The gameplay is centered around VR-exclusive puzzle-solving within a mysterious facility, featuring interconnected rooms filled with mechanical challenges and hidden clues. While the initial puzzles effectively introduce motion control mechanics, the game's mechanical imperfections and limited scope hinder its overall refinement, making the current experience feel short and lacking in depth. Players express hope for future content updates to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “Built exclusively for VR platforms, the game places players directly inside a mysterious facility composed of interconnected rooms filled with hidden clues, mechanical puzzles, and environmental challenges.”
- “The initial puzzles introduce the mechanics of searching, grabbing, and manipulating objects using motion controls.”
- “These mechanical rough edges stand out more prominently in VR, where intuitive control is central to maintaining immersion.”
- “Overall, I think it has potential, but it needs changes in the puzzle design and, at least for touch users, it needs fixing mechanic-wise.”
- “Spending 8 euros for about 15 minutes of gameplay is not worth it right now in my opinion, but if more escape rooms are added later (which I hope will be added to this game and not created as new games in a series), it might become a very interesting game.”
