A Lost Room

I will admit, I never liked Escape Rooms/ Puzzle games until VR. So I'm still kind of a noob at it and not the best at figuring things out. Although, I am starting to see patterns to the escape room experience. The key point is to check every corner for hidden stuff. And I am terrible at that because I'm not the most patient gamer. I say all that because I spent almost an hour in the first room. However, I did play in standing room and that made it difficult to pick up some items. I do recommend playing this game with a room-scale setup for that reason to avoid problems. I would say my front facing sensor setup probably added 15 minutes of just sheer frustration. I also noticed the game started with very bad visuals / stuttering video but I simply restarted the game from Steam VR and then it played fine. However, despite those problems (and I don't even blame the dev, it's mostly my front facing setup which I will change to room-scale when I next play this game) I had a lot of fun trying to figure things out. In fact, I was able to slowly piece things together just by thinking things through. Unless you're hopelessly stuck, I don't recommend using walkthroughs or lo…

Awesome game. You will need to be patient as well leave no stone unturned. Their are somtimes multiple ways to find the answer to a problem. I have not personally finished it yet because I am stuck in a particular area, but I am confident i will find the solution. Worth keeping your eye on and seeing what the developers have in store for their following updates.

My video review: https://youtu.be/cBOFEvNw1V4 PROS -Nice ambient atmosphere -Interesting backstory -Sometimes spooky environment but not scary or terrifying -Lots of gameplay, about 8 rooms total CONS -Some performance issues -I wish the flashlight could stick to your hand without squeezing grip constantly All in all, I'd say this is a great value for $10. I think after the next update it could be really special.

Two things about this game ruined the experience for me. For one, you cannot save your progress so every time you must start all the way from the beginning. The second is the awful flickering lights in every single room, which gave me a headache and caused some nausea. Physics are also janky and there were some frame rate issues in the blue hazy area. The flickering on and off lights were the worst though for me and this really made the game not enjoyable.

The lights flickered on and off way too often. A lot of the items are able to be grabbed, so when you try to grab something off of a shelf, you may just pick up the entire shelf and fling everything that was on it away. The lights going on and off just made it annoying to play unfortunately. I finished it though, and it was okay. I also felt the movement was a little difficult. There is no rotation lock so all turning has to be done physically. Which is fine when playing wireless, however players who play with the cord are going to end up tying themselves up.

A Lost Room is a virtual reality escape adventure developed and published by a studio of the same name, designed to recreate the tension and immersion of physical escape rooms within a digital space. Built exclusively for VR platforms, the game places players directly inside a mysterious facility composed of interconnected rooms filled with hidden clues, mechanical puzzles, and environmental challenges. Its ambition lies in translating the tactile, observational nature of real-world escape experiences into a fully interactive three-dimensional environment where presence and perspective matter. From the outset, players awaken in a confined room that feels deceptively simple. The initial puzzles introduce the mechanics of searching, grabbing, and manipulating objects using motion controls. Keys, tools, flashlights, and coded locks form the backbone of early problem-solving. However, as players progress deeper into the complex, the puzzles grow more layered and interconnected. Solutions rarely exist in isolation; clues discovered in one room may only become meaningful much later. This interconnected design encourages attentive exploration and careful memory, rewarding players who rem…
