A Rogue Escape Reviews

While the gameplay is basically unchanged from Nauticrawl, I think the VR environment does add quite a bit to the experience. Nauticrawl suffered a bit from not knowing if it wanted to be a rogue-like or something more like a walking simulator and they've leaned more heavily towards the latter in this version, which I think was a wise decision that plays better with VR's immersive experiential nature.

Great game! Not for everyone but it's very immersive and slow-paced. It's more sim/exploration than a escape room, cool concept, similar to Capsule but with way more oomph to the mechanics.

1st attempt Died not sure why or how but I died. 2nd Attempt I got much farther and am now trying to solve some sort of puzzle maybe it isn't a puzzle that can be solved I don't know I don't know anything I am just following the instructions left by some drunk guy not sure how I am staving off the water hounds. Only gripe is we need graphic options will be looking at doing that manually but overall adjusting my index settings made everything better. Definitely a unique experience and I hope that their is a lot more to uncover and maybe workshop options in the future.

It's Nauticrawl, in VR. That game was pretty neat as it was, but the immersion added by VR is basically perfect for it. Not terribly long, but worth the time it asks of you.

7/10 Almost immersive, great puzzle VR, once you get whats going on. just lacks more polishing. Around 2.5 hrs game play, works well on Quest 3 with VD Streamer. Worth it on sale.

Great game. You can never really see what's going on outside your crawler so a lot of things evolve in your head wich is awesome. The replay value is limited once you're through, especially when you've played nauticrawl beforehand and I hope something will be integrated to get me back to it again. Nevertheless, worth every penny.

I'd probably recommend this game, but don't expect your hand to be held at all during it. It would be cool if there was more story that wasn't hidden in logs and such, but it doesn't really matter if you look at this game as an escape room-esque game. My only problems with the game are with the space needed. You definitely need more space than some VR game require. The way around this is to reset your view within SteamVR by pressing the menu button, but it was still annoying. The very last puzzle was also a little annoying, I thought I was doing everything right but nothing was happening, but I guess I didn't have a level pushed *all* the way or something. Outside all that though, I'd say this game was a really cool experience. Just wish it was a little longer or maybe had more depth or something since it only takes like 2 hours to beat. I'd say what was there was quality enough to justify only a $20 purchase though

This game looked so intresting but when playing it quickly became a chore to maintain the battery levels and immediately I was bored.

It was a good game, but a bit too short. I hope it receives some updates in the future to add more content, but as it stands it only has 2-3 hours of gameplay. It is definitely worth playing, but you may consider waiting for a sale. I loved every moment of playing this game. It had a good story, and extremely fun controls. The sense of mystery brought by the discreet storytelling, and limited view of the outside world made it very captivating.

An intriguing concept, but the execution falls far short. It feels like this was released very prematurely. - The story is sparse, disjointed, and contrived. - The graphics are bland. - The vehicle mechanics are obfuscated but shallow, and completely trivialized by an infodump you stumble across early on that explains how to ignore both power consumption and enemies. - It's almost impossible to lose; you're given huge amounts of resources even before learning how to bypass any threats. The hardest challenge was finding the lever to pull to win the game, which unlike every other control in the game was hidden in decorative trim for some reason. - At $20 for ~2 hours of gameplay with no replayability, it's just not a very good deal.
