“Sound design and soundtrack really set apart Pixel Ripped 1989, it really is transportive in a way that just has this whole vibe around it. It has just a different and interesting game mechanic to be within a VR experience and playing completely different classic games, between universes and contexts, etc.” Kent Bye, VoicesOfVR
