Q: What about the standalone Meta Quest version?
A: Yup, we are working on it and we plan to release it by the end of this year!

A: Absolutely! We’ve enabled non-VR and VR players to join forces seamlessly. Give it a try!

Q: Can community rooms be played in VR?
A: Yes, but community rooms are still in BETA, and there’s work to be done to bring them up to satisfactory standards. We appreciate your patience.

Q: What about VR motion sickness? I suffer from it. Can I play in VR?
A: We’ve implemented a range of options that you can enable and adjust to minimize VR motion sickness.

Escape Simulator VR

This game is impossible to play using the Index controllers.

Using the Index controllers and trying to select anything like pressing buttons or turning dials is an excruciating experience. You are also constantly picking up and drawing items towards you that you don't intend. I don't know how this game plays with other controllers, but wow it's bad with Index controllers. I'm giving up on this one....

Impressions from three-player coop (VR demo)

I like the potential this has, and the puzzle design is fun, but I also think that it would benefit greatly from some improvements and polish. - It'd make a huge difference if hand movement was shown to other players in the game. - Likewise, directional audio would be great, so when a player comments on something they just found, you know where to look. (The ping is fine, but it's much less immediate.) - Polishing object interaction so you can show others more easily what you're looking at and hand things...

Sort of a VR wishlist here.

To be transparent, I'm a long-time developer of 15 years with VR development experience. So, I'm only requesting these things because I know they're perfectly doable (I'm working on a very detailed VR game in Unity as we speak). I'm willing to provide assistance if I can, because I've really enjoyed Escape Simulator and I want it to do well.
