EscapeVR: The Basement

EscapeVR: The Basement

I loved this game. So far this is my favorite escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. Its short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! Also this was a good intro to VR game. My aunt said she would just take a look for a minute. She ended up playing this for over a half hour. As a non-gamer everything in this came naturally to her.

Quite good I’d say, even if I wasn’t able to complete it. I love the look of this game, and other similar games like Welcome Home, Love. It’s got that kinda 3d Studio Max, AutoCad kinda look. It might look like old style computer graphics, but the result is always unique compared to today’s soup of store bought bump-mappy assets. They made other games like this, I don’t think I’ve played them, and they might be on the harder side, so if you’re stupid, like me, it could be hard to escape. Physics/object interactions are above average if I recall.

! I like how it’s 8.99 and not 9.99, which shows conscientiousness. https://youtu.be/Wsh7G_MBdv8

I am disappointed with the game, I think it just wasn’t for and was not what I expected. If you can’t handle clunky controls think twice before buying this. In every single level the game annoyed me with its controls in some way.

I understand that it’s a port, but it could have been done better.

EDIT: Turns out the game is not a port, but a multi platform release. Which does excuse the controls somewhat, since releasing on mobile and PC is difficult. However since PC is the main market for the game, I still believe it could have been done better.

This piano melody seems vaguely familiar…

Heal sets you in the shoes of an unnamed old man as he wakes up from a dreamless sleep. However, the house he wakes up in is different from what you’d expect. Instead of waking up to the same old room, the door is locked and the only way to unlock it is to solve some puzzles around the room. From here, you guide the old man through seven different rooms where you’ll solve many puzzles along the way.

Heal is pretty easy to pick up, both from how it controls and how the puzzles are designed. You control the old man’s movement by just clicking where you want him to go with icons popping up for items or areas that you can interact with. These icons do require you to hold them down for about two seconds, but you’ll pretty quickly get used to it. Usually, this includes zooming into a puzzle (where you’ll be able to click or drag moving pieces), but it also includes looking through a cracked door or a window to see a puzzle hint/solution and walking through a door to get to the next chapter.
