In later levels, you encounter projectile and explosive enemies, which brings new challenges in the gameplay and it helps keep combat fresh and less repetitive. She’s a nimble little fighter dodging attacks and returning with a killing blow is really satisfying to execute let alone watch. Quill faces a variety of crab-like enemies in the game, each with their own methods to defeat them. Sometimes you can miss judge jumps and ledges and fall to your death, but luckily you progress in the world is saved per ‘room’ rather than going back to the very start of the chapter. The combat and platform jumping is highly intuitive and it works really well in third-person. You also directly control Quill in third-person using your thumbstick and the face buttons to jump and attack enemies with her toothpick-sized sword.

You simply grab, pull or push moving blocks to create platforms for Quill to later jump onto, to rotating steps and walls to avoid danger or reach higher ground within the world around her. In first-person you are The Reader, a ghostly masked character who can only be viewed in the water reflections below you, whilst each of your hands resembles two glowing orbs that you use to interact with Quill’s world that’s full of challenges and puzzles. Quill begins as a young, fragile and vulnerable character, but through experiences and confrontations with characters along her journey she soon evolves into being increasingly brave and heroic. The game’s narrative is told through a book containing a series of chapters, each telling the tail of Quill and her quest to find and rescue her uncle from Sarffog, a fire-breathing snake who has overthrown her kingdom. You play as two rolls in Moss, controlling a cute female mouse called Quill, who unites with you ‘the reader’ on a swashbuckling adventure through a colourful fantasy world full of discovery, danger, friendship and a whole lot of surprises. You play as an observer in first-person, whilst controlling a cute little white mouse in third-person, all in a wonderfully crafted adventure. Moss is one such game that blends both first-person and third-person viewpoints. The majority of VR games are usually viewed in a first-person viewpoint, so it’s always refreshing to experience games that challenge that trend and approach VR games from a different viewpoint. Each chapter in Quill’s story tells an adventure that’s captivating and enjoyable from beginning to end.
