Titanic: A Space Between is a beautiful tragedy in VR
destructoid.comMy experiments with VR have led to some strange experiences, as well as a few action-packed titles. Titanic: A Space Between falls more in the strange category, though it manages to capture my attention thanks to its gorgeous visuals, compelling tale, and a runtime that is just long enough to leave you wanting more.

For anyone who has pondered on why the ship has captured imaginations for decades, this game may be the one to answer that question.
