The main draw of Ghost Towns is the array of puzzles you encounter while on the quest to find your brother. Nevertheless, the developers have prioritised storytelling more than in The Room VR. Personally, I appreciated this shift, as a VR experience truly excels when it combines an engaging narrative with a well-structured storyline. This method allows the game to blend puzzles with storytelling, gradually unveiling more about the events and the surroundings you are investigating, which ultimately enhances the overall experience.

Although the game generally follows a linear path, there are certain rooms that provide limited opportunities for exploration. It’s advantageous to thoroughly examine these spaces, as they hold more than just puzzle hints and necessary items. Each area also includes collectible magazines that feature headlines pertinent to that location. I wish these magazines delved deeper into the lore of their respective areas, as this would motivate players to gather them for reasons beyond mere completion.

Fireproof Games has designed a diverse range of puzzles that keep you engaged throughout the roughly four-hour campaign. Each setting presents a unique theme for its puzzles, ensuring that while they may share some common elements, they are cleverly crafted to feel distinct and often more challenging than the previous ones. While experienced puzzle enthusiasts might find them a bit easy, the enjoyment factor remains consistently high.
