SVRVIVE: The Deus Helix

Since nobody is reviewing this game, I'll give my first impressions after a bit less than an hour of gameplay (and update it once I'd played more). Note that I progressed quite fast in the first level because I already played the demo before (it's the same level). First of all, despite the game, this is not a survival game, but a riddle or escape-the-room-like game. It feels really cool to be driven into a story in VR, I must admit that this seems to me to be one of the first games on Vive to offer a real scenario. Graphics are really good, and scenes are made with an obvious sense of detail, although it looks like for some reason, I'm more annoyed by Vive's halo glares in this game than on most of others (maybe because of a high contrast in luminosity within the scenes). Aliasing is barely noticeable given this kind of detailed graphics. Physics are good (like not as good as Cowbots vs Aliens, but much better than a Chair in a Room), they sometimes glitch a bit, but nothing ridicul...

"One of the longest VR games to date" - Boy, we sure are lacking in long VR games, then, aren't we.. The premise is interesting, and I do love a good puzzle, but I didn't really find this one all that compelling. The puzzles aren't exactly groundbreaking, and while the story has potential, it's marred by poor writing and awkward voice acting. A lot of visual glitching, too, like rocks that only exist if you're not looking at them.. Textures are pretty bad overall, except for the "important" objects, and there's a lot of loud ambient noise that makes some of the puzzles headache-inducing in the wrong way. The fact that it was easily completed in 4 hours (and only because some of the puzzles are of the "what the f*** do you even want from me?"-style until you find the one object you need to poke the other object with) with no replay value doesn't help it either, and the whole thing really just feels more like a demo. On the whole, if they improve the writing and get a little less awkw...

This game is like six escape room games each played out on a grand scale and linked together by a pretty interesting plot. To me that was the big alure of this game, instead of spending $5 on a game that will take me roughly an hour to complete and then never touch again (the sad reality of escape rooms, they're only fun once) I picked this little gem up on sale for $10 and got around six hours of amazing gameplay! Pros: - The price, even though I got it on sale I can enthusiastically say that I would not have minded one bit paying the full price. - The graphics, the places this game takes you are all very visually engaging and in some cases absolutly breathtaking! - The voice acting - The overall tone, this game managed to create an intense and at times creepy atmosphere using only music and visuals (this game has NO JUMPSCARES). There were also some humorous moments too! Cons: - A couple of the puzzles had very unclear instructions and I had to look up a walkthrough to figure ...

So i just played the first two missions and have to say that i like this Game alot. As others wrote this is a Escape the room type of game where you have to solve puzzles to progress. The difficulty is just right in my Opinion, but im not very good at puzzle games so maybe others would disagree with this. The Story as far as i experienced it is good too. I really want to know what the Deus Helix is and if my "employer" is telling the truth. And there seems to be more than one faction involved too. That is what VR needs most in my Opinion: A good story that keeps the player interested. There are way too many VR Games that have no Story at all and you just shoot things up. Another thing thats good is that they finished the first Chapter before releasing it. Im fed up with EA Titles that promise alot and deliver nothing. So keep up the good work Devs, i hope this Game sells well so that you can continue this project.

I found myself being surprised by SVRVIVE (Which I presume is more a pun of Survey and Survive rather than exclusivly the latter, but that could be anyone's guess). In the two hours I've gotten to the fourth 'Room' and I feel like I'm in a position to make a first impression. PROs + Limited 'Adventure Game Logic' outside of a single entity thus far. That axe knows what it did. I wouldn't of thought of using an axe to do that. + Some really nice enviroments. SVRVIVE Studios go to town with their time-travel concept. You'll find yourself going from some dingy basement on earth to the CEO's office of a dying alien world. Its varied and when allowed, colourful (more on this in the cons section). + Is actually a finished product. There's no 'Early Access' tag here. This is a complete product. It may not be the most lengthy, but it certainly feels worth the buck. + The levels themselves are nicely self contained - These aren't marathon affairs for the most part. CONS - It's too damn dar...

Wow. This game looks great! Loved the demo, so cant wait to continue the story. Got to the third level at this point, and i cant wait to play some more. I highly recommend this game to everybody who likes "escape room"type games. Big up to the neighbour country for making this game 👍✌️

This game is great. I havent enjoyed a mystery game so much since I played A Chair in a Room. I had a problem with one of the levels having questionable gameplay, and it was fixed within a day. The developer of the level himself even commented here. Thanks for the quick response. Looking forward to more from this studio.

I've played the short demo and now the release. Still working my way through the last level. I'm only giving this a negative review due to my repeated frustration with the mechanics and general bugginess of the game at release(even after the latest patches). Warning: Potential Spoilers Ahead(to address issues with game) On many occasions, I've had to restart a level due to certain objects going missing/being lost by clipping in the world. The third level(pirate ship) proved to be especially troublesome. It took several attempts(and some luck) to finish this one due to buginess. For example, the first attempt, I haphazardly found the key to the cupboard from the captain's desk. I slid a switch thingy and noticed it just laying there, so I knew that's where it came from. I proceeded no futher on that attempt due to the loss of controller bug. When that was fixed I tried again, but this time I could not get the key to appear no matter what I did. That's when I discovered that m...

Back when the demo for SVRVIVE was released, it was my first VR experience. I absolutely loved it, the atmosphere it created and really hoped the rest of the game would stack up to it. It didn't, but it was a good experience. When I played the demo the idea of travelling to the 1970's felt epic, creepy and a little like something straight out of Stephen Kings The Dark Tower mixed with the visual aesthetic of Se7en. When I appeared in the 70's it felt like a different place and time, especially compared to where I was previously. That, coupled with the creepy visuals, the fact that you could HEAR the guardian walking around upstairs and THAT moment with the purple light-bulb, it promised something that was more horror sci fi than anything else. However, the full game just didn't live up to what the demo promised me. I expected and wanted to perhaps transport to a German Bunker during WWII on the brink of being bombed, on the Orient Express amid a murder mystery, under a Colosseum in...

I just finished this game. I REALLY enjoyed it. I can't wait to see what the story has to offer in the next one!
