La Peri Review
Not Recommended
A standing/room scale animated short-story mixing fantasy and a ballet stage. The experience is over after only 10 minutes.
I feel like I shouldn't spoil too much, so I'll start with a short summary. If you want to avoid spoilers, skip the bottom section.
Interactivity is few and far between. Didn't immerse or excite me. For the most part I was waiting, waiting on stuff to finish, or interactivity to activate.
Audio narrator is good, visual effects are nice.
Vertically moves you twice so nausea is possible. Only at the start and end though (long in the end; had to close my eyes and wait).
Overall sadly just didn't captivate me or ultimately enjoy it in any way.

The game plays with you being on a theater stage, reading a book or reading from a book, with audio narration/reading playing. Stage/Theater environments are moved into the stage, and the world transforms into a fantasy world. This happens for every chapter/scene.
The narration/waiting for animations/interactivity is taking too long at times. The story did not excite or immerse me. The disconnect and transformation failed to immerse me or made me care. At that point I was just interested to see what it would provide, visually.
Interactivity is few and far between. You catch four objects.
No skill-based shortcuts. If an animation is playing and you're not intended to grab yet, it will evade you. So it's mostly not interactive, and punishes/evades you when you try to explore your options. So it's mostly an animated story, not interactive.
Caution: It moves you vertically out of your control in multiple occasions. Specifically at the end it's for a long time, so nausea very possible (I had to close my eyes and wait for it to end).
Overall the visual effects are pretty nice, it's somewhat worth a watch for the sake of it, but nothing really stands out and with how many issues or lack of outstanding/positive things I can't recommend it. Surely a lot of effort went into it and it has a nice premise/ideas that went into it. Too bad it wasn't able to satisfy me.
