What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access is an opportunity for us to gather feedback from the community on your in-game experience.
It's a way for us to see if the concept and implementation of our game appeal to players. More importantly, it's a chance to improve the gameplay, as this is our very first game and there are only two of us working on it during our free time.

Additionally, it allows you to get the game at a lower price compared to the final release, which will include much more content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will remain in Early Access as long as players request improvements on certain phases of the game and until we have completed the final objectives for the full release. We hope that the game will be fully released summer 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the final version, we're planning improvements to the various gameplay phases and challenges. We're also planning to add more rooms.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game represents 1 scenario, where you have to solve a series of puzzles to finish the level. According to our playtests the current experience lasts about one hour, as in most escape games. We've decided to give players plenty of time to find solutions, and not to punish or stress them with a countdown. Discover the environments and features at your leisure.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to raise the price once the various patches and new content are applied. However, those who already possess the game will benefit from free updates.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We have opened a dedicated Discord server for the game. On this server, there is an "English" category and a "French" category, which allows us to gather feedback from players and answer many questions.”

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 !

About the Developers:

We are only two game programmers passionate about escape games & VR. We developed on our free time, and we decided to share with you our first project which we hope you will enjoy.
