✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this budget VR exploration game for its tomb-raiding theme, decent graphics, and creative puzzle-solving, with many finding it a worthwhile experience despite its short 60-minute runtime. Common complaints include repetitive puzzle mechanics, lack of snap turning, excessive climbing sections that cause physical fatigue, clipping bugs, and audio issues for some players, along with occasional game-breaking glitches that require restarting.

Watch my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/sj5eEmi4CDA [h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] I bought this in the Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2019 for $1.49 USD. I think this game is a good bargain at that price. Game worked with absolutely no issues on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. Locomotion is either full locomotion or arm-swing, neither option has smooth / snap turning. You have to look where you want to go. I do prefer full locomotion in this game, although some of the traps seem easier to navigate through with full locomotion so you may want arm-swing for that extra added difficulty. I would call this game a very light / casual puzzle adventure game where you explore an ancient pyramid full of traps and very easy to solve puzzles. The puzzles are mostly find the symbol / object type game. It does feel like a walking simulator for 3/4 of the game. Then the last part of the game starts and it pretty much changes into a platformer / climbing stamina game. I found the last part difficult mostly because it is so long and you have so much climbing to do. [u]Whole experience took me approximately 75 minutes to finish.[/u] Combat is way too…

Great game, If you like Tomb raiding you will love this game. Mummies, Tombs and traps and climbing. Its your chance to make it out of the Tomb. Graphics are decent, cannot snap turn, puzzles are easy and fun, climbing was challenging for a workout lol Simple AI but this is a game for exploring Tombs.

Played on HTC Vive Pro/Vive wands 1.0/RTX2060Super. Wel, it's an ok game, but it needs work IMHO. There's a lot of repitition, it's basically look for the blocks with the image and set the dials to the appropriate images, and then, at the end it's all climbing, oh and a few levers, and some mummies. It should have been better to have the climbing more scattered through the game, it just was too much, my shoulders started to hurt because you have to keep your arms pretty long in the air. I did run into getting stuck in the wooden stairs/planks, sometimes really jumping fixed it, but one time I had to restart the game. Also the locomotion is ok with the arm swing, but it also seems to have trackpad motion, I only tested the arm swing. The graphics look ok, but it had some 'monstermaze vr' tags throughout the game which was a bit immersion breaking. Would I recommend the game? hmmm.. if you can get it on sale for $2 orso. I got it as part of the 'Virtual Reality V' bundle on indiegale back in march 2017, and those bundles mostly were 5 euro's or something like that and contained 10 games.

7/10 I like this, and I recommend it. There are very clunky moments, and I encountered a number of clipping bugs, but it is challenging, scary and fun. Well worth the money, but be aware that there is only 60 minutes playtime here.

The game is stuck for me from the beginning. Can't even move.

As it stands I purchased this game and the audio stutters and echos making it unplayable from the very start. I've tried playing it for a few minutes but the audio will drive you nuts. This is the only game I have issues with using my VIVE, and my PC is far from under powered. If the developers would respond to my email and help me fix the issue, i will alter my review after actually being able to play the game. As it stands currently, it was a waste of money.
