A VR escape room:
\nCan you unlock the secrets contained within the room? You can’t escape on your own.
\nTested on a Meta Quest 2. This is a room-scale VR experience. You won’t need to teleport or move beyond your starting position.

\nI did not understand the riddle n°2. Having a quick look on the code, I guess it was supposed to be a maze with letters, but a blank page was displayed instead in my case. Too bad. At least I’m happy it was not something that I misunderstood.

\nAh, yes, you’re right. It is a maze, and I can see the link is broken. I guess I can’t fix that now the game is submitted. That’s a shame - thank you for flagging it.

I love escape room-style games, and this was a great use of the space - it really makes you think. Good music, but I miss sound effects. I couldn’t find all the symbols and didn’t quite figure out what the final word was supposed to be. Still, I had a great time playing! It took me a little while at the beginning to understand what I needed to do. Excellent work!

\nThe game looks great but I think it could do with a bit of feedback sound effects, though the music was pretty atmospheric.

I love the concept. I wasn’t able to find the solution. I assume I’m looking for 13 letters but couldn’t find them all. It really needs more sound effects but I understand that’s limited by the 13k.

Then I tried it again in my headset, figured it out (thanks for not holding my hand there), and it was actually quite fun to play.
\nVery good use of the space. I liked how you had to look around to find the clues even when there were only a few different options. I thought the floating letters were quite a nice touch. And of course great replayability! I played it three times now (thought I knew the blue circle and red triangle values, of course I didn’t!).
\nThe pink book was always blank for me, but one missing letter was easy to figure out.
\nGreat work!

I’m really pleased you played it multiple times and discovered the word/clues change each time. I should have perhaps mentioned that, and more to help get started, in the description!

I have done 80+ escape rooms so while it took about a minute to understand what’s going on, it clicked and I was able to complete it (I guessed the word after 3 letters and then went through to find them all for completeness). The main mechanic keeps the room interesting for each mini puzzle.

I liked the primary puzzle and loved the XR mechanics of exploring the small room, opening drawers, examining books, etc. The satisfaction of cracking the puzzle was real, and the difficulty balance felt right. The atmospheric lighting changes and intimate room design create excellent mood despite simple graphics. While the audio could use more interaction sound effects beyond background music, this is a minor complaint.
