The Room VR: A Dark Matter

Mechanics

A Dark Matter is a typical representative of the logical-adventure genre "hidden object", so the rules governing the game are not overly complicated. As a policeman, we can move around the Institute's facilities, and in each of them we have to find objects related to the missing Egyptologist. Thanks to the functions provided by VR goggles, we can view them from any perspective, and in a special menu we get their more detailed descriptions. Sometimes, in order to get to the next clue, we have to combine several items - e.g. by matching the case with the right key we get the item hidden in it. While exploring the locations, maintained mainly in the museum style, we can ourselves with additional gadgets, such as ultraviolet trace detection glass. The environment is very interactive and allows you to play with moving objects from one place to another or putting together different puzzles.

Technical aspects

The whole gameplay mechanics has been designed to make the most of virtual reality goggles. In addition to the option to lift and rotate objects, the creators have also created a 3D Audio system that enhances the impression that we are actually at the Institute.
