What Makes InMind VR (Cardboard) Stand Out
InMind is a short adventure with arcade elements designed for the Cardboard and other Virtual Reality viewers for iOS devices. It's also playable without any special viewer (just tap and hold to switch modes).
This VR game allows the player to experience the journey into the patient's brains in search of the neurons that cause mental disorder. Submerge into the microworld and experience the miracles of the human mind.
The future is nigh. The humanity is standing upon the brink of a new era where modern healthcare makes tremendous scientific advancements. With the help of nanotechnologies a surgical prototype bathyscaphe allows its operator to shrink to a microlevel and travel inside the patient's body.
Game is totally free, as well as our new VR project InCell (http://incell.nivalvr.com).
A unique experimental project made by Nival to test the opportunities of the new Virtual Reality provided by Google Cardboard.
Compatible with View Master, Fibrum, Homido, Lakento, Archos, Durovis and others Cardboard like headsets.
This Education game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Amazing app! We could tell that the developers really put their time into making this. It's one of the first apps we show to friends that have never seen or heard of Google Cardboard before.
Feels like you're actually on a trip through the brain.
Super cool experience. We can't wait to see more VR educational games from this developer. Great job.
We are waiting until we are able to make a journey through the eye.
It's a very good game one of the best VR experience yet! Needs a little work.
This is a great game to play with VR headsets!! Awesome 3d in this game. Like most VR games right now, the only replay value is it's addictive quality. Other than that, it's only one level. With that being said, though, this is awesome to experiment with your VR headset. The possibilities are endless. PLEASE MAKE MORE GAMES. We will buy them.
We don't normally write reviews. Very well done.
Best VR app u have tried so far. This one impressed us. We even went to their website and donated money to support the full version.
Very well done with sharp immersive graphics. We hope they come out with more levels soon.
It's really impressive to see a VR game like this make it to the App Store so soon after Cardboard made its way to iOS. This is a really creative spin on the space shooter genre by setting it inside the mind and going VR. We want more levels, it's like Star Fox but on a whole new level of immersion.
Even if you don't play to win, it's still fun like an amusement ride.
Reminds us of fantastic voyage and innerspace. Cannot wait for the in cell app! Bravo to the developers, knocked this one out of the park!!! Download it's so fun :).
Most realistic and immersive app we've tried so far. Please make more.
Easily the best most intuitive Google cardboard app to date. Must download. We would purchase anything made by this development team.
So far this is the best cardboard VR game we have played. We can't wait the see what they come up with next.
The graphics are great!! We also love that you do the double and single screen.
Beautifully done, great action. This is What VR should be.
Light arcade gameplay, professionally done.
VR is still in its infancy but this game is an example of what the future holds. It's quite fun, although more levels would make it so much better. You must check it out.
Great feeling of immersion. Not a full game but just the first half of a level. We're excited to see more from this dev! VR is the future.
This is the first app that we chose to test the brand new headset that just arrived this morning by mail! (Thanks S!) Of course, being our first experience with today's VR tech, we were blown away by the feeling of being immersed into a virtual "almost 360 degrees" world, and even more, being a neuroscientist, we were amazed by being able to travel through a sci-fi like brain cells environment. After the initial wonder, we have to say this app (like any other pioneer of VR apps for iOS) need a lot of work! – Graphics and control menu need a better use of your engine! – mainly the most frustrating thing is the impossibility of shooting at infected brain cells due to the long time is needed to track/shoot them. A shorter focusing time would maybe allow some people to achieve 5 stars (which so far we find impossible). 4 stars for bringing innovation to the app store But if VR was a commune standard, this app would probably get 2 stars. Great idea, now make it real.
Cute demo, short, kinda repetitive, but for a demo it's not bad. If we were to rate this as a full program our rating would be much lower.
This is short. But to us it's the best use of the technology. It sets up a story, immerses you in it, and has a goal. The graphics are good, the sound effects are decent, we need more like this. But – up the ante and give is something more. More story. Money gameplay. More high end visuals.
The vr is not optimized correctly and it hurts your eyes.
One of the best vr experiences for iOS. Great for introducing people to cardboard.
Simply an incredible VR App. This app is very well done, wish it was a lot longer, can't get enough of these VR apps like this.
This is how VR is supposed to be! We just wish it was longer, but this is only the beginning! Can't wait for more from this developer, as well as more VR in the future.
We're giving this app 5 stars because it's an incredible proof of concept. It's very simple and only has one level but so what! We hope the team keeps working on VR adventures that are done with this level of quality and imagination. The story line, graphics, sounds, and interface are great. Nice job! Can't wait to see the next app.
This is a really fun and cool game and we can't wait for part two.
Every project starts somewhere.
Our only regret is that the game isn't longer. Can't wait to try InCell next.
We can see the future these will definitely be very good and you guys are great do more like these please. Work hard and surprise us :).
Truly an amazing experience.. Good coordination and good balancing! Love it and can't wait for more.
2'nd VR experience we have had on our IPhone and we are glad it was, it shows that VR can be more than simulations. Great job.
This is our go-to app to demo the VR experience to friends and family. Nice graphics, aim/shoot works great, no button needed. The one and only negative is when we load it up to let friends and family check it out, it almost impossible to get our phone back…lol. Incell is also top notch. Please make more apps. Love it.
We couldn't believe how real this experience felt! It was totally awesome and we recommend it to anyone who wants a fun game for VR. There is another game by the same developers called InCell, which we will definitely be playing. Happy gaming.
We are new to using VR goggle tech and our iPhone 6 but and have tried a few apps that were extremely disappointing. This one, however, is not one of the and it is the best one so far- really well done. We often teach and develop new courses for healthcare and as experiential and immersive technology continues to evolve and improve, this kind of an app is a nice introduction to neuroanatomy. Very cool.
Amazing app can't wait for the next one.
Everything about this game was spot on and VR cardboard friendly mechanics like tilt head to shoot. Wish more VR developers develop apps and games that caters to vr users that doesn't have the expensive models like oculus.
A quick vr experience that really showcases the possibilities of the tech.
We just got a set of VR Box goggles, and have been looking for apps for our iPhone 6S. We came across this app and downloaded it. Nice simplistic concept and love that we were able to use it without any thing aside from our vision.
This was so well done. We definitely want to see more from this house.
Never knew that shooting red neurons can be so much fun.
The design is fantastic and immersion level is very high. We find this and the other game put out by this company to be some of the best iOS cardboard offerings yet.
This one is a no-brainer. Get it.
Really well done! No motion sickness, and it was an engaging experience the whole way through. Please make more.
Omg !!! This is amazing !!!! Where can we make a contribution?!?! We want more episodes.
One of our fav Cardboard apps on the App Store. Very simplistic but effective and fun. Great atmosphere, VR controlled UI. This is Pong for VR, a small glimpse of what's to come.
This game is very simple but developers should take a cue from it. The graphics and music are co and the floating circular "meters" give it an interactive feel.
This is a fun game to demonstrate VR. The music is fantastic and the visuals are colorful! We can't wait to see what's next.
