ESCAPE THE URBAN UNDERGROUND IS NOW LIVE ON STEAM!
A few months ago, I released the original Meta Quest version and asked VR players for honest, detailed feedback.
Players told me which parts worked, which parts were frustrating, and what the experience needed next. I listened.
This Steam launch brings the most complete version of Escape the Urban Underground so far: a major community-driven rebuild with improved visuals, more options, better performance, and new ways to adapt the challenge to each player.
WHAT’S NEW
• Completely refreshed visuals and presentation • Full settings menu with adjustable graphics • Multiple difficulty levels • Optional interactive hint system with voice and audio guidance • Improved performance, comfort, and sound • English and Spanish language supportTHE CHALLENGE
Deep beneath the city lies an abandoned subway station where a murder has just taken place. Restore power, search the crime scene, manipulate physical clues, crack security panels, and cross decaying train cars while the clock keeps running. Each attempt gives you up to 60 minutes. There are no save points and no checkpoints. If time runs out, you will need to return with the knowledge gained from your previous attempt.LAUNCH DISCOUNT
