The Invisible Hours is a complex murder mystery in VR, in which players freely explore an intricate web of interwoven stories within a sprawling mansion. This is not a game. This is not a movie. This is a piece of immersive theatre with many tangled threads.

Wow, I'm late to the game here, but just played through Chapter 1 last night in VR and was completely and totally hooked. The vibe of the game feels very much like a "Knives Out" story but plays similarly in a way to "Return of the Obra Dinn", though I should note both were released after "The Invisible Hours". The mechanics of pausing, rewinding, and fast forwarding make for a super intriguing "whodunit" unraveling of mysteries as you replay scenes from different persons' perspectives, and follow them as they splinter away and rejoin one another, uncovering hidden motives and connections between characters. The planning and care that must have gone into all these interwoven subplots while maintaining a super compelling overarching narrative track is just incredible. The conceit of the theatre as hub for this story is perfect and the user interface and tools presented at the chapter summary are so ingenious and perfect as well. The inclusion of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison as major players in the story adds another layer of intrigue and allure, considering the historical context of their real-life relationship which was adversarial to say the least. These historical figures add some wonderful grounding and weight to the scenes and situations. Can't wait to go back!

A genuinely unique visual novel-like experience where you can follow the story by following different characters around. You get to the end of one story and think you 'understand' what is going on only to follow someone else later and realize you had it all wrong. Only by following each character can you finally piece the whole story together. Great use of VR.
It seems like a good game based on other reviews, but unfortunately, I was unable to play it due to the voices not working. If you do buy the game, I suggest trying to play the first 10 minutes and checking if the NPC voices are working. If they aren't, do not play the game for more than 2 hours, as you will be less likely to get a refund (I spent 5 hours trying to figure out the audio issues, but was unable to resolve it). And the company Tequila Works is no longer running, so there is no way to get support for the game anymore.
It's not really a game, it's more of a movie that you are in the room for. You can freely maneuver the map to see what each character is up to at any given point. At the beginning I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it, but I did. The story was fairly slow at the start, but got more interesting as it went on. You really have to watch the story progress from each character's point of view to get a full idea of what's going on, as there are side plots and other happenings behind the scenes. The story is pretty short, taking only around 3 to 4 hours to complete. I clocked in 5 hours, but I went back to finish up some collectibles and missed achievements. I would recommend the game, although at a deep discount as the retail price is a bit steep for what it is.
no oculus sdk when oculus store version exists had to rebuy
The game just crashes when I start it in VR on three different computers (when one of them is a laptop). The devs just ignore the crash reports, which I send everytime. Nothing is fixed. Massive dissapointment, 'cause the game looks really good.
An interesting format for storytelling, but the story they tell is "we should sacrifice ourselves to Elon Musk because he's a genius that will save humanity." Booooo. I know media literacy is dead because zero reviews mention this and it is not even the subtext of the game, it is just the text.
This was one of the coolest ways to experience a story, in my opinion. There wasn't really much gameplay, however being able to walk around the set, follow any character that interested you, and piece together what is happening in your own time is an incredible experience. I can't think of any other game that has done this and that is a real loss to us all, as it is just a wonderful way to see a story play out. It's watching a movie, but you have control of the camera and can examine anything you want, whenever you want.
As advertised, it's an immersive interactive experience. Playable without VR and is pretty enjoyable. I'd get it at a steep discount though. It takes about 5 hours to see all the storylines. It's not crazy spectacular but it's also not awful. I enjoyed my time for sure.
Waaaaay too easy to accidentally delete your save file. No way to skip an Act/Chapter if you've already done it.
