Temple of Aluxes is a free VR-only puzzle adventure from Silver Machine Studios. You explore a lost temple across several rooms, hunt for treasures and work out how to get out again, using a hand scanner to reveal clues hidden in the walls and objects. It suits VR owners looking for a no-cost escape room with real space to move around in.
About 80 percent of its 35 Steam reviews are positive. The one detailed review we found praises how natural it feels to physically look around and handle objects instead of clicking them, and notes that the temple itself is the focus rather than story or combat. The store lists both logic puzzles and skill challenges, and it supports room-scale play, teleporting and free movement.
Written feedback is limited, so how fair the harder puzzles are is unclear. It is a 2017 game and looks the part. Since it costs nothing, any VR puzzle fan can simply try it; there is no flat-screen mode and no co-op.
Pros

- Several temple rooms with a scanner tool for hidden clues
- Room-scale, teleport and free movement all supported
Cons
- VR-only and single-player
- Little written feedback on puzzle quality
- Visuals show its 2017 origins
