Full review

Step into the immersive world of Pipe Dreamin' VR: The Big Easy and prepare for an exciting puzzle-solving adventure in a retro-inspired 3D tetris-like virtual reality experience. Set in the subterranean depths of New Orleans, this game will put your skills to the test as you find yourself trapped in a flooding room.

Your task is clear - catch pipes and strategically place them in front of you to create an escape route from the rising water. But it's not just about connecting pipes, there are special Wildcard Pipes with unique abilities that will spice up your gameplay. And brace yourself, because some pipes even have a voice and will interact with you!

The mechanics may sound simple but don't be fooled by their apparent ease. This game offers much more than meets the eye. Dive into a series of training levels first to sharpen your skills before unlocking three thrilling procedurally-generated "free play" levels.

Each free play level boasts its own original music and captures the quirky essence of New Orleans perfectly, immersing you further into this watery world beneath the surface. Whether you choose training or free play mode from the main menu, hours of addictive fun await as each free play level presents fresh challenges through procedural generation.

In addition to mastering these challenging levels, there's another layer of excitement - hidden achievements! Compete against other players to unlock these secrets while aiming for high scores amidst these bizarre environs.



Note: The game currently only supports specific headsets mentioned above.
