Submerged: VR Escape the Room

Updated review following developer update. What a great premise for a room scale game this is - trapped in a room filling with up water. Two cardinal VR sins with the first release have been addressed by the developer (no hands and wall clipping). This is a decent room puzzler with great graphics and a fun experience to show off Vive room scale - pitched at a reasonable price. The drowning scenario adds a real urgency to the game, loved it. This is what VR is all about - deserves a place in every VR collection.

The shortest Room Escape out there, it has literally 4 puzzles and they are not even original. Also for the game on Unreal Engine 4 it looks and handles absolutely awful. I liked the rising water gimmick though, at least it adds something new to the experience.

This game was fun, but ultimately, only 15-20 minutes long. I'm not expecting miracles for a game that's only $5, but having more than one room would have made it a much better value. Graphics are good, controls are good, and once they fix the hands, it will be much more immersive. I will keep this as a vr demonstration for friends.

Played on HTC Vive Pro/RTX2060Super. Well, it's an OK escaperoom (pretty short, about 4 puzzles). I'm not the best puzzler so I definitely had some problems with the puzzles. For me the first real puzzle only partially made sense as the second part I could not connect it to the visuals and for me it was more on luck, at least that's what it seemed to me. The current price of 3.99 is well, it all depends on how much you spend on longer games. As I can remember, I bought it OR part of a cheap bundle on indiegala OR in a sale, but then it would probably have been about 1 euro max. Blue Entropy Studios make the same type of escaperoom games, so if you didn't like the others you won't like this, if you did, you also might like this one.

Got this on sale, was a fun little game. I'm using an Oculus Rift. Recently added a 3rd sensor and it made a big difference in this case since you have to interact with things behind you. Although the game is short I would recommend it. I'm glad the developer added graphics for the hands, however it would be nice if the hands actually reacted to the touch controllers so you could point, make a fist, etc.

Just ok, not very long and not very difficult so more of a neutral thumbs up. I would like to have seen point to pick up as an option as I did drop one thing on the floor and was hard to pick up due to setup for the sensors, not everyone is able to have the ideal sensor setup due to furniture etc, although I'm on 3 sensors(rift) I do have issues if things are dropped too far below the view of the sensors.

Pretty cool. Recommend the bundle, worth the money.

Great atmospheric escape room where your enemy is the rising water. Hold your breath for extra realism! It's very well done albeit short. Just be grateful drowning is considered an achievement!

I bought this solely for the water/claustrophobic/drowning element - as I've played a crap ton of "escape the room" VR games and they've slightly lost their appeal to me. I know I'm not alone in this regard, so if you're like me then yes, it's worth the money. It feels realistic (they've updated the game to have hands), the sound effects (especially underwater) are spot on, graphics are solid...

Meh. Beat in 23m.
