enjoyed the game, puzzles made sense and logical, snap turn and teleport movement, graphics are ok, though I did up the resolution, no bugs and played fine on the Rift S, Ryzen 7 3800X, 5700XT, Windows 10 64.

A weird and often illogical scavenger hunt... not really an "escape room" as you're not solving puzzles so much as looking around for obscure information you can use to unlock something, or you need to do a task that is not particularly logical. There are also some tasks that are seemingly impossible...

Best escape game around so far
There is teleporting, but at this stage that isn't a big immersion breaker for me
Enough items to leave you questioning what is used and what is distraction
Just the right amount of challenge

I love these types of games!
In Toledo we have an actual real life escape place with different options. Loved doing it with my friends and any time I see an Escape Room VR game I have to get it.
This is probably the best one out of the group I've tried in VR!
GET IT!

Not the best VR room escape... i
The interactions/physics can be very wobbly.
The game would take very little time to complete due to it's low number of puzzles. A lot of time is added just because the space is filled with random intractable objects. This isn't inherently bad... but when there's also a really low number of puzzles, which are also on the simple side, you spend way more time picking objects up and discarding them than trying to come up with some clever solutions to enjoyable puzzles.
If you're itching for another escape room fix ... this is FINE if it's on sale and not worth it at full price. I think if the offerings of room escapes on VR get better... this will not be worth it even on sale.

It was fun, and a promising start for the VR Escape Room genre, but it is far from $12 of content. I beat the game in under 20 minutes. Basically $1 per 1.5 minutes of gameplay.

I loved this game. So far this is my favorite escape the room game. Easily forgot I was in my living room and found myself avoiding tables and items in the game as if they were real. Its short but sweet. For that reason do not look up any walkthroughs! Save the satisfaction for yourself!! Also this was a good intro to VR game. My aunt said she would just take a look for a minute. She ended up playing this for over a half hour. As a non-gamer everything in this came naturally to her.

A well made Escape game. It's not long, but I was entertained throughout the experience and the quality is quite good. The puzzles were not too difficult or annoying (it's one thing to have the player wondering while sitting comfortably, but it's different if he's standing with added weight to the head).
All in all a fun game absolutely worth 10$/€.

Screams student project. Each room has 30 interactable objects where only one or two matter. And there are only one or two puzzles in each of three rooms.

Uninteresting puzzles. Simple graphics. Very short.
I feel bad saying this, but it's really not worth the asking price. Something more in the range of $0 to $3 would be more appropriate.
