“Very nicely done escape-the-room game set in a futuristic apartment. Includes some interesting ideas and a high amount of polish. Some may consider the price too high for a game that's 30 minutes if you're very quick,…”

“Highly recommended! I've played a bunch of VR escape rooms and this is my favorite! Great style and the puzzles are just the right amount of challange to be satisfying without being frustrating. Lots of puzzles in the…”
“Not a bad little VR title. As is the trend, it's another very SHORT VR title, however. I completed it in less than 2 hrs (tho I did need to go online for a hint once). Even so, it was quite fun, the puzzles weren't too…”

“This is the first escape room type VR game I have tried and overall it's better than I expected. The graphics are pretty basic, but good enough, and most of the objects let you interact with them pretty well. The…”
“Solid escape room type game. The graphics are a bit simplistic, but there are interesting puzzles and a lot of variety. This game can often be picked up dead cheap, so it's certainly worth a look. And you'll even be…”

“Great escape room! Puzzles aren't too difficult but still fun enough that you have to be very observant and require some lateral thinking. Takes about an hour to complete for one person, has 8 achievements that are easy…”
“Short, elegant. For the Reverb G2, I had to load a custom binding, which was easy to find and load. It's a light escape room game, but it has just enough flavor and world-building to make it an intriguing and enjoyable…”
“Pretty fun and the puzzles are clever. It's an escape room, though there are two "endings" that you can get. Get it in a bundle if you can, it's under an hour of playtime but it's still fun. The game utilizes controller…”

“Abode is a well built "escape room" with many puzzles and riddles. Some things could be optimized, but it doesn't take a way too much from the experience. My biggest gripe with this game was the ending. (spoiler hidden)…”

“My fiance is super afraid of spiders, but she totally reached for the shadow of a fly thinking it was a spider, and was totally brave. That's the level of immersion this managed to pull off. There was only one puzzle…”
“Abode made me feel stupid until I felt smart! I spent about 2 hours in the room exploring everything, playing with the drone, and even when the game was done I used the drone to carry the desk lamp into the dark hallway…”
“Quick, basic, 30 minute to 45 minute escape room experience. Pretty simple, but enjoyable nevertheless. Puzzles are definitely not brain busters. The confined space of the "Abode" makes it hard not to stumble on all of…”

“If you can get it for a couple dollars, sure, go for it. It is indeed just an 'escape room' like you would play in real life. Interesting to try, I suppose, but there's literally no payoff. It's a one time deal and $10…”
“It's fine. Simple VR escape room puzzle game. It kind of sucks to play since I'm used to smooth, normal locomotion from other games at this point, so being unable to move freely or turn at all was really frustrating.…”

“For a short period of time I had access to a VR headset, so this was the first real game I played in VR away from the basic stuff that Valve provided for introduction. I played for around 2 hours but It did take me awhile to set things up and get used to everything so my actual…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“This is the 4th escape room I've tried, and I must say it's my favorite. So many cool objects and the environment was very polished. The puzzles were also reasonable. Perhaps the hints could be optional and replaced with funny quotes or something. I thought the price was just…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“In a nut shell, another entry in the small and fun Escape Room VR genre. I wouldn't say that it was too challenging, a lot of the puzzles seemed quite obvious to me though, for others it could be different. It took me roughly 20 minutes to complete it and for that, I don't…”
