Paranormal Detective: Escape from the 90's

Well-crafted escape games, somewhere between escape room, retro gaming, and comedy.
With its excellent 90s atmosphere, it's a joy to dive back into your memories ;)
Full of nods and references to those wonderful years in terms of movies and series (The X-Files, etc.) and typical objects from those years (consoles, toys, VCRs, etc.).
The puzzles are accessible, and you progress without ever really getting stuck for long.
This makes it very accessible to everyone.
Never boring, with its highly varied mini-games, its puzzles with well-balanced difficulty, and its irresistible humor, this is excellent value for money for an experience that's a bit short but contagiously good humor.

This is a fun escape room game that has a neat variety of puzzles and finds a good balance between easy and hard. It's certainly not perfect, but it's worth a look if you like escape room games along with some 90's nostalgia and some humor thrown in for good measure.

It was OK. I played on the Quest 3 and with smooth locomotion couldn't go forward/backward or turn at the same time. I had to stop what I was doing to do the other. I felt like a robot on rails and there were times I'd get stuck and it was a complete immersion breaker. That alone made me want to drop it a star, then I had to glitch one of the games (skee ball) to complete it because the ball wouldn't roll the hill.

I enjoyed what I played of the story, but it isn't well polished. I ended up stopping about half way through because I wasn't that into it with the glitches. Maybe I'm spoiled because of how awesome Pierhead Arcade is as an arcade and physics. I may have rated it higher if it was half the price, but it wasn't that fun for 11.99

I love escape rooms in real life, and this game mimics one pretty darn well. I love the idea of a 90s-arcade themed room, especially having to use some of the actual arcade games in order to complete the mission. In true escape room fashion, having several actual rooms to unlock to proceed was a nice touch. There are a couple game mechanics I wish could be improved (such as being unable to carry more than two items (one in each hand) at a time, or the inability to keep your hint system (cellphone) with you at all times. But for $12, you really can't complain about minor things like that. The ending was kind wonky and not at all in the spirit of an escape room, but I guess you just have to consider that an extra bonus in the app, and think of the final code you enter as the "real" end of the escape room experience.

I really like the arcade room in this game. But the game would be even better if all the arcade games worked.

Paranormal Detective: Escape from the 90's is an odd title as its a mystery kind of detective game but also your own personal arcade on your quest 2, I played it for the arcade aspect and really loved the variety of titles though I did think the games were kind of lacking the combination of them definitely made it feel fun to play around for an hour trying them out and hanging out. Watch the video review for gameplay of the games in the arcade and my full thoughts on the arcade in this title.
