Room of Realities

Room of Realities is a VR game that offers three escape room experiences that can be played either solo or with other players.

The multiplayer aspect is something many players wanted for a long time. Many could experience an escape room with friends in VRChat, but in standalone VR game that was not possible until now. Room of Realities features a cross platform multiplayer and up to 4 players can play. One player will host and others can join using a code. When in multiplayer mode, cooperation is required for certain tasks.

The game has stylized cartoony graphics that are pleasant to look at. While it is nothing spectacular it looks very good and is crystal clear. The items needed for puzzles fit well with rest of items and the environment which is something we don't see every day. Each scenario has a different theme and everything fits nicely and creates good (or scary) ambiance.

The puzzles themselves are not overly difficult nor too easy. Some need careful observation, manipulation and some will require a bit of thinking and memorization. I found the puzzles clever and also fairly unique. They are also very fitting and I found them entertaining.

If a player gets stuck, they can ask for a hint. What happens is that puzzle items get highlighted (similarly to Ubisoft escape games). You still have to figure out what to do with them.

Each scenario, is very atmospheric, has several chapters and tells a story. I felt deeply immersed in them and I really wanted to know more about what happened than just solve the puzzles.

While playing I did not experience any major or even minor bugs. I did manage to lose a torch in a wall (so don't drop items in areas you can't reach). Sometimes I had problems with item collisions but even those were rare compared to many other games I played.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes puzzles or atmospheric adventures. The scenarios are fairly short but of a similar length as a real life escape room - they can be finished within one hour. The game is totally worth the price tag it currently has and I believe they will have more content for us to enjoy in the future.
