I'm usually pretty open when it comes to gaming and media experiences. I'll give anything a shot once. I find that freeing myself from expectations often opens me to enjoy things that I might have otherwise never given a chance. So I was pretty interested in diving into La Pandora's Box, a new "immersive motion-picture concert" that released today on Meta Quest devices. And I actually kinda dug it - though I will also say that I'm not certain this is an experience I would recommend to anyone not down for some serious weirdness.

​

La Pandora's Box is the brainchild of multi-award-winning director, composer, producer, and engineer Nadeem Majdalany. Majdalany, a multiple Grammy-winner, is well known in the classical music world as being somewhat playful and experimental - and that willingness to push boundaries is on display in La Pandora's Box, which feels more to me like an immersive art piece with a heavy focus on music than an actual concert. Hell, I don't even know how to describe what I just experienced, to be frank.
