Dwingle : B.O.T Reviews

This is so far the best VR experience that I've had, and for such a cheap price compared to the low quality mini games for $15 on steam, but this game is definetly going to stick with me.

Oculus Rift user. Interesting puzzle game. I haven't beaten it yet; but, this is one I want to come back to until I do.

For the moment it's the VR game with the most captivating atmosphere that I've played. Good graphics and good overall experience. Congratulations to the team and I'm waiting for your next games ;-)

Pretty cool game, some of the sounds (Robot assembling electric sound in particular) could use some updating or variations. The game itself is actually pretty unique and the robot is cute and has interesting reactions. The puzzles are clue-based style and tracked on a board that lights up when a puzzle has been completed. Lots of items to tinker with and feels very feature rich in the short time ive played so far. I give this a thumbs up, but it does appear to need some additional work as during day 3 the robot stopped responding to me and I had to reload. Very worth the price for a great looking, interactive, puzzly game.

Thought this was a fun little game with an unexpected twist. Quite polished looking, simple concept with games/escape room style things to work out, although these don't always affect progression. I finished the game with still quite a few unsolved things left. Took me about 40mins to finish the game, seen other people take an hour or two, just depends how much you mess around in it. The robot has quite a strong French accent, which combined with having a 'robot voice' made it quite hard to understand what it was saying at times, which is a shame, because I bet this is why I didn't solve some things as the robot gives you hints, but if you can't understand the hints, that's not going to help. Also some of the objects I was interacting with just flipped out which was annoying at times. But even with those few negative points, I'd still recommend playing it. I think it's priced sensibly which makes a nice change. Not a lot of replay value, but would be fun to demo to people and see their reactions. Here's my playthrough if you want to see what's what: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r8zMV0FaTI

What an amazing game ! Some kind of escape room with 3D puzzles, really really entertaining! And for 8$ you get a decent game where you can see that devs have spent lot of time to finish and propose something mesmerizing :) Good game, good price, good mood, go buy it ;)

I kinda liked this game. It isn't anywhere near my favourite but it has its charm. It is essentially an escape experience combined with a pet simulator. The game is very short but it delivers a nice story during this period. The only real problem with it in my opinion is that, it took me way too much time to figure out that it was an escape, other than that, it was great and I definetly recomend it.

Played using HTC Vive Pro/Index controllers/RTX2060Super Nice small, sort of, escape room game. The graphics look nice, and everything runs pretty smooth. I did ran into a few small bugs. -Sometimes the 'Mechanical room' objective doesn't seem to pass, even though you got the robot fully up and runnning. -In my first playthrough the button game was just dropping over and over through the room and no way of actually playing it. But the 'puzzles' are pretty easy. Paid the current full price of 2,99 euro's and I think it is worth it for the 30-45 minutes it takes. Sadly no achievements, which in this case would have been nice. and no real extra if you even got all goals done (at least I didn't notice anything), and that's a bit sad. As far as I know you can't go down the hatch and as I said it also doesn't seem to open when you got all goals.

I tenatively recommend this game. They are on the right track and the story looks like it could evolve into something interesting. Experiences like this is why I wanted VR, not for just another shooter. I look forward to seeing the ending if I can get through without it crashing. Pros: Fair price good graphics interesting experience and atmosphere puzzles paced story development cons: Maybe should have launched as early access? 1 hour played, two game sessions. both game sessions ended due to bugs. Robot has a strong french(?) accent, it adds character but also makes him difficult to understand at times. You interact with the environment more than you do the robot directly. Note: This gets a little creepy. Consider that a warning for the sensitive. With a little polish and patches this could turn out to be really good!

Building and teaching your own robot would be much nicer and may last longer. This way, I don't know who is its target audience - the first half for kids, the second one for those who like escape room horrors?
