Boston, MA. USA: Developer Damon Poole and VRPR are pleased to announce the launch date of Exit Condition One, coming Friday the 6th December to Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2.
 

Step into the shoes of the curator as you escape from a series of rooms that increase in size and difficulty. Uncover the secrets of locations like the cryogenic storage facility, exhibit halls, and the central computer facility.

Using your wits and an open mind, you’ll wield tools such as CPU cores and a trusty hammer, alongside futuristic devices like the porta-portal and recrafting gun.
 

Engage in a world of puzzles and mini-games, including Match-3, shooting, climbing, and dancing. Test your hands, eyes, and brain through multi-layered puzzles.

Play seated with a range of comfort controls, standing, or in full room-scale by physically walking around. The game automatically syncs in-game areas to match your play area to provide the most immersive experience available in VR.

More about Exit Condition One
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 Meta Quest platform. 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. For static or sitting players, the game supports multiple locomotion options. With full physics integration, almost all objects are interactive, and your hands never "ghost out." There are no jump scares.
 

This game will be officially released at $14.99 on Dec 6, 2024. The only thing remaining is playtesting and finding and fixing any final issues. The most recent update was on Oct 31st, 2024.
 

The initial one-room escape room is now the free demo which has a 4.5 rating and 36 primarily 5 star reviews.

More about the Developer

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 joined the project.

Approaching release the team have been working on hundreds of quality-of-life improvements and are now ready to bring Exit Condition One to the Meta Quest platform this December.
