How it feels

A tense and immersive VR escape from a trap-filled underground world, using redirected walking to reduce motion sickness.

What players say

Players say this is a free VR tech demo that can be finished in under 30 minutes. It relies entirely on roomscale walking with no teleportation, so a playspace of at least 2.8 m by 2.8 m is required to get out of the first room. Mechanics include archery and a jail-cell puzzle, but controls are described as janky and the game ends on a cliffhanger.
