Specially designed for virtual reality, this immersive escape game will take you through the different rooms of the laboratory to manipulate objects, find clues, solve puzzles … and many other surprises await you if you try to solve this challenge!
Review: ‘Antidote’ is a weird escape room style game in which you play the role of someone who has been kidnapped and held in a weird lab of some kind. You need to solve the clues and work out what is going on. You are given just 45 minutes to beat the game or you will have to start again which will annoy a lot of players, but it does mean you will rack up the hours playing this game over and over until you solve it all the way through. It looks good, feels good to play, but there is nothing really new or exciting here, just more of the same. So if you like the puzzle room genre do give this a look, otherwise it might not be for you.
