Temple of Aluxes is a VR-focused adventure and puzzle game developed and published by Silver Machine Studios. Released in 2017, it takes a simple but fitting concept for virtual reality and builds an entire experience around it: entering a mysterious ancient temple, searching for valuable treasures, solving puzzles, and eventually discovering a means of escape. Instead of attempting to deliver a complicated narrative or combat-heavy campaign, the game concentrates on environmental interaction and exploration, making the temple itself the centerpiece of the adventure. The basic gameplay revolves around carefully investigating the temple and understanding how its various objects and mechanisms relate to one another. Players are encouraged to examine their surroundings thoroughly because potentially important clues can be hidden throughout the environment.

I love puzzles and Escape rooms and when I got my rig I bought a bunch of them that I did not play for a while. Now that I have played HL Alex to death I tried a couple of them and I would not recommend this one. I played another one just before this and that had fun puzzles and interesting solutions. Only a couple of times I did not find the puzzles or I had to search for a clue. I've only played the first 2 rooms of this game before uninstalling so the end might be amazing but I was so annoyed by all the hide and seek I had to do. All clues where hidden via infrared light and no puzzles just locks with things to find in the room. Not my favorite experience. So if you love searching for hidden clues and pixel hunt this is the game for you, but not for me.

Badly made. Few instructions and nothing make sense... like you have to "twist" device to make them turn on a vertical axe. Don't waste too much time on this game IMO.

This was a fun little game! Some of the puzzles are less than intuitive but it did extend the game play.

Excellent! Original scanner sphere mechanic. Cartoony low-poly models are easy to the eyes. Books with actual clues, non-puzzle minigames, secret rooms, etc.
