The Gleam: VR Escape the Room

I'm not really convinced by this game. Positive: + Good graphics + Nice idea of reusing the space again and again (that's the best of this game) Negative: - No real riddles - Jump scares are simply not necessary and destroyed the fun for me - No story - Very short, even for this little money

So far I've found 4 keys and not been able to progress past the first part because none seem to fit the cupboard. I also lost my flashlight when it fell through the floor and departed from the universe. Still, I will wait for the bug fixes beacuse this game is edgy as shit and I'm a sucker for escape games.

In short, the game neither satisfied my craving for puzzles nor horror. The game was too short and there really was not much of a puzzle to solve. There was nothing clever about it as it was just a mini treasure hunt for keys which were placed in plain sight. I would have finished in about 5-10 minutes if it wasn't for recurring bugs that led to me having to restart the game every time. The horror element to the game is pretty cheap. Just a 3D model that pops up with a loud sound, a flickering light, and themed music. The only good thing I have to say about this is the devs are active and have fixed one bug that was causing me problems, and will probably fix the other bugs that damaged my experience.

Very buggy game. The horror element is made up of a cheap jumpscare. The only positive that I can think of is that you have to crawl through a tunnel, wich was fun. I would wait for a massive deal, like 75% to be worth it.

Loved it, short but sweet escape room with a nice little mechanic in it near the end. Great atmosphere, cant complain for the price, well worth picking up :-)

This game is REALLY short! Steam tells me I’ve been playing for 13 minutes and that’s how long it took me to finish the game. And I even had to restart once since my flashlight got lost (glitched outside of the play area). During my short gameplay I experienced a couple of jumpscares, claustrophobic moments, and some pretty basic puzzles. And it was delivered with an excellent use of roomscale. I loved it! I do not recommend buying this for the full price of 4 dollars. However, if you’re buying The Cabin (a much better game from the same developer) you’ll get this one pretty cheap in the bundle.

It's a fun and short game, and really funny to watch friends crawl around in the floor. Some of the objects were a bit buggy, but nothing gamebreaking. Definitely worth the price.

very short. very glitchy. not fun.

The dev should be ashamed of himself

Kinda glitchy, but still neat. Definitely worth the dollar I paid.
