't. Some people made it work by disabling controller through steam, but that didn't work for me. For me the culprit was the 3DConnexion software for my SpaceMouse Pro, which wasn't connected, I had to kill off all background processes for that one (just make sure you have commandline column selected in your TaskManager and look for all 3d connexion paths) before I could finally play the game. Don't count on them fixing it as it's been a problem for many years and was never fixed.

Wel, it's an ok game, but it needs work IMHO. There's a lot of repitition, it's basically look for the blocks with the image and set the dials to the appropriate images, and then, at the end it's all climbing, oh and a few levers, and some mummies.
It should have been better to have the climbing more scattered through the game, it just was too much, my shoulders started to hurt because you have to keep your arms pretty long in the air.
I did run into getting stuck in the wooden stairs/planks, sometimes really jumping fixed it, but one time I had to restart the game.
Also the locomotion is ok with the arm swing, but it also seems to have trackpad motion, I only tested the arm swing.
The graphics look ok, but it had some 'monstermaze vr' tags throughout the game which was a bit immersion breaking.

Would I recommend the game? hmmm.. if you can get it on sale for $2 orso. I got it as part of the 'Virtual Reality V' bundle on indiegale back in march 2017, and those bundles mostly were 5 euro's or something like that and contained 10 games.

This is really a very fun and entertaining puzzler. The graphics are beautifull.
In most cases there are no real clues what to actually do, just make sure you look at all the scenery and displays, but you'll figure it out as most puzzles aren't that hard.

I was even said when the game is over. I finished it in about 2 hours, and I'm not the best puzzler.

But again, I LOVEEEEE the graphics.

And the funny thing is, at first I didn't even want to buy it, I thought, what the hell is this weird game, but it was on sale for 2,04 euro's so in the end I just added it to the cart, and I'm so glad I did that. Especially for a low price as 2 euro it's just a must have in everyone's steam library, at least if you like puzzlers.

Hmmm.. Only played it for a moment as it really already annoyed me. If it was a game from 2016 I wouldn't have minded, but this game is from 2020 and the controls/looks aren't that great, a sunglare which looks awful. No real good tutorial on how to play the game, it has some hard to read/understand images of how the controller works but not what they actually mean. Couldn't even properly jump over the first hole.
And the popup is heavy, for instance the markers at the start just turn 'sharp' only a few feet away. And when walking along the first bridge, you can see artifacts which I associate with timewarp/resolutionscaling or something like that which isn't a good thing.
Maybe if they spend some more time on polishing it and adding a tutorial as how the controls work, it might be an interesting experience, but as it is now, I can't really recommend it unless it's on sale for a buck or lower, not the 7 euro's they're asking right now.
As I said, the idea is interesting and I look forward to it being refined.

Played on HTC Vive Pro/HTC Vive Wands 1.0/RTX2060Super,

Just like the first game, a pretty nice escaperoom type of game.
The puzzles are pretty easy, but as always you have to look around carefully.

But it wasn't all sunshine, it had some annoying things:
The drone doesn't easily give you the items it has in its inventory, which IMHO should release the item if you hold it for a second or two, but it tries to keep holding it, and is very annoying if you're already frustrated by some puzzle.
I had a bug with the last 'puzzle', at least I think it was a bug, otherwise it was very annoying and not puzzle worthy IMHO (quickly go in, do something, then back out, and repeat that 3 times).

But as always, I really like the enviroment, looked great again and the puzzles were easy but great (I don't like weird puzzles where you have to really get into the brain of the developer to think what weird thoughtprocess he/she has come up with).

Is it worth 12,50 euro's as it is at the time of writing? I don't know, I got it as part of an indiegala bundle for 2,90 (included 5 other VR games) back in februari 2021, so for even that price I think it's certainly worth it (if it was 3 euro's on it's own).
If you like escaperoom puzzle type of games, you must have this game (and abode 1 and conductor) in your library.
Looking forward to more of their games.

Absolutely incredible, this is a VR game that should not be missing from your library if you love (simple) puzzles/adventure.
I love the stylized graphics, simple and yet perfect for VR.
I like the puzzles, although not very hard, so if you like difficult puzzles you're out of luck.
It is a bit short though, it took me about 2 hours, and that was including restarting the game three times, first time was at the windmill because a specific item key for windmill door after I picked it up while holding/using the gravity gun got stuck under the floor, but after restarting the game the item was back in my inventory. Next time I had to restart was because again at the windmill a certain item the handle that was held by the windmill should have been visible after it had dropped, but was nowhere to be found, so I just saved and restarted again and low and behold the item was visible where I expected it to be.. And the last time was actually after I've done the bunker and thought it was time to stop, but after I stopped I checked how long the game would run and I noticed the bunker was the last scene before the endscene, so I restarted again.
I really loved this game, just like I loved their other game Abode (next weekend I'm gonna play Abode 2).
I'm glad the attack/dodge parts were kept to a minimum.

I got it through indiegala in a VR-bundle so I didn't pay more than 4-5 euro's for the whole bundle. 5 euro's would be a nice price for it by itself (as it's quite short, but excellent), so the 10 euro's it normally cost is a bit steep for me (but I'm a cheapscape), but if you think 10 euro's is a nice price for a game which takes about 2 hours to complete (or much less if you don't doodle like I do) than I sure as hell can recommend it.

Looking forward to playing more of their games. I do hope they will release a longer narrative adventure game in line with this.
