Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story and atmosphere of the game are similar to what you'd expect from a classic spy movie, and I found it good, although it wasn’t anything special for me.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Every level I just wanted to move around, look under stuff, and explore like you would if you were infiltrating as a spy, but the seated experience doesn't work at all for this "escape room" gameplay.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The game's difficulty makes it a great choice for players who are looking for a challenge, and it provides a sense of accomplishment when players are able to complete a mission.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
In that game, you could click to interact with a variety of objects, all of which would somehow come together to allow you to solve the ultimate puzzle of lighting a portal.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
P.S.: Sadly enough, the opening sequence was my absolute favorite part of this game, with it's unique visual style and jazzy soundtrack creating one of the most unique cutscenes I've seen in VR, it kind of made me wish the whole game was in that style.
