Great game, why is there no full version?
Fun short game. I did have a problem where the game thought the floor was about 15cm below my actual floor, but I managed to play through it anyway. It took my second go to solve it in time. It's a 15 minute game. I played on a Valve Index, and by default the B button picked things up. Use the trigger and aim to poke buttons.
"Belko VR: An Escape Room Experiment" is an okayish but unfortunately incomplete VR tech demo, it's a small and unambitious "escape room" game with just a tiny amount of content. Due to the apparently abandoned nature of this tech demo, it's difficult to recommend. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a "maybe" experience... if you have a lot of free time on your hands and nothing else to do, why not? But for the purposes of a review, this isn't something I can say everyone must try. It's not quite there. Valve doesn't give us a "maybe" option in reviews, but if they did, that's what I'd choose for this.

E' praticamente una demo: in 10 minuti si finisce e SI DEVE finire! :) Attenzione che il parlato e' inglese senza sottotitoli (e' molto semplice ma fa parte del gioco anche la voce) Installat, giocato, cancellato.

Игра "Belko VR: An Escape Room Experiment" предлагает короткий, но напряженный опыт в духе фильма "Эксперимент 'Белко'". Виртуальная реальность хорошо передает атмосферу замкнутого пространства и быстро нарастающей паники. Головоломки достаточно простые, но их решение ощущается более напряженным под давлением времени и осознанием надвигающейся опасности. Главный недостаток - малая продолжительность. Прохождение занимает около 20-30 минут, что делает опыт скорее демо-версией, чем полноценной игрой. Если вы являетесь поклонником фильма или просто ищете быстрый VR-триллер, то попробовать стоит, но не стоит рассчитывать на глубокий игровой процесс. Несмотря на свою краткость, игра создает неплохой саспенс и держит в напряжении до самого конца. Поклонникам жанра рекомендуется.

This is a great game, very fun and I restarted multiple times to get all the different endings. If you have a PC-VR this is a must-have, especially because its FREE!
