Description: Lost Route is a driving thriller video game made for room-scale VR. Requires a chair to sit in which position is indicated in the game. Features include procedurally generated road, random events, spooky atmosphere and encounters. Wildfires forced the community to evacuate; you take the closed road to try to make it out alive. Something creepy lurks in the woods, looters try to steal things and cult members worship the fire…
Review: I’m sure that once upon a time there was some potential to be had from this creepy adventure game. Its like need for speed meets silent hill, only in VR. With some time and effort, it could have gone on to be a great game and one I would recommend. But sadly this is long been abandoned and all you are left with is a bunch of messy, unplayable elements. The driving part is appalling, to say the least, and very nauseating, then all that is left is the exploring and that part is way too basic and short. It’s like an odd collection of ideas that never took shape. Maybe one day the developer will pick it up again, but until then this is best off avoided.
