Maskmaker

Innerspace VR proves once again how a game concept works in VR. It's fun to always find new larvae fragments, because of course you absolutely want to penetrate into large temples of majestic splendor. We give Maskmaker a clear must-play recommendation.

Maskmaker is a perfect introductory title to virtual reality, able to literate the newbie gamer and entertain the more veteran one in a relaxed manner.

Hampered only by some clumsy storytelling and awkward mechanical problems, Maskmaker is an immersive VR experience and an inventive adventure game with enough fun gimmicks to feel like a fresh take on the genre.

Mask maker is a true demonstration of how games can do VR with expert implementation. Every interaction the game provides is built to make the most of VR’s specific advantages while showcasing beautiful environments with a melancholy feeling permeating the quiet world around you. If you have a VR headset connected to Steam, then it is absolutely worth experiencing, even if only to count how many times you say “Woah”.

Maskmaker is very much a slow burner which you need to give time to develop past the first three levels, after which you’ll be rewarded with a rich puzzle experience. It took just over four hours to complete, feeling a lot less because the narrative is so engrossing. Much like A Fisherman’s Tale, Maskmaker is mostly a one and done title, there are hidden memory pieces to find if you didn’t manage to the first time around but that’s about it. Some sort of unlockable sandbox mode after the campaign ends to fill the mask makers store with your own designs would’ve been the icing on the cake. Even so, in Maskmaker InnerspaceVR has created a fine puzzle experience.
