Excellent game that I plan to purchase when the full version comes out.

The opening scene of the dog licking your face was a very good introduction, and the pup carries the rest of the experience heavily, at least for me.

The only thing that I came across that was concerning was the Shark upon its presentation
(I am still not too sure why this was included, it had me worried it was going to harm my dog)

You could argue that, "Why play a game that's about sorting and cleaning up, when in real life, your environment probably needs some cleaning of its own" - and to that I'd argue, some individuals (like myself) live in a very minimalized controlled environment that doesn't require endless sorting.

All that you do (at least in the demo of RYI) is pick up litter, sell, unlock perks, repeat.

The only exception being, finding a key for a treasure chest that...gives you an easter egg ball that's essentially Wilson taken directly from Cast Away (Tom Hanks Movie) but doesn't allow you to interact further.

Though not too much happens, I enjoyed my play-through particularly because of the golden retriever. I'd love to see more variety of animals -- both canine (different breeds) and others to play with.

This could turn into a "personalized island" kind of game, rather than purely cleaning.

In any case aside from my rambling -- I'd recommend giving this a try...as long as your own situation isn't too littered ;P

If you're inclined toward cognitive nutrition, abstract art, alternative existential inquiry, comedy, unique usage of language and questionable decisions: This is a perfect confluence all packed into one.

The two significant feelings I was left with after finishing both available conclusions to Chapter 1 - were deep satisfaction, and a recognition I had been unknowingly teased.

The world you're thrown into, and how it presents itself through Ena and all of the characters spawns an incredible amount of explorative desire. Each interaction, regardless of how subtle, is rich with layered intention.

Distinctive language, absurdly well executed voice acting, and best of all: An artistic creative vision that you could spend the next decade or more analyzing and interpreting.

The only catch: It's still being developed.

If you're searching for something that's truly engaging, rather than simple relaxation or another piece of media to be forgotten, this is without a microsecond of doubt, worth your time.

I could detail out specifics, but I honestly believe it'd spoil too much.
Go into this blind, do not look up anything, and have an open mind, and heart.

You will not regret it.

I'll update this review once I have a little more experience, but for what its worth -- I was really impressed by the presentation and attention to detail. The fact there's a seamless sub-menu tablet just casually laying on a counter to control lighting, etc is absurd to me. This has incredible potential as a multiplicative social environment, among other activities...
I'd heavily suggest anyone that's even slightly interested in other games adjacent to resonite to give this a try.

Woof. If I ever happen to pick myself up a complete VR setup, this is definitely in the list of games I'd love to spend time in.

I messed around a fair amount within the standard client, and at times it can be inaccurate - glitched animations and general control issues - but I love the simplicity and accuracy of the anatomy. I can't comment on the precision within VR, but I'd assume it's better and less odd (such as rotating wrists and abnormal positioning in the non-VR version) overall though, for what its descriptively advertised as, it's certainly a 'solid' experience ;)

Very enjoyable, especially if you like accurate anatomy. Though, I wouldn't mind seeing a more developed paid version. The only criticism of note is the physics errors in various default scenarios - particularly when altering values like sheath size, and others, which causes the models to lose their anchor, and any potential sexiness goes flying...

The scenes could certainly be more exploratory in their nature. Vocals line quality varies, but the dialogue is enjoyable. Paths and choices are somewhat rigid. I don't believe this is worth $20 -- but if this is your genre, and you don't mind morally questionable depictions, choices or expressions (which could be a thing for some...) I'd definitely get it.

One of my favorite choices I made while playing was having the opportunity to form a love bond between Eburon (The Wolfman) and my dragon-self...having some 'fun' along our journey ;)
