Product refunded

Beautiful VR Demo. That's all it is though and it should be FREE. I had the game (if you can call it that) open for a total of 14 minutes. There's no reason to ever open it again unless I want to DEMO it to a friend. Even then, I will have it open for a max of 10 minutes and would never need it after that. This is not worth $10 AT ALL.

There are other free alternatives. Like another reviewer suggested, download Within from Oculus via Revive. It's free and is actually better than whats showcased on the $10 version of theBlue.

Actually, on Microsoft Store "TheBlu" is available for free - probably because MS paid for it. I tried it there. Yes, for the lack of interaction (except movement within 4m²) and basically just ~12 minutes of 3D VR video, I would not pay more than 1€. Why? Because for 10€ you can already get games which get you 5+ hours of fun, not just a quarter of an hour.
It's not bad, technically, just lacking something do do except watching.

You lost me when you said Within is a better experience ... that's like saying a Ford Pinto is better than a Bugatti ... okay I guess that's just like your opinion man. Within is rated 3 stars on Oculus and they are 360 videos, many of them of very poor quality. The app has basically been abandoned.

And no, there are not better free alternatives. I've tried them all. Yes, there are several really good ones from Felix & Paul Studios like Marshall From Detroit, etc. I still showcase this app to anybody who is interested in VR, even in 2020. There still isn't a better app / game to showcase. :OCPwned:
