    Escape Rooms for VR is my favorite style of game to play when people are over. Escape!VR does a great job coming up with puzzles that are fun and difficult to solve! I'd definitely recommend Above the Clouds if your looking for something to play that includes those watching.

    I was already expecting this to be pretty good considering the last Escape!VR game, and it met those expectations pretty well. It's the same concept as the first game in that it's a small collection of escape rooms, and it's generally well-made with pretty good puzzles. If I had to complain it would be that compared to their last game, there's a lot of empty space and unnecessary junk items in this. The elevator has like 7 floors, for example, but only 3 of them don't take you to an "Under…

    Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers. Spoiler-free Review. Received free copy per the Steam Curator Connect program to review This is a very good, solid escape room experience that took me approximately 2 hours to complete, although it can be finished much sooner if you know what you're doing. Movement is by teleportation and you can turn with the joystick. You can play this game seated as long as you can pick items off the ground, although it would be easier standing. I…

    Full disclaimer: I played this game during its development phase. I really like Escape Games in real life. Therefore, I was really looking forward to play an Escape Game with VR. It took about 2 hours to play through. There are different locations and settings. The game is really beautifully designed, the puzzles are somewhat difficult, but I could solve most of them. If you are stuck, you can use a hint system. Overall, the design is really nice and it’s a lot of fun to play!

    WHAT'S IN THE BOX? 'Escape VR Above the Clouds' is an 'escape the room' game; you are locked in a room and need to escape by solving puzzles. The game actually has a couple of rooms through which you need to progress mostly linearly. Puzzles vary from easy ("find element X") to hard ("align elements A-F correctly"). VISUALS The style of this game is realistic as in 'everything looks as in would in real-life'. From the visuals I'd say the game is set in the present. The graphics are top notch,…

    The Graphics and Screen shot's make this game look like a cheap low budget game. IT IS NOT :D It's a really well made game. Much attention was payed to the mechanics and it's fun, challenging, but not so challenging to be frustrating. It's a very fun escape room and one of my new VR favorites. Also, It's a nice non intense experience for new comers to get their VR legs.

    I'm absolutely in LOVE with escape the room style games. This one was no exception. I played their previous game called Escape - The Basement - and loved it. I felt this one was quite a bit more challenging. It took me 90 minutes to escape. How quickly did you do it? If you get stuck or want to take a look at the game before buying it then feel free to check out my video below. Spoiler alert though! This video will show you how to solve the puzzles. https://youtu.be/-yl2LIHLtow

    Poorly made puzzles with multiple that do not follow logical sense. The wire one doesn't make sense and would be better with one extra piece and the code following it should just have a page without coffee. Holding objects while interacting and moving around is also a pain.

    Here I am, thinking that I want to play a nice relaxing puzzle VR-game. I was mistaken. The game forces you to think like a 6-year old, looking for obvious clues instead of hidden / clever ones. I would not recommend. Find another Puzzle VR game.

    Oh boy that was an adventure ! I played escape games in real life and this virtual one is reeeeeeally good ! I can't tell you much about the gameplay (I don't want to spoil you) but it's a really well designed game, really clever. I finished it in about 1H10, taking my time. If you have a virtual headset, you must definitly buy this piece of art of a game ! Totally worth it ! :D

    Fun VR game; it took me a couple hours and I used the hints (disclaimer: I'm not familiar with escape games). The hints themselves are very much worth reading, pretty fun and well worded. They don't give away the solution, but still point you in the right direction. Also, the game has some unexpected and nice physics effects I didn't expect and did cost me a couple minute alone to play around with ;) One of my first VR games, and I enjoyed the experience throughout!

    I gave positive review for the 1st episode. For this one no, sorry. Take it at 3-4 Eur max imo. The whole game design is made to add artificial play-time... Also, why do you want to escape this nice rich place where you have food, drinks, TV, music...and a mobile phone ?? "Escape room" means escape darkness or madness, but not escape from the Trump tower...even if IRL maybe you would.

    Really fun VR escape room game. It was a blast putting together comprehensive guide for all achievements and everything with this kind of game. A bit pricey, but I highly recommend it. Not much to say without spoiling it :) 7/10

    Good game! I love the fact that all the puzzles make logical sense. I used two hints, but if I'd thought about it some more I wouldn't have needed them. One tiny issue -- the text on the loading screen is the same for all the levels (about starting in a locked closet). It should be different for each level. Recommended.

    It took me some time just to figure out how to play the game using a Valve Index. There are no instruction telling you how the controls should work. After more than an hour and a half I have that much worked out and a couple of the puzzles solved. So at least there is hope that I can proceed with the game at this point.

    Feels a bit like "my first Unity project" both visually and the way it plays, but it's short and simple enough not to overstay its welcome.

    If you like the "realistic environment with 50 objects, two are useful" style, then I think this is a good example. I personally prefer the "series of themed abstract puzzles" style.

    Well made escape game with challenging and logical puzzles! I really like that it has no scary theme and that the puzzles are far from the "put the square object into the fitting hole" type.

    Good game. I liked how if you press every button on the elevator... you had to wait for it to go to each floor :). Also the clever puzzles for solving the unlock slide puzzle and the lock pick tool. These were good games and I wonder why they stopped making them.

    The game is just very bad. You can't turn around other than with your body, you have to constantly crouch to pick things from the floor... It's clear the game was not properly tested. One particular puzzle I have to stand on my knees for about 15 minutes because it was too low to check properly when standing. Awful, terrible controls for Valve Index as well, not intuitive, some objects were not working properly because of the confusing controls. And the puzzles were just... bad. Unoriginal,…

    I enjoy VR escape rooms, but this series is just too linear (you have to have a very specific thing to accomplish one task to move on) and they are not very clear. That made me us the tips more than once, which I hate. I am not asking for just making a game easy, on the contrary, I like a challenging puzzle, but once I find the solution, I want to say "Oh, that makes sense" and not "Damn, I was doing almost exactly that in 6 different ways, but it wanted me to do it in a very specific way" type…

    As much fun as going to a real escape room. I'd say anyone that can't figure out the puzzles probably can't do real rooms either. Got a little hung up as the last clue seems to have a typo... But still a fun game.

    Super fun, could be more actual puzzles to complete but in general a blast. dollar to hour play could be better but since my friends will play it too it will be orth it.

    Unfortunately I can't recommend this game or its sibling, EscapeVR: The Basement. Some of the puzzles have ridiculously obtuse. The controls can also be a bit janky. Don't try to start the car or you most likely won't be able to get the key back out. When I finally "succeeded" the game had a physics freakout and the key completely vanished.

    I like this. INtelligent puzzles. Much better than the average escape rooms. It took me 3 and a half hours to complete and I got stuck a number of times (no walkthroughs).
