About This Game

Escape the Bunker is a room escape game, similar to the popular real-life escape games. It features half a dozen different interconnected rooms, with various puzzles to solve and a small bit of suspense towards the end.

There are no “jump scares”, and nobody is trying to kill you. It’s a problem-solving game, in which you use your reasoning skills to find ways of opening doors, unlocking locks and using a variety of items to move forwards through the game and eventually Escape the Bunker.

Play times vary from 40 minutes to just over an hour, depending on how familiar you are with this genre of game.

Features:
  • full room scale experience
  • push-to-walk movement (no teleporting)
  • half a dozen rooms
  • dozens of items
  • puzzles all make logical sense
  • professional voice acting (used sparingly)

I am not very impressed with the game. From looks to execution, everything just feels lacking. The first thing that will hit you is how poor the textures are. They look like they were from the late 90's. Second is the locomotion. While billed as a feature, the push-to-walk requires too much spinning around, and as usual comes with the slight motion sickness compared to teleportation. I find it hard to keep the game's walls lined up with my Chaperone bounds because you can't just eyeball and line up the bounds and teleport there. Third is carrying of stuff. There's a lot of stuff in the first room, and you don't know what you actually need, so you end up having to toss pretty much everything into elevators, then toss them back out. Lastly, it's quite easy to get into situations where you're stuck between floors, because while there are invisible walls in-game, they don't exist in the physical world, and the game does not gracefully handle you getting off an elevator platform while it's ...

There are a lot of good escape rooms and a lot of bad ones, and I've played a lot of both, but I've never played one I couldn't finish, until now. I can forgive the game's generally poor visual quality if the puzzles are good, but this game has one glaring problem. Escape the Bunker has a novel concept of having multiple rooms separated vertically by elevators, but the elevators are extremely glitchy. Items you find on the top floor are needed in lower floors, but leaving items on the floor of the elevators is a recipe for disaster because of how often they just end up spazzing out and clipping through the floor, but sometimes your flashlight glues itself to your hand, forcing you to carry items back and forth one at a time. I don't know how this game ends, because the only ending I've ever gotten is the one where you accidentally send an elevator back up while you're not standing on it, effectively breaking the game, and then "escaping" through the hole in the universe that is cleverl...

Okay where do I start - in my opinion, this is one of the best of 'Escape Room' type of games for the Vive/SteamVR. I thoughly enjoyed playing it! This game hits the difficulty level perfectly - not so hard where you get frustrated but not so easy where you think it's childs play! There's more than 1 room - there's room progression to be made and there's a connective purpose to doing so - both combined makes the overall experience great! The game takes between 40 minutes to about 1+1/2 hour - this is dependent on how quick you can solve the puzzles and progress. I can't really say anymore as I don't want to issue spoilers! I found the game to be quite inventive tbh. The graphics are fine - I have no complaints! Three people in my family played this game at the same time and each a little bit on their own - wife, daughter and myself and we all concluded it was enjoyable. This game is well worth buying for 3-4 dollars or in my case nearly £3.

The game has huge potential. I actually really liked the puzzles that I encountered, but the mechanics are, to put it midly, garbage. The physics are broken with items disappearing from your hands that never resurface, other items fall through the floor and end up on different levels, The combination lock in the beginning seems to work only by chance and has no audio/visual cues to let you know if it's working at all. Again, the way the puzzles are designed is pretty interesting with some unique moments, but the execution is EXTREMELY lacking. I actually had to restart the game after some items disappeared, and when I got back to the beginning, I couldn't get the combination lock to fluke open again (which happened the first time through as it decided to open when putting in the first number for the 5th time.) I gave up after that as it wasn't worth the frustration and I literally couldn't progress. With a few patches, this game would be worth picking up, but as it is now, it's a ha...

I love escape games, especially in VR. This is one of the most elaborate I've seen, with multiple rooms and multiple levels. Challenging and super fun. If you like escape games, too, I recommend it.

I gave this game multiple tries, multiple chances, and it is honestly the worst VR title I have tried yet. Basically the janky physics will make it impossible to complete Escape the Bunker. Items will randomally drop out of your hands. Bumping anything with an item in your hand will make it bounce out of your hand. Items will randomally ignore collisions, falling through tables, or even the floor. Using one of the many elevators in the game will make you drop objects or cause other items you arent touching to move or lose collision. I literally walked through the first generator door holding the axe, had it spaz out of my hand, rocket around the room and cause a chain reaction of physics objects to all gain incredible velocity, wrecking the first room instantly. The chaos even caused items to fly up into the first room from rooms below. This was less than five minutes into my fifth attempt to play. After multiple attempts I haven't been able to make it past the fifth room because th...

Thumbs up only because there's no neutral option. TL;DR: Good puzzles, tons of glitches. Don't play if you can't deal with borked mechanics. The puzzle and room design is well done with cleverly hidden clues. I was screaming at the combination padlock at first, but after reading the manual for it a third time, it worked rather well and to be honest, the real ones can be as finicky as this virtual one. Some of the items have no purpose, but I was grinning from ear to ear when I found out what the axe was for. But the actual game implementation and in-game physics? Broken as ****! I had to restart the game 5 times because of this and there's no save game or even a menu, so I had to restart from the beginning. The only reason I even finished is because once you know how all the puzzles work it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to play through the game, so I didn't really loose that much time, but seriously. I tried to look into the ventilation shaft in the first room, it's dark, but ...

Few glitches with losing items. The interact point is mostly in the palm and you gotta flat hand stuff. Aside from that, pretty good escape room. Very worth the money.
