Lights Out VR is a game where the player has to leave an escape room, but most (if not all) of the lights are out. In each of the different rooms there are different puzzles and challenges, but the most important thing to remember is that you cannot advance to the next room (or the exit) without completing ALL puzzles in the current room.

Being in Virtual Reality does allow the player to teleport, but teleporting will be limited to only certain areas. The player will be able to run, jump, and grab items, but there will be limitations as to how fast a player can move, how high they can jump, and where certain items can be taken.

It is important for the player to try and pick up as much as they possibly can, but that does not mean that everything the player grabs can be taken with them throughout the entire game. Some puzzles require keys, some require difficult challenges to complete, and some require sacrifices to progress.
