Go at your own pace through five different rooms, finding secrets and solving puzzles as you go.
Review: While I do like the Vaudeville theatrical setting there really isn’t a lot to enjoy about ‘Escape Room VR: Vaudeville’. It is what its title suggests, it is a puzzle room style game in which you must solve a few simple puzzles and escape the rooms. The graphics are as basic as they come and with so little content most people will be done in less than 30 minutes here even on their first playthrough. I just can see this being worth £5.79, but if it ever becomes free or as good as it might be worth a look by puzzle room fans who have nothing else better to play. It is not something I can recommend right now, but with a good price drop, it might be worth picking up.
