Escaping Wonderland review (Quest)

As a follow-up to the early VR hit that was Down the Rabbit Hole, Escaping Wonderland is another journey into the bizarre and whimsical world inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. This time, players guide Molly through the charming landscapes, navigating a world full of puzzles and peculiar characters. The game’s diorama-style presentation brings this fantastical environment to life, making the whimsical design a highlight, even if its storytelling and gameplay mechanics leave mixed impressions.

The PlayStation 5 version retains the core mechanics of the original Early Access PC release, with the game’s procedural city-building engine crafting a unique, living environment filled with potential suspects, witnesses, and secrets. The heart of the game lies in its deep investigative systems, which allow players to explore freely, follow leads, and uncover the truth behind a variety of cases.
