Description: The Murder Room is a Virtual Reality escape game. You’re trapped in an apparently normal room, where you must find items and solve puzzles to escape. But not everything is as it seems. In the way, you may find hidden objects. How fast can you escape?
Review: You don’t need me to tell you this, but I will anyway. The Murder Room VR is an escape room style game with an element of murder and mystery thrown in to keep the suspense up. It has to be said the game is in a very raw state, you are just thrown into the game and you have to escape. The graphics are not terrible I suppose, but everything else feels unfinished and basic. Some of the puzzles are just too hard and there are annoying little glitches that will bug you from start to finish. Those things wouldn’t be so bad if that said finish wasn’t after just 30 minutes of gameplay! £7.99 is simply WAY to much for this and you should try and grab it in a good sale paying no more than a quid tops.
