Let me preface this by saying I am not an enormous fan of puzzle video games. They usually lose attraction by specializing in one answer when open-ended puzzles are a few of my favorites. I do not need a jigsaw – I need to be a detective-style thinker. Conceal the Corpse is likely one of the greatest puzzle video games with a singular premise, and it is solely potential in digital actuality.
Developed by Realcast, who beforehand launched Simply Hoops, Conceal the Corpse appeared on Meta Quest headsets earlier this yr in early entry earlier than receiving a full launch earlier this month. The complete launch launched adjustments to the rating system and extra ranges.
Your goal for every of the sport’s six present ranges is remarkably easy – cover the corpse. There is not any context, only a timer that ticks down as you not solely cover your unlucky sufferer in several places round small maps, however it’s all the higher for that.
It is a basic-sounding idea, and also you would not suppose the premise has a lot depth, but Conceal the Corpse is much from straightforward. Being low on time is irritating sufficient, however dragging a heavy physique round whereas scouting for varied hiding spots is comparatively difficult. It is simply probably the most intense puzzle video games I’ve performed in years.
Passing every degree with the hope of an S-Rank, or at the very least an A-Rank, requires vital trial and error. There are quite a few spots to stuff your corpse away from the cops, however you may must determine it out in sufficient time earlier than pulling the physique to the situation, hiding any proof of their identification, and washing away fingerprints. It is entertaining, and though the secret is pretty mature in nature, the whimsical visuals and foolish nature make it very accessible.
Most significantly, it is a recreation that may solely work in VR. Positive, any puzzle recreation might see you press buttons on a controller or a mouse to tug round a physique, however that does not work almost as nicely. Having the physicality of dragging useless weight round whereas speeding round rooms to cover proof is immersive and exhilarating. I simply want it could supply hand monitoring help to push the immersion additional.
I like to recommend attempting it when you’re searching for a twist-er on the puzzle style, and Conceal the Corpse is now obtainable on Meta Quest in headsets.
