About This Game
Experience :
Our game aims to deliver an unprecedent VR experience in hell !
You will have to escape from Hades's jails, on your way several puzzles/enigma are waiting for you to be solved in cooperation with your cellmate & friend.
Unlike many others VR games, here your avatar has a full body. You can use one of the premade avatar or create & import your own customized avatar thanks to ReadyPlayerMe ! (You just have to add your ReadyPlayerMe avatar link to the file RPM_Avatars in the game folder StreamingAssets; please visit our Discord for more info)
No limit of time in our VR escape game, take the time to discover all the details of this fantastic rooms in hell.
Gameplay :
You have to solve puzzles as in a regular escape games by searching, finding and combining objects in the rooms, and by communicating with your team mate (the game uses the microphone of your VR headset but you can change the settings). Many puzzles need to be achieved in cooperation.
Early Access :
In this early access version, you will have one complete level (level1) to finish. This level corresponds to the beginning of the journey in hell where you need to escape your cells. According to playtests, this correspond to approximately 1h game.
The final version will roughly be released in two years (Summer 2026) and will include improvements to the different phases of gameplay and challenges. Additionally, we plan to add up to 3 more levels in the future.
VR Settings :
You probably know that VR games can induce motion sickness in some cases. We have made everything we could to leverage this issue. In the lobby (always accessible even during the game), you can enable teleportation / 90° snap turn, set the walk and turn velocity, and add a blurred tunneling vignette for fast movements.
The game is intended to be played seated and with the VR controller (sticks and buttons) to move and interact with the world. If you avatar is not correctly on the ground you can always go back to the lobby and use the reset position button (we recommend to do that at the beginning of the game to be sure).
Lobby and Connection :
You start in the lobby where you can set all options as desired. Once you have selected your avatar you will be able to either create a lobby room to host the game, or join someone's lobby to start the game together. Optionally you can filter lobby of your Steam friends to find faster your team mate and have fun !
