Description: “Alcatraz: VR Escape Room” is a story based puzzle game inspired by such classics as Crimson Room. You wake up with a loud ringing in your ear, a pounding headache, and confused. You stumble around the room and find yourself locked inside. You discover bits and pieces about your life from notes left behind from someone who is trying to help you escape. What is going on? Why are you here? Who is trying to help you? All will be revealed as you dive deeper into reality. VR Escape Room: Alcatraz currently only supports the HTC Vive.
Review: Alcatraz: VR Escape Room is pretty much what you might expect it to be. It is a puzzle room style game that is based on Alcatraz. But I will say this game has more polish, feels more finished than many other games in the same genre. But it is still not something I am going to recommend with an asking price of £3.99. There is 30 mins play tops here and sadly the puzzles are way too easy and this, of course, doesn’t help things. Maybe there was going to be more added once upon a time, but that time has passed and this game has long been abandoned. Do wait for a sale or grab it in a bundle. Get it for a good price and you might enjoy this short, but polished game.
