Tomb Exploration VR

Very Average VR game with laughable voice acting and terrible gameplay, some good ideas just not the talent or money to make it a worthwhile game. Way overpriced and only but if under a dollar and enjoy terrible VR games.

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This is a narrative driven VR escape room / puzzle game experience in a Tomb Raider inspired ancient Chinese tomb setting. The whole experience took me almost 4 hours to complete, however, I got stuck on one puzzle which probably added an extra hour. The game could probably be finished in less than an hour if you know what you're doing (30 minutes if you already finished the game and just want to speedrun). I expect most people will finish in 2-3 hours. The graphics are not the best, but there are lots of details in the world. These are complete set pieces. In essence, it's all one giant puzzle versus being "rooms." In fact, I couldn't tell you exactly how many rooms there are because it all felt like one story experience. I think there were 8-9 rooms depending on how you count a room (although 3 were connected, so you might see it as only 5 rooms). You're communicating with a professor as you explore the cave at the start of the game. But then ... something happens :) Each of the rooms has interesting, logical puzzles. There is also combat mixed in. You will be shooting the likes of giant rats, skeletons, statues…

Just another crap low-budget indie developed VR game. Environments are drab, way too dark, and made with low polygon models. You constantly have to keep relighting lanterns with your lighter over and over again because they go out quick, which gets really tedious. There are also constant attacks from rats that seem to keep respawning. The voice acting is laughable and shooting the pistol feels very outdated and arcade-like. Objects needed to continue are too well hidden in the dark, which can just frustrate the player. I cannot recommend this game at all.

I like the game so far. I enjoy the ability to move around a VR space looking for clues to progress further. However, it's rather glitchy. I lost a sword on one playthrough. But, when I reloaded it, even though the sword was back, another piece was no longer retrievable. Both were in the same coffin. Obviously, other people have gotten the game to work for them. So, it's just a matter of the game reloading for me with all the puzzles pieces so that I can progress.

It may not be the best art in the world, and it's a little rough around the edges, but it's original work with some good ideas. I enjoyed going in and checking things out. I'll need to come back in a bit to finish things up.
