Abode

This game is very short, and way over priced. I paid $4 in a bundle, and I'd say that is too much. It's not a bad game at all, its just that games like Master of Orion are legends with dozens of play hours, and they're cheaper. But if you love VR escape rooms, this is not too bad of one. Get it really, really cheap. Cheaper than I paid, and you'll be happy.

Played on Index. Great interaction with objects, nothing wonky. Abode is a captivating escape room.

I really enjoyed this game. There were some fun puzzles, they weren't that hard though so that is my one drawback for this game. I also think the price is good for it, although anytime it's on sale the better it is to pick it up. Overall, fun short escape room game, but could be longer - 7/10

Quick, basic, 30 minute to 45 minute escape room experience. Pretty simple, but enjoyable nevertheless. Puzzles are definitely not brain busters. The confined space of the "Abode" makes it hard not to stumble on all of the parts and pieces needed to succeed. Nothing to write home about, feels more like a proof of concept, or complete level of a game offered as a demo. Ran fine with PSVR2 adapter on a 3090ti.

Holy crap I only have 2 hours in this? Okay we are going to start this off by saying that this game genuinely feels like I have spent WAY more time in it. That's how drawn in I got with the game. I also want to say that I have yet to beat the game. Twice now I have started the game, put it down, took a break from VR for whatever reason, and now have no clue where I was in the game. So absolutely going to be starting it a 3rd time. I have been in actual escape rooms before in real life and they are a blast. I've also played a few VR escape room games and this is the only one that I've actually found myself caught up in and confused by. Which is why it's so nice that unlike a real escape the room game there is no timer. I could take my time and just sit there and think about what I needed to do next. Some of the puzzles are so genuinely hard. If you like escape the room games I absolutely recommend this. The graphics are pretty good. It runs good on my HTC Vive. I can't comment on the controls as it's been a hot minute since I played but I don't recall having any specific problems with movement. Other than if I recall it has teleporting as the movement, which I'm not a fan of as a form of movement. Take that with a grain of salt though as I might be wrong on that last one. Worth the money and time. Grab it.

There's a lot of stuff in the environment that is completely meaningless, I spent a lot of time chasing down clues that weren't clues. Multiple number puzzles in sequence, a number could come from anywhere, and where it comes from in the end is really not interesting. I felt disconnected from the puzzles like they weren't stimulating. It was more about trying to figure out what matters and what doesn't. Multiple times I was holding something and either moved, or turned around, and the item was just gone or flung across the room. Actually turned out to be a way to figure out if a item was important because it would respawn if it was. I also didn't understand the ending in the hallway just leaves you standing there until you quit the game. Maybe this is an old game and from just one developer. But it shouldn't cost so much if so, it's still getting sales today. I'm sure there are better escape room experiences.

Very short and not that interesting, plus the controls are pretty awkward (at least on an Oculus controller, seems designed for the Vive wands). You can't even pick up things remotely so anything that falls to the floor sucks to pick up, especially when your controllers don't track too well near the floor.
