Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
The story is predictable, no optimization for Oculus controllers, game is very badly optimised on a whole, very buggy (not game breaking) but it's a nice way of spending 3 hours with a friend doing a online co-op game.
20 of 163 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Music and atmosphere was very well done graphics are good, the puzzles are a range of challanging depends on how many escape room like activites you have done you will have a good understanding of the layout.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The achievements are also not too hard to get and even though the game is a bit short it ́s also not too expensive and the gameplay, mechanics and variety of different puzzles does make the short playtime up pretty good.
