The Experiment: Escape Room

could be better, i wasnt impressed by this one as much as i hoped to be honest

Unique. Not scary. There is no clear direction with the puzzles. It's definitely detail-oriented, you need to pay attention to the small things. The lighting in the game sucks so it really is hard to see in some of the rooms, I know that's the point in one of them but the one with the bodies was to dim. I am lucky I had a partner who could see because on my PC I couldn't see anything. This isn't something I would play alone as the puzzles are pretty difficult and the unique perspectives of team mates really helps push you through. Also some of the things got bugged, like the mirror, so only my gf could see the code that popped up. Over all though it was a decent game. It's not something a newbie to puzzle rooms should play.

Choice of game controls using grip button for teleport and trigger to pick up items feels weird. This combined with teleport glitches - able to teleport into walls and through doors made this pretty much unplayable in VR mode.

was able to solve one puzzle with a missing piece, which cause me to missed other needed items, another puzzle needed an item that just didn't appear causing me to waste too much time trying to figure it out. Just like their previous games, it's too dark, too clunky and just an overall pain in the ass to play

For a first attempt at an escape room game, it's okay. However, the puzzles seem somewhat arbitrary and lack a clear logic, which detracts from the overall experience. I wouldn't recommend spending more than two dollars on this game. Instead, consider trying another free game from the same developer. The puzzles in this game are slightly better and it is free. Unfortunately, we found ourselves looking the Steam Guide several times to solve the puzzles.

This game is designed to mentally torture you. The sounds dig into your brain and deafen you, and the characters are like soulless dolls. A great game if you are mentally stunted and your can taste crayons through your nose.

This developer is a scam artist.

Had a gerat time playing it with a friend in VR.
The Puzzels are hard but fun to master!
the storie is dezent long since there are a quiet some hard challanges on the way.

Played it in VR and without VR and i need to say that this game is better in VR!

All in one a great game for a funny night with friends or alone <3

OK so at least this one has working turn and teleport. but the puzzle of book paintings, doesnt work. the numbers that are ment to be on each one are not. there is a 7 and a line that could be a 1 where its ment to be, but the non discript scribbles are just as unclear and mistakable for numbers and looks like there is an 8 where there isnt. seems like someone originally intended the amount of books to be the solution then changed it after.

Too many unclear details in a game that demands details to proceed is a total miss, off the dartboard and into someones skull! ...wait!?! on skull??? ....nah!

Got stuck in a cabinet in the morgue. No option to save and reload. No option to get unstuck. Exiting to reload the game results in complete restart. Rather not redo everything and possibly get stuck again.

Played this with a friend in VR. What an awesome experience! We were able to complete the escape room with about 18 seconds left to spare with no hints.

It's been one of the better VR experiences I've had in a while.

Would recommend to anyone who likes escape rooms. I absolutely recommend playing with a friend. Now I want more content!

Worth the price of entry!

Pros:
- Spent approx. 2 hours having fun with a friend
- Some puzzles were tricky and satisfying


Cons:
- Too many codes instead of something different
- The sensitivity changes every time you enter the game from lobby
- I was playing with a friend and we got kicked 2 times for no reason, we had to speedrun to the moment we were in
- Our game bugged and we had only 1 meat instead of 2 in the animal room
- We didn't know the game but with usage of trial and error method we were able to acces the doctor's office and complete the game even tho we didn't have everything from the animal room
- Some things are totally illogical and based only on luck
- Items were disappearing upon entering a room so we had to reset them several times
- A lot of "puzzles" were just obvious and too easy
- Unity engine
- Your friends look like a red robot without legs xd

4/10 Okay Game

The reason why i rate it a 4 is because your never going to pick it up again after.
I think its the third game from the onskull dev's and exported to the public as fast as they could with only one escape room to do so your pretty much done real quick.

Grtz Rdx

Buggy mess. Was trying to play without VR but its almost impossible. Items that you pick up disappear in to walls and aren't centered in the screen when you pick them up meaning they are almost impossible to inspect closely. Menus are only half visible meaning that the controls cannot be viewed fully.

