Virtual Escape: The Play Room

English below! Ich habe mir dieses Spiel gekauft, weil ich Room Escape Games liebe und es mal in VR ausprobieren möchte. Allen in allen ist es ein gelungendes Spiel, dass leider viel zu schnell durch ist, etwa 1 h braucht man als unerfahrener Spieler. Die Steuerung ist im großen und ganze gut gelungen, wenn auch manchmal Buggy. An vielen Stellen ist es möglich aus dem Spiel zu glitchen, dann muss man einfach einen Schritt zurück machen und es geht wieder. In Summe würde ich dem Spiel lieber eine 3 auf einer 1-5 Skala geben. I bought this game because I love Room Escape Games and would like to try it in VR. All in all, it is a pacing game that is unfortunately far too short, about 1 h, you'll need as an inexperienced player. The control is on the whole well managed, although sometimes buggy. In many places it is possible to glide out of the game, then you just have to take a step back and it works again. Summing up the facts, I'd rather give the game a 3 on a 1-5 scale.

Really well constructed, with good challenging puzzles. Definitely recommened if you like room escape games as much as I do.

it's pretty decent

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

[ SPOILER FREE! ] This is a decent escape the room game. :) None of the puzzles were incredibly difficult to figure out, so this is a pretty accessible game! Here are my two gripes with it: (1) The dark/creepy theme kind of put me off a little bit to be honest--I didn't feel that it added to the game at all. It would have been more interesting if I were someone (like a detective) trying to figure out the details of a murder through the puzzle instead of being a random guy who woke up here and doesn't understand why, with a creepy man watching me on camera and talking to me through the speakers. Ehh. And (2) Though I've found this to be a common issue across VR games, there were some difficult moments of interacting with objects. For example, drawing with the red marker turned out to be difficult to do successfully, and it became frustrating to try to do everything I was trying to do with that object, such that that task, which started out as an "oh, cool!" moment turned into a bit of a frustrating task. That being said, there were some nice moments and fun puzzle ideas. Good job, team!

a fun game yet short game however at the price it is then excellent value for money

Good Escape Room. Easy to complete once you know how, but I got stuck for quite a while on one of the puzzles. Achievements are varied, but most will come with a single playthrough. Hand detection needs a little work, the letter combination lock is specifically difficult to use, but the whiteboards are also hit and miss. Played on a Oracle Rift, no performance issues or game breaking bugs.

An sich schön gemachter Escape. Die Steuerung ist leider manchmal etwas hakelig (z.B. Roboter) und die Storylinie macht depressiv. Daher fällt dieser Titel hinter "Abode" zurück, obwohl mir die Grafik besser gefällt. Bedingt empfehlenswert.
