Once locked in a suspended cage and not remembering how they got into it The Woods: VR Escape the Roomthe character has to get out of imprisonment, solving riddles and various puzzles. The movement of unit is not accompanied by teleportation or artificial walking, everything occurs when interacting with platforms and based on the physical properties of bodies. This feature prevents motion sickness in the game. Passing takes up to 30 minutes. There is only a single mode, without the possibility of choosing a level of complexity.

Being in a locked state, an atmosphere of anxiety and inevitability is pumped out, especially when a middle -aged man is already nearby nearby. There are no tips and training elements, everything needs to be guessed independently, by trial and error. Having oriented that the game wants and how to act, the narrative becomes on linear rails and moves forward, without the ability to turn somewhere, or do something extraordinary. To solve puzzles, the protagonist has a knife, stone and everything that will be found near yourself. Interactive items, they can be taken, examined, quit, read. It is on interaction with the surroundings that the whole gameplay is built.

In The Woods: VR Escape the Room there are only two locations: a jungle, where the player is at the top in a trap and a dungeon. The design is well worked out, there is refraction of light rays, a change of day and night, and the forest and the cave look as realistic as possible. Sound effects perfectly complement the picture, against the background you can hear the singing of birds, rustle of foliage, dripping condensate from the walls of the cave. It is intuitively clear where to go and what it is desirable to pay attention to. The drawing range is small, the fog delays the entire area, preventing the map from completely inspecting the map.
