Escape Artist: The Trial

Escape Artist is short and simple, to the point that I wouldn't recommend it if it was any more expensive. I appreciate that it takes the route of making the room allign with the size of your play space so that you don't have to do any teleporting or sliding, though this does alienate some of the playerbase with small rooms. The only thing that really distinguishes this game from other escape game is the light focus on destroying things, but as entertaining as smashing things is it's done kind of strangely. You can't just pick up a brick and smash it against a bottle, for example; you have to find the rod to use as a handle and stick it into the brick, after which you can start smashing things. The game also defaults to Epic settings, which didn't run very well at all for me even with fairly high specs (though still fairly average specs by VR standards, a GTX 970 and an i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz) even with async reprojection turned on, so I'd recommend turning down the settings, though whether...

Great room escape experience and it runs flawlessly with a GTX 980Ti. The graphics look great and the room adjusts to the size of your playspace which adds to the overall immersion. Some things are destructible and you can interact with 95% of the environment. The price is great and this is a absolute fun game to show to your friends as it is easy to grasp on, even as a first time VR experience.

This game unfortunately didn't run too well. Too short and not challenging enough. Also, I got 2 of the keys in ways that didn't make any sense. I shouldn't be allowed to poke my head through certain obstructed areas just to get a key. I hope that was a bug and not the actual solution. My biggest critique, though, is that the environment was way too dark. I had trouble seeing things because of this. What is the obsession with dark escape rooms? The better VR escape rooms out there are actually all very well lit. Focus on the puzzle elements and make it longer.

The game was jittery even with gtx1080 and a bit too short, i spent 15min escaping the room.

This game ran fine for me other than a weird height issue that I was able to work around. The normal level is pretty short, but the hard mode is a significant jump. Definitely worth checking out. Ignore the old bad reviews about bugs.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

I LOVE ROOM ESCAPE games but sadly.....I can't recommend this game... Its WAY TOO DARK and even wtih the little "flashlight" you still can't see crap! Im running an i7 4790K and a 1080 SC GPU and still have glitchy/studdering issues. Refund has been requested Save your money and pass this one up!

I don't think I've ever played a more buggy, jittery game in my life. No challenge what-so-ever. Poor textures. Frame rate drops constantly on an i7, gtx 1070. I wouldn't play this game even if it were free. Just not worth the time.

easy but not annoyingly so. Nice start-up, cant wait for more....
