I honestly don't know why so many people liked this game. The gameplay is boring. The story doesn't make sense. I almost fell asleep. You're supposed to walk slow and whack guards with a stick or sneak around. There's marked dark areas and you cover your eyes to get into "thief vision". So hide in dark corners, watch patrols, and walk slow. Rinse and repeat. There's no depth to the gameplay. Worst of all, it's inconsistent. Guards would sometimes just catch you even though you did the same thing last time and were able to knock them out. Sorry, I can't give a game a proper chance when it's this shallow.

ROGAN: The Thief in the Castle is a virtual reality stealth adventure developed and published by Smilegate that sets out to capture the fantasy of being a lone infiltrator moving silently through a hostile medieval stronghold. From the moment you step into Castle Blackstone, the game leans heavily on atmosphere and physical presence, using VR’s strengths to immerse you in a world of stone corridors, guarded halls, and whispered conspiracies. Rather than relying on fast-paced action or complex systems, it emphasizes slow, deliberate movement, careful observation, and the tension of being an outsider in a place where you very clearly do not belong. The narrative frames you as Rogan, a skilled thief who enters the castle with personal motives but soon becomes entangled in a larger mystery involving political intrigue and a falsely accused knight. Storytelling is handled in a restrained manner, conveyed through conversations, environmental details, and occasional scripted moments rather than cinematic cutscenes. This approach keeps the focus on exploration and stealth, allowing the plot to unfold organically as you move through the castle. While the story itself is not especially comp…

This is just thrash, not a game. In the settings, to put the statue on the right button, I had to stretch my arm forward all the way (and I have very long arms), then pull forward the statue and throw it on the right button. You can't play the game, they constantly block the joystick with idiotic messages. Turn only snap and works once every ten presses. In short, it is impossible to play. Refund.
