Description: Locked in the Captain’s cabin, a storm has damaged your boat. As a sailor, experience a deeply immersive adventure inspired by the piracy universe. You have to find all of the clues and escape before drowning. Survive in this world, overcome your fear and find your true power in the world of HYKEE. The gameplay is designed specifically for VR with a full-room 1:1 scale, it allows you to instinctively interact with objects and fight with characters.
Review: HYKEE – Episode 1: Underwater is a pirate-themed escape room that could have been a pretty good game. The graphics are good enough and so is all the ambient sounds. But sadly there is less than 10 minutes of content here! Now, that would be fine if the game was free, but it isn’t and even for a small ask of £0.79 it’s simply not worth it. If this ever becomes free do give it a look because it’s not a terrible game to play for the short amount of time, but is simply not enough content to pay anything for.
