Last Labyrinth Is A Nightmare-Fueled Escape Room Tailor-Made For VR

last-labyrinthTasked with escaping the confines of a mysterious mansion, Last Labyrinth begins with the player tied to a wheelchair — hands and legs bound together — inside a dark room; their only other company being a young girl who speaks an unrecognizable foreign language. Right off the bat, the immersive escape room experience sets itself apart from its contemporaries with its unique interaction system. Unable to physically move their legs or arms, players can trigger levers, activate switches, and interact with various other environmental elements by directing the young girl, Katia, to different positions throughout each room.

Of course, neither Katia nor the player can understand one another. As a result, players “communicate,” using a laser pointer attached to their head which allows them to guide the young companion towards specific objects. Before Katia performs each desired action, she’ll “ask” for confirmation by pointing at the object, at which point the player can either nod “yes” or “no” to complete the action.

While the experience can sometimes slow down to a crawl during a few of the lengthier challenges, the comfortable, seated experience manages to keep you constantly engaged throughout, thanks in large part to its consistently-unsettling environments.

One of Last Labyrinth’s most defining elements is the gruesome deaths you and Katia are subject to as a result of failing certain puzzles. This can include everything from decapitation and impalement, to falling or being crushed to death.
