Excellent implementation of a VR-Version of The Room. Had a lot of fun! Highyl recommended, but: BUY IT ON SALE ;-) €30 for approx. 4h gameplay is a bit steep.

The Room series has undergone significant evolution over the years, culminating in its transition to Virtual Reality. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. The shift to VR has been executed seamlessly, offering the pinnacle experience of the series. This installment is a must-play for fans of The Room. Additionally, the inclusion of homages to previous games is a delightful touch that will resonate with long-time players. If you're undecided about purchasing this game, don't hesitateβ€”it's a remarkable addition to the series.

This is exactly the kind of experience that I purchased a VR headset for. While it's certainly a short experience, the environments, the exploration, and the hands-on puzzle solving made this game stand out as one of the best VR experiences I've had so far. I really appreciated that this game maintains a spooky/creepy vibe throughout, but never delves into being a horror game with any sort of jump scares.

I wouldn't recommend this for $30 - it's very short at about 3.5 hours and the mechanics are dated by modern VR standards - but it's not a bad little puzzle game, if you can get it on sale. The presentation does set you up for a bit of a disappointment, though. Shortly after you start, you end up in front of a plinth with 4 triangle markers that fit an artefact you just found which unlocks the first chapter so it seems like you will play 4 chapters, one for each artefact, and you kind of do but I don't know if they ran out of time or budget or what but the 4th chapter is basically nothing so you're left with a "That's it?" feeling at the end. Chapters 1 and 3 are about an hour long, Chapter 2 is a little longer, maybe 1.5 hours, and then Chapter 4 is like 10 minutes, no joke. The story also set up this conflict that just sort of vanishes in the 4th chapter and your character doesn't do anything to resolve it so I get the feeling this definitely intended to have a more fleshed out ending but it was cut short for whatever reason. The first 3 chapters are pretty good, though. It's a lot of escape room style puzzles where everything is kind of obvious and you just have to run around trying to sequence everything together in the right order. It's fun, though, and well-polished. Not the best puzzle game in VR but not bad, either. Just get it on sale.
