The Unwelcomed

Just played through it in its current state, took me 44 mins, the puzzles were all logical and worked well, although i did have to guess 1 part. The graphics are good, it has potential for exploration when more rooms are eventualy opened up, as you can teleport around the manion (only 1 puzzle room open atm) The only thing i didnt like were the hand models, they are terrible lol. Would definatly recommend this if you like puzzles/escape rooms... yes 44 mins is not much game time, but remember its early access and they have promised to add more to it. Go get it whilst its on offer i say :-)

Pros: -Currently 3 rooms, looks like there is room for more too -There seems to be a story in development -Creepy atmosphere adds to the immersion -Devs seem to be pretty active with updates & on the discussion board Cons: -voice acting isn't very good -there are are number of "bad" puzzles which takes the fun out of the game and replaces it with frustration -on the topic of puzzles, a lot of the time in this game is spent hunting for hidden items, which may appeal more to crowds who enjoy treasure hunts (while disappointing those who enjoy solving puzzles) -door/drawers are operated by the trigger, instead of using the motion controllers to pull/push them open which breaks the immersion I've played a number of other room escape games on the vive, and I am of the opinion that this game is the least polished out of the ones that I have played. But hey, it's early access, I may yet change my review as it progresses :)

[b]The Unwelcomed is highly recommended if you like escape room games.[/b] I really like the atmosphere and I have no complaints about the graphics and audio quality. Not to mention the voice actor who does a great job delivering the story and also some fun commentaries when interacting with objects in the game. Currently there’s only one escape room available with more to come. The first room should take 30-60 minutes to figure out, however it took me longer since I got stuck at one point. Also the save feature is not yet available so I had to replay the first sections a couple of times because I didn’t complete it in one session. But with a little help from the developer I finally figured it out. This puzzle was actually quite logical and the fault in this case was mainly mine since I was trying to force a wrong solution. Anyways, I had a great time figuring out the puzzles and I’m looking forward to try out more rooms as soon as they are available.

Absolutely fantastic game. The scale of the environments feel real. I spent a good 5 minutes just taking in the feeling of "presence". The puzzles were challenging and really interesting. As a side note, it doesn't show the game as "requiring a vr headset" on the store page. At least not for me. You might want to fix that on your steamworks page.

- Specs say it supports Linux - Specs say it supports VR - However it does not support both at the same time! Either VR or Linux! - Ok, at least Valve allows me to use Proton, the windows compatibility framework. I try a couple different versions of Proton with the game, always crashes when starting the tutorial. Note: I have more than 100 windows games which work perfectly in my VR (Valve Index) through Proton. - Also, it does not even support ultrawide aspect ratios? What the funk! - Uninstalled, refunded. - Game is now unwelcomed. Perfect name for it!

Room escape done RIGHT!!! Loved this game! Wish it would have been longer! This is one of the BEST room escape games I have played to date! ESCAPE!VR- The basement is another I highly recommend you check out if you enjoyed this one. Again I wish it was longer and the dev's would add more levels!

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] This is a pure puzzle / escape room VR game. There really is no horror, other than it being dark and some creaky door sounds and tiny spiders ... and this creepy looking teddy bear. There are a total of 7 escape rooms, each independent of each other, plus a tutorial level. The game took me 6 hours to complete (I got stuck in 2 rooms) but this game could probably be finished in 3-4 hours. The actual puzzles are pretty good. The visuals are just okay. The sounds are okay as well. However, there's an overall clunkiness to the controls and to the environments. The worst bug / feature here is that items will not spawn at all that you need to progress. For example, in room 3, there's this sheet of paper with a hint that's needed that did not spawn at all during my gameplay. I had played this same room the day before and knew where the item was and what information it had, but I had to restart the level to get it to spawn (op...

My very first Review. I had to write one because I loved this game. This is what a VR game should be! I was nervous at first because I don't play horror games or anything with jump scares in VR, it's too much for my aging heart. This has neither, even though I was a bit nervous at times because of the atmosphere or music. I assure you, nothing will jump out, nothing will be behind you or be there unexpectedly. The puzzles stumped me quite a few times, but eventually you figure them out. I needed help about 3 times as it wasn't clear enough to figure out on my own. (I'm going to blame that on player error...lol) Please add more rooms! Another floor! I’ll keep coming back, I promise! Make more games like this one and keep the horror at this level for us scaredy-cats.

Multiple rooms in one game. Actively being worked on by responsive devs. An issue I had in one room was taken care of within a day. I really hope they pull through with the procedural generation idea as well.

What a frustrating game! When you drop something small on the floor, like a key or a small tool, that's it!! I spent most of my time trying to pick stuff up off the floor that I either dropped or knocked on to it. Yes you can adjust floor height up/down/normal but that mechanic seems to make no difference. It's near impossible to pick small objects up if you drop them, it's like trying to pick something up off the floor with a pair of space gloves on. I even went to the trouble of re-mapping my room thinking it was my set-up but it wasn't, it is definately the game mechanics, and until the developers fix this issue I have to vote it down.
