Description: You regain consciousness in a closed room, how did you get there? Why is there a coffin? Are you dead? Is this the afterlife? With your purchase you gain access to a room escape game with 2 rooms featuring 7 puzzles with a total of 42 keys. This is not a horror or suspense experience; there are no jump scare or time-is-running-out mechanics. Take all the time you need to solve the puzzles. This game supports room-scale VR. Works best when standing, but can be played seated as well.
Review: After Life VR might sound like a scary escape room style of game, but there are no jump-scares here. Just a few puzzles, inside two rooms and a load of keys to find. There is no storyline as such, no time-limit meaning no rush or challenge and the puzzle themselves are pretty easy. It’s like, all the hard parts of a normal escape room game have bee ripped out and all that is left is a bland, empty shell of a game. It doesn’t look terrible I suppose, but I definitely wouldn’t want anyone paying £3.99 for this. But if you got it for a quid and like your escape room games light and easy maybe give this a go.