Game designers: "We made a cool looking prototype escape room thing to mess around in VR"
Accountants: "Quick release it immediately, so we can get some revenue from it"
Game designers: "Uhhh, it's like not really finished.... "
Accountants: "Stop talking and release it"
Me in the game: "What the $%@ is this?"

Pretty upset that the game is so glitchy- objects tend to fly around towards the end and I have to constantly reset them. Also it crashes, extremely frustrating when I've only got 2 puzzles left and there's no save game so I have to start all over. Don't recommend at all.

I, and my best friend, have thoroughly enjoyed Onskull escape room games thus far and would normally recommend them to any puzzle enthusiasts, but I cannot recommend The Experiment in its current version if you play with a partner.

The reason being:
- We bought the game.
- We joined the same lobby. (My friend and I.)
- We started the escape room
BUT! One of us was left in the lobby while the host entered the loading screen process. We reversed it, and found the new host would enter the lobby. We tested it and no matter what we did, the host would enter the loading screen while the other would not.

We notified Onskull of this bug and after nearly a week, have received no response and no feedback. We have not even received confirmation the message was ever received. I am left with no option but to make the public aware that in its current version The Experiment is unplayable in coop/versus.

If you play Solo, it shouldn't be a problem. If you play with a friend, wait until patches have been released to fix this.

I played in the RV version.
The hints are broken and when I’ve informed to the developers,they basically ignore me after some posts (you can check it in the discussions).
The performance of the game is very bad with a 8700K and 1080ti. I've had to low the supersampling to 70% to get 9-10 ms.
In addition ,I've had many black screen and errors every time I've tried to play.
The game has a bug. Sometimes the CPU usage is high, but if you switch between "Fantastic" quality and "high" and go back to "Fantastic", the CPU usage normalices to low.
After 7 attempts I had another black screen in the last room of the game, I intermediately uninstalled this piece of...
Run from this game.

Jugué en la versión RV.
Las pistas están rotas y cuando he informado a los desarrolladores, básicamente me ignoran después de algunos mensajes (puedes comprobarlo en las discusiones).
El rendimiento del juego es muy malo con un 8700K y 1080ti. He tenido que bajar el supermuestreo al 70% para obtener 9-10 ms.
Además, he tenido muchas pantallas negras y errores cada vez que he intentado jugar.
El juego tiene un error. A veces el uso de la CPU es alto, pero si cambias entre calidad "Fantástica" y "alta" y vuelves a "Fantástica", el uso de la CPU se normaliza a bajo.
Cuando despues de 7 intentos tenía otra pantalla negra en la última sala del juego, desinstalé esta pieza de...
Huye de este juego.

The only "experiment" going on in this game is to see whether or not you can escape the refund timer. This is almost identical to a DLC from this developeres previous game. The puzzles were so basic as to not be puzzles and myself and my friend were constantly overestimating the complexity needed to solve each step. There is no story and no mystery except how this game can be sold on steam.

WARNING! It's impossible to solve one of the puzzles on lowest graphic settings.

I've been in many real life escape rooms in the past couple of years and I can say this game felt like a genuine escape room experience that can be played on pc. You can either play the game as single player and take your time with more difficult puzzles or play with friends and enjoy it as you would normally do in an escape room.

The game environment is creepy and menacing and the puzzle has multiple rooms that you need to explore to find a way out. I liked the feel and uniqueness that each area had. It really made you believe that you were trapped inside of an experiment lab.

From a gameplay standpoint i liked the puzzles (some were easier and some very tricky) but I wont go in detail to not spoil anything. The "reset items" button was also helpful incase you lose an item by accident, which was one of my original thoughts when i saw an escape room game online.

I think the game is very well done and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys escape rooms

This is the single worst VR game I have ever played.

-90% of the objects in the room arent interactable
-Items pop in and out of focus when you move your head
-Music is basically the jaws theme tune playing on a loop
-Environment is dead and lifeless
-Objects get lost through the floor/walls which is game breaking
-Some rooms are simply too dark to see anything at all
-Locks can be bypassed by just reaching in and grabbing stuff out of lockers

Theres no sense of who you are, why you are there or why you have to escape. This just isnt a game!

I bought this on sale and even that was too high of a price, reeeeeeeeeefund!

Developers like this are just %%%%ing the VR market
