Our take on Abode

The focused escape-room format keeps the experience centered on one apartment and a short puzzle sequence, but that focus comes with limited duration and little room for broader exploration.

What is Abode?

Abode is a VR-only escape room puzzle game set in a worn apartment.

Players investigate rooms and examine details, objects, boxes, drawers, and furniture to uncover clues. Tools and other items can be found, combined, inspected, repaired, and used with objects in the environment. Progress comes from working out how these items fit together and solving the apartment’s puzzles. The game lasts approximately 1 hour, with the total time depending on puzzle-solving speed and how much the player rushes.
