Mechanisms of Mystery

Independently Developed

Mechanisms of Mystery (previously Escape Artist) is an escape the room VR game designed and developed completely by myself. (Art and audio assets purchased from the Unreal Marketplace).

It has had a multi-year development process as I have had to work on it while working full-time for the past several years. 

The game is now fully released on Steam and can be purchased for $4.99. It is compatible with all major PC VR systems. So far it has been well reviewed. Below can be found videos of development and design documents. 

WARNING - Do not proceed further if you are a player, there will be many spoilers and answers to puzzles. 

This is a presentation I gave about the game and my process at a studio I worked at. SPOILER ALERT this reveals many puzzles and some full scopes of the game. Do not watch if you are an interested player.



Here are some key features and functionality, with little to no spoilers for how the game will play. Not a whole lot of the game is on display, as it's a puzzle game most development process would spoil the game for potential players.
