About Fade Out

✦ AI summary

Solve a series of escalating puzzles in a morphing virtual room with no combat or jump scares, just pure escape room logic and atmosphere. This VR experience brings classic escape room gameplay to your home with full exploration freedom and a creepy Finnish soundtrack that works for players of any age.

Welcome to Fade Out, our first classical escape room experience, developed for virtual reality devices. In this game, there are no zombies or monsters, just different puzzles of variable complexity.
Our goal with Fade Out is to experiment with this gaming genre and to bring an escape room to the player's living room.
One riddle follows another, as one room keeps mutating in other forms - small steps on your road to the main question. Do you think it is possible to escape?
Fade Out is a single player virtual reality game, available for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
If your actual room is small, or if you prefer playing the game sitting on the sofa, you can use the built-in teleport system. The game is violence-free and although it is based in unsetting environments, it can be played by gamers of any age.
Fade Out is created by a very small and multicultural team from different countries (5 countries for 10 people).

SEVEN GOOD REASONS TO PLAY FADE OUT

  • HTC Vive and Oculus Rift(soon): the best HMDs for the best gaming experiences
  • Six Degrees of Freedom: explore every detail, touch everything, look everywhere
  • Real first-person experience: you and the room
  • Walk or teleport: for every room size (and lazy developers)
  • Violence free: mystery and suspense for everybody
  • Creepy soundtrack: composed by the darkest Finnish composer
  • Puzzles of growing difficulty: do not be tricked if you think in the beginning that it's too easy

Another VR escape the room game but this one doesn't show you the whole room right from the start. As you collect clues more of the room is shown to you providing a new angle to a saturated VR genre. See Video first play here: https://youtu.be/dxh0AqysA-k I've become a little blaze about VR escape the room games. As there are so many out there already, in fact, this and VR rhythm games are the most heavily populated categories in VR so far. Here we were thinking wave shooters would be the go-to for devs in VR. At first, it was but now it's a long way behind in third place to these other genres of VR games. Anyway back on subject, Fade out VR escape the room is a very good looking VR game. None of the usual over anti-aliasing is seen and everything looks nice and sharp. The colours used and some of the artwork looks very good giving an almost Film Noir look to the game. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looks compared to other VR escape the room games and only a few of my very favourite escape games in VR looked batter. The gameplay is fine although it's been a little not so much solving puzzles than just finding clues so far. The first room was pretty simple and so far …

Fade Out is atmospheric VR room escape game with a twist. Every time you do something right the room changes in some way and it makes the game feel fresh and exciting. The rooms are pretty different from one another and there are clever puzzles in each of them. Puzzles are not too hard but I did spend quite a long time in the first room. Pros: - Creepy atmosphere with matching soundscape - Hard enough puzzles to be entertaining but not too hard to make you stop playing - If you like room escape games, then this one is for you! Cons: - Sometimes the lighting can be a bit awkward

I bought this game because it was described as a classical escape room where you can "touch everything" and "explore every detail". I found that to not be the case, unfortunately. I disliked the overall gameplay; if you're hoping for a traditional escape room, this isn't it. After you find one clue, the next area of the room to explore is revealed. I prefer the room to be complete from the beginning. I can appreciate trying something different, but they should have made it more clear in the description and not call it a classical escape room experience. I haven't completed the game, but so far the rooms have all been very short and uninteresting. The background sounds are creepy, as promised, but don't seem to vary much. Some of the controls aren't very intuitive, such as the room in which you have to punch in numbers on a phone (it was pretty frustrating). The description of the game said you can touch everything and explore every detail. I kept expecting the drawers and cabinets to open, however, very few of them actually did. Even if they contain no pertinent pieces of information, I still want to be able to actually look through everything. I think the way I would describe this…

I played more or less 2 hours, i enjoyed the first 5 rooms, the ambient sounds are great, the graphic is cool but in a specific objects like a telephone buttons and clock it's hard interacting properly with them.

Very poor. Lighting does not work, sound effects do not match their objects, game is quite buggy and does not close when commanded. Also managed to hard-lock the computer, which takes skill.

Like this. It is 6 - 7 short escape room puzzles with a really cool atmosphere. Recommended.
