Test report Chernobyl

When the worldwide feared Super-GAU occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union, the reactor of unit 4 had only been in operation for two years. Even years after the disaster, the processes and the mistakes were painstakingly reconstructed. Some details will probably never be clarified. If you still want to follow the traces of the disaster, you should try the VR title Chernobyl. We have the game at Vrilliant tested.

Is it possible to change history? In the case of Chernobyl, that would tend to be valuable. What is impossible in real life could be experienced in VR. In the title Chernobly, which was developed by the Ukrainian company arvilab, the players are sent back in time.

After a brief explanation of how to use the controllers and the do's and don'ts, we're off. We receive our backpacks, VR goggles and the two controllers to set off into the irradiated world. Armed with a dosimeter, we make our way through the dark world from sequence to sequence, or to be more precise, back to the past at the time of the explosion. On our journey through time, we encounter various locations as well as ghosts of people who died as a result of the disaster.

However, we don't reach the end and thus the explosion, because unfortunately my test partner's glasses come off and his virtual world literally turns upside down. A little motion sickness sends its regards.

We don't find out whether we could have prevented the disaster, because we abort, and not because we think the game is bad, quite the opposite! However, we still want to travel from the ghost town to the fantastic world of Alice (test report to follow) and see if this escape game is just as excellently done.

The thriller convinces with partly tricky puzzles and a convincing production. The game is for 1-4 players and is approved for ages 18 and up.
