BATTLESCAR: Punk Was Invented By Girls
Got it for 56 cents as a part of a bundle. Still got disappointed.
To be fair, it is well executed in terms of visual storytelling and cinematography. Some really creative sets there!
Unfortunately, these can’t do much if the narrative and the main characters are bland and uninteresting. The abrupt and undercooked ending made the already underwhelming story - a complete waste of time for me.
Also, it is an oculus exclusive, has a good amount of gender politics at its core, and if your chapter gets interrupted, like USB disconnection (thanks AMD) you need to suffer through the whole chapter without the option to skip forward.

As a VR artist, I really enjoyed this experience. It is quite daring in terms of the format of narrative and also mixing a kind of “book” feel into the VR aesthetic. I would recommend it for any VR artists as a source of inspiration.
The story is not the best however, a bit tacky and shallow but still enjoyable.
Disappointed that it took much longer to get on Steam than on Oculus Store and also that they only support Oculus headsets, especially since there are almost no interactions (any?), so it’s not like supporting controllers of other headsets would’ve been difficult.

A Wake Inn
Very good exploration puzzle horror game…
Graphics are excellent, audio sfx are on point, performance takes a dip some times, but its not constant or overtly annoying (i have a 1080).
The ambience on this game is really well done, you feel the tension in every room and part of the building.
Story flows at a good pace, and while it was a bit confusing at first i got the gist of it and understood what what happening.
The inventory system is really cool, like no holsters or menus, you grab stuff and place it in your carry on, it has a few mechanics that make you think “hey thats pretty clever use of vr”.

This is one of the most atmospheric and immersive games I’ve played in VR. The environments are beautiful, eerie, and richly detailed. The ambient sounds are entrancing. The hotel feels expansive but the environments gently guide you in the right direction as you progress. The level of horror has been just right for me so far. It’s slow and creepy but punctuated by moments of intense action and unsettling discoveries.
As other reviewers have mentioned, your experience with this game might be spoiled by the awkwardness of the controls or by motion sickness. My will to progress in this game has often been at odds with my stomach. I settled upon using the joystick mounted on the wheelchair for movement in the game. I found this method to be immersive while allowing me to play short sessions with minimal discomfort. The comfort settings are helpful, but I would prefer that the game include an option for reduced FOV for all movement, not just turning.

‘Altarays’ is a 5 minute slightly interactive experience that sees you touching some woman’s head, being transported to ancient Egypt and sitting down while dark ghosts surround you and a snake comes to say hello. What? Do you want more than that for £5.99? Tough, because that is all there is. Even if this…”experience” was free I would be struggling to recommend it, but given the £5.99 price tag, it makes things a little easier for me. Avoid this, it’s crap, pointless and vastly overpriced.

Dead or Mad
In the depth of swamps, where neither caravans nor conqueror’s army don’t go, where robbers, looters and such find a secure shelter from the justice, there is a small village. People there had been living their complicated, but quiet lives. They were fishing, gathering berries and mushrooms, but spending evenings in the local tavern to brighten their existence this way. The time there seemed to stop and nothing could destroy the peace. They would still live like this, but fate decreed otherwise. One by one they began to go missing and go mad, while others had died of disease. The reason is unknown. Probably, the place is cursed or the residents have done something for which they should be punished. You’ll have to go through many dangers and find the cause of all these ills, but don’t expect help from the locals. They’ll probably keep something from you.

TIMESCAPE: Altitude
Its a VERY hard escape the room game, probably the hardest ive played. Played for ~2hrs and i couldnt finish it… i was stuck most of the time, so not many puzzles solved or anything like that.
I think it has to do with some solutions where quite hard to make sense of.
Like, the very first puzzle, you start “chained” and have to find the code to your lock… the answer is right in front of you, but when i finally solved it, WHY would “THAT” be the combination??
There arent any clues to make me think those 2 things are related between them or even with my lock.

👍I Expect You To Fly?
I love that being trapped alone on a crashing plan adds a REAL REASON to want to escape!
Overall, you can expect a set of HIGHLY unique and “real world” based puzzles, where all the answers are there, but it’s still tricky. It’s not as “big studio polished” as the more well know and comical based “spy’s who die” escape rooms are. So don’t go in expecting that.
😃 Best way to play is…
It’s super fun to play while in our Voice Chat, so other’s can taunt/help/sabotage you in a playful way. A few in our Steam Group (link below) have been doing that and loving it. Brings a whole new level to the fun.
