Viking Escape Reviews

nice mini VR mystery game

Fun little escape game. I almost gave up at the beginning but glad I stuck it out.

I love the atmosphere of this game. I thought it was loading forever when it first started up and I am staring at blackness. Eventually I have the sense to look around and see the night sky through a small opening in the darkness. Then I look to my feet... aaah. Now I am there, in a viking tomb, immersed. Really cool. Unfortunately I am stuck though. I have no idea how to open the box and even less idea about the tumblers. From the comments here I did look very closely at the floor and have passed that stage, but it just confused me even more! One small issue is that it is possible to walk through the walls and see things or even stick your head in the box. Other VR games usually make everything black beyond where you can see. Anyway if someone could point to a walkthrough or give me a hint about how to open the box I would really appreciate it!

Played it on HTC Vive Pro/RTX2060super. Ok, I was a bit frustrated with one point of the puzzle (same point as the person(s) in the forum). But I liked it anyway. It's a pretty decent escape room game for the low price it is now (0,99 euro's, I think I paid even less). Only gripe I have, why didn't the developer use the regular trigger instead of the awful handle triggers. Hope to see some more from this developer.

I loved it! Good music, fun puzzles, and awesome environment.

The controls feel off and the lighting model for the torch seem broken. I can hold the torch next to the rune wheel yet it doesn't light it up. Some items appear interactive yet others aren't. The inconsistency was quite frustrating. I got stuck fairly early on and asked for help in the Discussion group. I discovered I wasn't the one so I added my own request for help. I didn't get any so I asked for a refund.

The game has a good enviroment, and was inventive with the genre. All together I really enjoyed the 10 minutes of gameplay it provided. I am fairly upset about the length of the game in comparison to its price, but I believe that this is something the VR community will have to deal with, as developing for the HTC vive is not yet a very big market.

Warning for Oculus players: game does NOT work on Oculus. Touch controllers show up in-game, but none of the button presses register. Do NOT buy, avoid. I am not giving a negative review only because of the low price, it says HTC Vive only, and because it seems like okay.
