Escape Room VR: Stories

im stuck in a room who has the key

Not great. The gimmick is annoying and the story feels tacked on. Play The Room VR and I expected you to Die for some awesome puzzle games.

It seems like they had some nice ideas for puzzles but unfortunately, really infuriating movement and object handling gets in the way of me enjoying it. In addition, every so often you'll pick an item up and get a narrated comic strip - attempting to inject story in to the escape room isn't terrible but breaking your flow and immersion for these comic strips was not a good choice. I also didn't feel the stories presented were well written which didn't help.

The game would be good if the controls weren't so bad. The free movement is all wrong and the teleport button is weird. these can't be changed so movement is hard.

This is a collection of three low-budget unpolished and buggy indie developed VR escape rooms. There are no options, no save system, and they are all timed to be completed in under thirty minutes each. I found the physics janky, the puzzles to be illogical, tedious, and dull, and the endings anti-climactic. The bugs I encountered were keys not opening what they were supposed to and teleportation switching to auto-locomotion, which causes me a great deal of nausea. The auto-locomotion became so bad in the apartment office story that I had to restart in order to get teleportation back. You will also spend a great deal of time trying to teleport to the right spot because the game will not allow you to teleport to anything where you are too close to any object. You will also need a larger play area because of this. Seeing the time left countdown on the in-game watch also made the experience unenjoyable for me. Overall, I would not recommend this game for playing more than once.

5 minutes into the first room I attempted an animation of a padlock being unlocked wouldn't complete which immediately halted my progress. I've seen this same issue brought up on the steam forum with no solution being submitted.
