Fire Escape

Not really a game but it is a very nice cinematic experience.

It felt like a slightly more interactive version of Rear Window. I liked the concept of the game, and I think it could expand into a longer game if it had a little more interactivity. My biggest complaint is that there are no subtitles, so it can be difficult to hear sometimes.

Really interesting take on VR story telling. Graphics were good, but wish there was more interactivity.

I liked this, and I enjoyed following everyone's stories and piecing it all together. It probably works best in VR (hence the negative reviews here). Also, the ending is a little disconnected from your "investigation" skills. It is not what you expect, and not (I thought) in a good way. I'd much rather the game allow you an opportunity to be more of a detective (like Rear Window).

Played it in standard mode as I don't have a VR headset, but I'm not sure if having the latter would make a much of a difference. I was drawn in by the comparisons to Rear Window but the concept wears thin after a while because, as others have pointed out, there's actually not much to do. Ultimately, there are only two endings to the story, with replay value heavily depending on how badly you want to collect all the achievements (meaning endless grinding and reloading of chapters). Also, it made my computer crash a couple of times and once even made it inexplicably power off mid-game. I gave up trying to get 100% achievements after that. If you do really want this game, I can only recommend getting it when it's on sale.

Ein interessantes Spiel, dass einen schnell in seinen Bahn zieht und einen guten Spannungsbogen aufbaut. Obwohl man auf einem Balkon des gegenüberliegenden Hauses steht, wird man mitten in das Geschehen der Bewohner des anderen Hauses hineingezogen und ist im Laufe der Geschichte genötigt einige folgenreiche Entscheidungen zu treffen, die auf Annahmen, Beobachtungen und Behauptungen beruhen. Ich habe mich nicht eine Minute gelangweilt und kann es auf jeden Fall empfehlen.

Meh! Not bad not good. I'm not playing with a VR so maybe it'll be better that way. But it's more like a novel than a game and the story seems a little unrealistic. In the end, I do not recommend it

i really adore this game. such a fun way to tell a story in VR, with excellent performances and writing. it's a one hour story but i've played it through twice now and intend to play it again, there are so many concurrent stories you can't possibly see them all without multiple playthroughs. if you liked Her Story or immersive theater or anything like that, this one is worth your time. picking up pieces of the story asymmetrically, in your own order is a real thrill. and i didn't realize how substantial the stuff i missed was until i played again. loved it!

I liked the concept, but I really didn't like most of the characters.
