Datura is a 2012 first-person adventure game developed by Plastic and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation 3.

Gameplay

Datura can be played with either the PlayStation Move or the DualShock 3.[2] The player starts as a patient in an ambulance, from which ends up mysteriously in a forest.[2][3] The gameplay is built upon the exploration of the forest, where the player can interact with objects and other characters.[2][3]

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN praised the atmospheric elements, but criticised the shortness and the clumsiness of the gameplay.[2] GameSpot heavily criticised the shortness and the lack of clarity in the plot.[3] Kotaku commended its originality, yet defined the overall experience of Datura as "confusing, unsatisfying, and ultimately fleeting".[14]
