Exit Condition One

You awake in a mysterious room. There’s only one obvious exit and it is locked. Can you find your way out?

Description

You awaken in a cryogenic storage facility, where a robot refers to you as the curator and alerts you to a security system malfunction. The portal back to civilization is down. Can you outwit security, restore the portal, and escape? You’ll need to overcome dozens of puzzling challenges by crafting tools, remote controlling drones, rewiring circuits, climbing, playing Match-3 games, and even dancing! With five distinct levels expanding from a single small room to a cathedral-like boss level, Exit Condition One offers a unique and fully immersive experience.

The game is built from the ground up for roomscale VR on the Quest. Unlike most “roomscale” games, if you have 2m x 3m of space, it will adapt the in-game area to your physical space, allowing full navigation by walking and climbing, no locomotion controls required. The game also supports all locomotion modes. With full physics integration, almost all objects are interactive, and your hands never “ghost out.” There are no jump scares.

Key Facts

History

During Covid, Damon was sitting on the couch having watched everything on Netflix and having played everything on Steam. Remembering that he enjoyed creating escape rooms for the family at Christmas and that he was a coder, he thought “how hard could it be to create a one room escape room in VR?” A month later, he showed the programmer-art version to his brother-in-law who owns his own game studio. His brother-in-law loved the gameplay, suggested it could be a real game, and created the initial art for the game. Market research suggested that it really needed to have a series of rooms which, three years later, led to the multi-level puzzle adventure you see today. Along the way, it became clear that smashing together assets from the Unity asset store wasn’t going to be enough and Hichem Korbosli joined the project. The initial one-room escape room is now the free demo which has a 4.5 rating and 36 primarily 5 star reviews.
