We played through the first story: <\/span>Plymouth Point - A Missing Person Hunt<\/span><\/em>. In this story, Ivy Isklander has gone missing and it is our job to find her as we have recently just joined Plymouth Point Resident\u2019s watch. <\/span><\/p>\n My team consisted of 4 players in total. One person on the team was sharing their screen as we looked through the clues. I found the experience to be very fun and interesting. It started off as a video call with an old lady which made it seem like it was real. The clues were easy to follow and were not very confusing. The only thing that was a bit obstructed was the one part where we were to find the second part of a recording but we could not figure out the puzzle until the clue was sent to us via chat.<\/span><\/p>\n As another player on the team, what I liked about the game is that it was easy to play and ran smoothly. There were parts where things were easier to find, and solve and some weren't that easier. I personally really enjoyed playing and can\u2019t wait to play the others!<\/span><\/p>\n To be honest, I have never been in an escape room, so I did not know what to expect. I did see the trailer for how to play Isklander. I am happy to say it was a lot of fun and I did enjoy myself and it was much better than what I thought when I was looking at the trailer. To be fair as this was the first part of the trilogy, I did enjoy the setup and the story. I would have loved for it to have a few more live-action performances; as I think they were so engaging and hooked me in. I did have the odd network issue (that could have been on my end) but it was a little annoying. The time seemed to go so quickly but that could have been because I was having such a good time with my team trying to solve the escape room. I would like to play the other two parts of the trilogy to see what else Swamp Motel can do with this: reality adventure. I would recommend anyone who likes the idea of a virtual escape room to check it out with their friends and family, I am sure they will have a lot of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n Isklander website:<\/span> www.isklander.com<\/a> A big thank you to Nassir and the rest of the games team for all their help in this review.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"The Isklander Trilogy:\u00a0Plymouth Point Review","post_excerpt":"Alternate reality adventure","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-isklander-trilogy-plymouth-point-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/vimeo.com\/566174041","post_modified":"2022-10-08 02:42:04","post_modified_gmt":"2022-10-08 01:42:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=206517","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":202702,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2018-11-23 23:49:03","post_date_gmt":"2018-11-23 23:49:03","post_content":" It's safe to say that the \"Special Relationship\" between the UK and USA has seen better days.<\/span><\/p>\r\n But it's worth remembering all of the wonderful things that the USA has given to this country; The Waltons, Kenny Powers, Limp Bizkit, Beyonc\u00e9, and a healthy fear of the NRA.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The American Dream VR, a satirical virtual take on America's obsessive gun culture, has released an in-game tribute to the Fourth of July on the eve of the explosive-fuelled American holiday.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The American Dream is a VR game coming later this summer that examines America's obsession with guns and gun culture from Aussie devs Samurai Punk.
