You've spent the day lounging about your apartment, contemplating what else to watch on TV. As you gaze around the room, you remember that there was an official looking letter that came in the mail - perhaps you should open it and see what it is... The Unwelcomed is an escape the room (EtR) type game created for VR and was inspired by such classics as Crimson Room. The Unwelcomed starts by inviting you to come to your late uncle's mansion to claim it as your own. Once you arrive, however, it's going to be hard to leave... What you need to know about this release: For Keyboard and Mouse users, the Keyboard binds are as follows: E – Use/Interact: Any object that can open, such as doors, drawers, or lids are openable by targeting them with the crosshairs and pressing this button. Additionally, some objects require another object to work, such as grabbing the keys from the hanger and 'using' them while in contact with the door handle in the apartment. Right Click – Pick Up Object: Any object that can be picked up, target with the crosshairs and hold the right click button to grab it. Left Click – Fire Gun (If Found): After finding the gun, you can shoot pellets at things. Mouse Wheel +/- While holding an object, scroll the mouse wheel to move it closer or further away from the player. Alt – Rotate object with mouse: While holding an object, hold ALT and move the mouse to rotate the object in space in front of you in order to inspect it F – Flashlight Toggle (If Found): Once you have picked up a flashlight in a room, it will be available to you. You can turn it on/off by pressing this key. L.Shift - Crouch Toggle: You can crouch to reach lower spaces by pressing and holding Left Shift. M – Open/Close Menu: This allows you to change game settings like volume and reset the room.

Press reviews: “The Unwelcomed is a perfect “escape the room” title for those looking for a game to challenge their capacity to complete puzzles and riddles, with a bit of horror flair mixed in.” The Nerd Mentality “The Unwelcomed brings an escape room experience which doesn’t only bring some mind racking puzzles and riddles, but also brings a great atmosphere with it. This is an atmosphere that feels right out of a horror game, however, there is no scares in sight – showing what a great job they’ve done with the immersion in this game. If you are a fan of puzzles and riddles you will love The Unwelcomed, which is down to the level of thought and effort that has been put into them.” Tattastic Gamer VR
