Escaping Wonderland VR Review: A Must-Play Quest Adventure

Wonderland Reimagined: A VR Masterpiece

In an action-dominated virtual reality landscape of shoot-’em-ups and action shooters, “Escaping Wonderland” is a real oddity like that thorny flower blooming in a drab world. As the spiritual successor of the classic “Down the Rabbit Hole,” “Escaping Wonderland VR” shows why VR was meant to deliver those great story-driven adventures to new and old fans alike.

A Familiar World, A New Adventure

Set against Lewis Carroll’s fantastical backdrop, “Escaping Wonderland” introduces a new heroine, but with that oh-so-familiar goal: finding her way home. Playing through stunningly designed dioramas, players will navigate through such recognizable heroes as the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, and the Mad Hatter-all lavishly brought to life through superb voice acting and delightful banter.

Gameplay: A Perfect Blend of Perspectives

“Escaping Wonderland” gives diorama-style exploration and first-person interactions in one unique and fully immersive VR experience:

Diorama View: Explore Molly through intricately designed levels that you navigate using your VR controller.
First-Person Puzzles: Switch perspectives to solve the puzzle and interact with Wonderland’s quirky inhabitants.
Hidden Treasures: Collect diary snippets which enrich the story and reward the player’s exploration.

Delightful rather than frustrating puzzles

While it may not be an overly complex game, “Escaping Wonderland” has a lovely balance of logical thinking and creative problem-solving. From a stint as a DJ for diligent miners to tampering with time itself. Each puzzle is new and tied into the fantastical world around you.

A Visual and Auditory Feast

With the presentation of “Escaping Wonderland,” Cortopia Studios outdoes itself:

Breathtaking Graphics: Every one of the 8 stages is an image extravaganza, with its own type of landscape – snowy to royal hedge mazes.
Lag-free Game: No bugs, no edge flickering – just pure, immersive game play.
Enchanted Soundtrack: A score that just complements the magical atmosphere of Wonderland.

A Story That Touches the Heart

Although “Escaping Wonderland” is full of humorous pop culture references and light moments, it never shies away from more serious moments. The core message of the game, targeted towards adults, is revealed gradually and ends with a beautiful finale that might just make you tear up.

Replayability and Easter Eggs

While it’s a very linear title with only one ending, there are plenty of the dialogue choices and secret collectibles to make replaying worth it, and observant players will get further insight into Molly’s story and the world of Wonderland.
