Summary
Finding yourself in a mysterious forest, you will navigate your way through the game by controlling your character's hand using Playstation Move technology. From here, you are immersed into the game's unique experimental narrative and original way of interaction, which enables you to experience the world not only visually, but also empirically - an illusion that you can actually touch trees, faces, and other objects.

Critic Reviews45
Short and puzzling in more ways than one. A clunky oddity.

Datura only takes you about two hours to complete, which starts off by
twenty minutes of yelling at the Move controller and fiddling with the
unfortunate control scheme. It is then followed by a stroll through an
absurd and amazing world, that will create an experience you won't
soon forget. An experience, however, filled with non-challenging
puzzles.

Those with a taste for the unusual will likely enjoy Datura, as it's contemplative and slow and builds surprising tension at times. But ultimately, it's just an interesting yet flawed experiment.
