About This Game

EscapeVR: The Basement is an 'Escape The Room' genre game which was inspired by real-life escape games and designed from the ground up as a room-scale virtual reality experience for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift+Touch (360° setup), and Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets.

Your Mission

You find yourself locked in the cell of an unknown basement with nothing else than a bed, a toilet, and some dishes. Can you escape? Explore the environment, solve puzzles, discover useful items, investigate clues, and find your way through a total of seven rooms in three areas to -hopefully- escape the basement of this VR escape room game!

A Gamer's Review

"… I loved this game. So far this is my favorite VR escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. It's short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! …"

Features


  • Solve over a dozen puzzles, which includes smaller ones like finding keys or codes up to large ones which involve complex interactions with daunting machinery. Look, feel, and ambiance are based on corresponding real-life environments.
  • Explore three distinct areas with seven rooms, a total of 130 square meters, and more than 200 items to interact with. The game is designed for room scale and features a teleporting system similar to “The Lab”.
  • In case you get stuck, a built-in hint system provides you with clues. You’ll also get in-game statistics about your performance, and there are Steam achievements to unlock!

Will you take on the challenge?
Will you manage to escape the basement?

  • You need to be able to reach up to 1.9m.

It was fun, and a promising start for the VR Escape Room genre, but it is far from $12 of content. I beat the game in under 20 minutes. Basically $1 per 1.5 minutes of gameplay.

This game is a little more expensive than previous escape room VR games, but I think it makes up for the price with its quality. It's longer than any other escape game I've played here (it's actually 3 interconnected rooms), and the general visual quality is a pretty nice change from previous escape games; it's the first VR escape game I've played that felt like a finished product, and not a hobby project made by one guy. The title seems to imply that it's the first entry in a potential series, so hopefully they keep going with it.

Uninteresting puzzles. Simple graphics. Very short. I feel bad saying this, but it's really not worth the asking price. Something more in the range of $0 to $3 would be more appropriate.

Best escape game around so far There is teleporting, but at this stage that isn't a big immersion breaker for me Enough items to leave you questioning what is used and what is distraction Just the right amount of challenge

A well made Escape game. It's not long, but I was entertained throughout the experience and the quality is quite good. The puzzles were not too difficult or annoying (it's one thing to have the player wondering while sitting comfortably, but it's different if he's standing with added weight to the head). All in all a fun game absolutely worth 10$/€.

I love these types of games! In Toledo we have an actual real life escape place with different options. Loved doing it with my friends and any time I see an Escape Room VR game I have to get it. This is probably the best one out of the group I've tried in VR! GET IT!

I loved this game. So far this is my favorite escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. Its short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! Also this was a good intro to VR game. My aunt said she would just take a look for a minute. She ended up playing this for over a half hour. As a non-gamer everything in this came naturally to her.

A very solid escape the room VR game. Like most in the genre, the physics are a bit rough, but the manipulation of objects is much smoother than most, and the highlighting really helps encourage the exploration that makes these games fun.

I think this is the best VR room escape game i have tried! It does a great job of capturing the spirit of the classic internet browser genre. I look forward to seeing what the dev creates next.

Easily the best VR escape I've played yet. Good level of difficulty, easy to understand. I hope there's much more to come! A episodic game with a season pass would be awesome.
