About This Game

A wild, multiplayer, puzzle solving, race against time!

Haunting Hour is a cross-platform multiplayer VR escape room experience that mixes a silly atmosphere with serious puzzle solving. Players have one hour to complete a series of physical and mental challenges while brewing potions, chasing cats, and generally wrecking the place. If they can break the spell binding them to the castle, they just might escape before the witch comes home.

Silliness aside, the game is a challenge, and many players will have to make multiple attempts if they want to escape the evil witch’s clutches. The castle is devious, but the rewards are bountiful. Special achievements and challenges will earn players unique costumes. Work hard and communicate with your team or you won’t stand a ghost of a chance!

The witch is out and now the party starts!

+Cross Platform +Fun Escape Room +Well made +/-Price for content -No one online -Somewhat Easy 4/5 If you have anywhere from 2 to 4 people who will buy this and play it with you, I would definitely recommend it. It's a fun quirky and nicely made co-op experience for all VR headsets.

Very beautiful and challenging escape game with nice graphics and a nice story. It still needs some finetuning and polishing and control impovements, but the devs are very responsive and working on it. It is fun to play with your friends and has a great atmosphere. We did not beat it on our first try, but we are looking forward to play it again and complete it. Pros: Multiplayer!! incl ingame voicechat Challanging Nice voiceacting and music Very nice level design Nice story very affordable Cons: Only teleport and no turning (devs said they are working on this) Some smaller issues, like every new released game has Maybe there is, but at least I couln't find a hint system yet. Sum up: If you like escape games and have a friend to play with, definately give this game a try! I personally don't like playing escape games solo, since that takes a lot of the fun. So this was a must have for me.

The art is beautiful, sound design is wonderful, the script is awesome, but the user experience is frustrating. Sooo much potential! Problems I've gotten frustrated with: *Held items still have collision. So trying to hold an item, like a book, can be more difficult than you expect it to be when you are near a wall, for example. *The teleport function requires a twist of the arm, instead of the usual joystick-controlled teleport aim. Something that wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't for the next frustration... *Each time you teleport forward (twisting your hand 90 degrees), to keep going forward you have to twist in the opposite direction each time. I can't explain this one. *Valve Index Knuckles support is sorta there, but the hand pose is wrong so it makes it difficult to play with. Had to switch to HTC Wands. *Having a quick-turn option would be EXTREMELY helpful in this type of game (using joystick left/right or touchpad swipe) *Books constantly fall through floor and disappear comp...

Fun Co Op Escape room Game to play with friends. Picking up items was somewhat buggy and items would randomly jump out of my hands or fall through the floor. But then re appear at the lost and found part. It was also not obvious straight away that you could travel up to the second floor with the movement. Still the game was fun, we only got 2 orbs on our first attempt but looking forward to trying more.

THIS GAME IS AMAZING! I play on my HTC Vive on a computer with less than recommended specs for VR graphics and i have NO problems whatsoever! The gameplay was both fun solo and with friends (tho it is a lot easier if you have more ppl to play with. The room itself feels massive, constantly opening more and more rooms and even when you dont make it the first time, you can play again with a bit of a head start (but some answers are randomized so it will be different). for a VR game, its cheap, running only $6 and an even cheaper escape room, since most are about $25-30 and thats only getting one shot in the room. TLDR: being an avid VR player and escape room junky. I LOVE THIS GAME! Though, its much better if you have at least 1 other friend to play with

Garbage game. Looks like a student project. How is this unrefined, messy, sloppy "game" not listed as Early Access or something? Confusing menus and controls. Confusing start room/lobby. Ugly primitive graphics. It's 2019, people! Why, in this modern age, are these games still looking like the Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" video?!? I don't care how small your studio is. You can at least implement some kind of noise mapping at the bare minimum. So sick of getting fooled into buying indie trash games on Steam. Steam (and especially VR) is overrun by garbage indie crap tricking me out of my money and time. This kind of stuff is what is going to sink VR before it even gets started. Grateful for the refund policy.

The game lagged like no tomorrow compared to other VR games i was quite dissapointed it had a really cool design, and the story teller was comedic and the idea seemed cool. In practicality like previously stated it was bad frames and we had props glitch through the floor with no way of getting them back. I do wish the best for this game and hope it improves in the future at the moment its unplayable for myself.
