Description: Unbinary is a VR hand-painted puzzle adventure that will immerse you in an unusual moment in human history. Webby, the super AI that was elected to rule planet Earth, needs to be audited, and it is your role to assure she is ready for her duty.

Review: Let’s start this review of ‘Unbinary’ by talking about the main selling point of it which is the handpainted environments. While still quite low-poly the game does indeed look great, it as if you are stepping into the pages of a graphical novel. Sadly not as much effort has gone into the gameplay and this is a fairly easy puzzle room style game in which you will be finding keys and switching things on and off. The puzzles do indeed get more and more complex, but most escape room fans won’t have much trouble here at all.

While I do appreciate how much effort has gone into making this game I would have liked it to be a bit cheaper than it currently is. If you rush through this game you will be done in less than an hour, but most people will take a little while more first time trying. I do recommend it and I did enjoy it, but there isn’t quite enough of it for my liking.
