How it feels

Feels like stepping into a lovingly cluttered 1980s game room, solving low-key puzzles while unraveling a supernatural mystery at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe a short VR escape room that leans hard into 80s nostalgia, with mixed opinions on its puzzles and controls. Some find the puzzles illogical and the movement limited to teleportation, while others enjoy the cheesy charm and surprise dance ending. A few mention minor technical issues like puzzle pieces disappearing.
