Rooms of Realities

In Rooms of Realities rätseln wir uns durch verschiedene Escape-Rooms (getestet mit der Valve index) Mit insgesamt bis zu 4 Spielern versuchen wir den diversen Räumen zu entkommen und müssen verschiedene Rätsel lösen um unser Ziel zu erreichen. Dabei reicht es nicht, mal einen versteckten Schalter zu finden, sondern die Rätsel sind abwechslungsreich und teilweise auch Anspruchsvoll. Das besondere, das Spiel stellt sich auf die Spielerzahl ein und variiert dementsprechend ein wenig. Die Grafik erfüllt dabei ihren Zweck. Auch wenn das Spiel kein Augenschmaus ist wirkt es in sich stimmig. Die einzelnen Räume sind liebevoll erstellt und haben ihren eigenen Charme. Auch Sound und Vertonung bieten ein stimmiges Gesamtbild. Zur Steuerung kann man nicht viel negatives sagen, Fortbewegen, Hebel ziehen, und mit den nötigen Gegenständen hantieren funktioniert soweit gut, auch die Index wird unterstützt. Die Rätsel reichen von einfach bis mittelschwer, insgesamt aber lösbar. Vor allem sind sie recht abwechslungsreich und nachvollziehbar. Wir mussten unseren Hirnschmalz einsetzen, waren aber nie völlig überfordert. Vor allem im Koop macht das Spiel viel Laune, gemeinsam an den Rätseln und Apparaturen zu arbeiten ist schlicht spaßiger, aber auch Solo kann man sich in die Rätselwelt stürzen. Insgesamt macht das Spiel einen sehr guten Eindruck, die Rätsel haben uns gute 4 Stunden in den Bann gezogen (mit etwas Rumalberei und Zeitverschwendung) und weitere Updates sollen wohl folgen. Von mir gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung, wer Escape-Room mag und vor allem gerne mal Koop seine Fähigkeiten testen will wird nicht enttäuscht.

Seemed like there are no servers for the game, so if the host's having Internet issues, everyone suffers too. It can made the audio between players was heavily delayed and distorted, which just led to frustration than a fun experience as we couldn't play the game, even with the host and one of the two players in the same house. Even when the Internet was working well, progress reversed, objects fell out of the world, players were in the room but only seen and heard by select players, dials would turn but not turn the connected objects like they had when playing the game before. We've played several things and there has ALWAYS been an issue that has negative affected the experience. We all felt the grabbing mechanic could be improved too as it was a bit of a struggle, even for experienced VR users, and broke the flow, immersion, and fun of the game.

Mega cooles spiel für alle die Escape Rooms lieben. 9 Räume für 18 Euro gehe voll in ordnung. Sehr abwechslungsreich und intuitiv. Steuerung bis jetzt das beste von allen Escape Rooms Spielen die ich gespielt habe. Ich hoffe es kommen mehr! Bitte!

Rooms läuft sehr flüssig. Es hat uns zu zweit viel Spaß gemacht. Die meisten Rätsel sind gut lösbar, manchmal muss man ein bisschen knobeln. Haben es in ca 4 h durchgespielt und hoffen auf mehr Räume!

I have just played the three chapters of the first room together with my spouse and it was a great experience! The animations and overall quality is top notch.

If you're looking for a multiplayer VR escape room with crossplay, you don't really have a ton of options. And if you want to play with other VR users that only use standalone quest, then this is the one you want. As of the time of this review, Escape Simulator recently added VR capability to their game, but they still add a disclaimer that it's only optimized for some of their rooms, and adding in a standalone quest version isn't slated until the end of this year. So assuming you read this review between when I post this and before they finish their quest version, this game is your obvious winner. My siblings are all spread out in different parts of the world and we played a campaign together as if we were all in the same room and we all had a great time. I play on Steam, and they all use standalone quest, so for me, the ability for steam-quest crossplay was important and seamless. Now, as for value. Escape room games, and really many puzzle games in general, suffer from the replay-ability concern. That is, you generally can't just play it again because now you already know all the answers to the puzzle. But if you for even a minute consider how much actual escape rooms cost, you realize the value is absolutely there. An Escape Room by me is $42/person for 60 minutes of play (whether you can solve it in that time or not). This game gives you three full scenarios that are broken into 3 volumes each so you don't have to commit to a full scenario in one go. It also comes with little collectibles you can find in each stage and a trophy for each scenario if you're into that sort of thing. There's not much left to say about this game. It's an escape room in your living room that you can play with anyone from anywhere at any time. And if you need more time to solve it, you won't get kicked out. :) It's crazy that this game isn't so much more popular than it is, but maybe like most indie games, it just lacks marketing. Grab some friends or family and have yourself a great time!

Juego tipo escape room muy logrado y muy divertido, principalmente con amigos

Excellent VR escape room game. Playing coop with friends is amazing. High quality rooms. I have played a ton of VR games and nothing is more fun then to play coop in VR. This is at the top of my list.

played this game with a friend for the 1st 2 rooms and really enjoyed it, pacing is on par with most escape rooms roughly an hour each and they scale between having 1-4 players quite easily so its not impossible to go solo and you wont be bored if you're playing as a 4 some. looking forward to seeing more but have raised the bar for multiplayer vr escape rooms for sure

Room of Realities is a VR game that offers three escape room experiences that can be played either solo or with other players. The multiplayer aspect is something many players wanted for a long time. Many could experience an escape room with friends in VRChat, but in standalone VR game that was not possible until now. Room of Realities features a cross platform multiplayer and up to 4 players can play. One player will host and others can join using a code. When in multiplayer mode, cooperation is required for certain tasks. The game has stylized cartoony graphics that are pleasant to look at. While it is nothing spectacular it looks very good and is crystal clear. The items needed for puzzles fit well with rest of items and the environment which is something we don't see every day. Each scenario has a different theme and everything fits nicely and creates good (or scary) ambiance. The puzzles themselves are not overly difficult nor too easy. Some need careful observation, manipulation and some will require a bit of thinking and memorization. I found the puzzles clever and also fairly unique. They are also very fitting and I found them entertaining. If a player gets stuck, they can ask for a hint. What happens is that puzzle items get highlighted (similarly to Ubisoft escape games). You still have to figure out what to do with them. Each scenario, is very atmospheric, has several chapters and tells a story. I felt deeply immersed in them and I really wanted to know more about what happened than just solve the puzzles. While playing I did not experience any major or even minor bugs. I did manage to lose a torch in a wall (so don't drop items in areas you can't reach). Sometimes I had problems with item collisions but even those were rare compared to many other games I played. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes puzzles or atmospheric adventures. The scenarios are fairly short but of a similar length as a real life escape room - they can be finished within one hour. The game is totally worth the price tag it currently has and I believe they will have more content for us to enjoy in the future.
