Hotel Infinity Proves VR Still Has the Power to Melt Your Brain
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Studio Chyr's Hotel Infinity brings impossible geometry and roomscale puzzles to PSVR2 and Meta Quest, proving that virtual reality still delivers unmatched spatial wonder.
Studio Chyr, the team behind the critically acclaimed puzzle hit Manifold Garden, is back with a new project that bends geometry in all the right ways. Hotel Infinity is available now on PSVR2 and Meta Quest, plunging players into a deserted, jazz-infused five-star hotel that treats the laws of physics as mere suggestions. Corridors loop endlessly, elevators trap you in recursive loops, and standard room layouts shift around you. As Eurogamer's Matt Wales points out in his recent feature, the game handles spatial confusion with incredible style, wrapping you in an atmospheric fever dream of warm wood tones and impossible architecture.
What makes the experience genuinely special is how it utilizes roomscale movement. Rather than relying on control sticks to navigate, Hotel Infinity encourages you to physically walk through your play space, utilizing a modest room footprint to trick your brain into traversing massive virtual halls. Puzzles range from mixing drinks at a lounge bar to solving equations on a piano, but they are consistently elevated by spatial trickery, such as finding a tiny cupboard inside a drawer that holds your objective. It is a physical, hands-on experience that leans heavily into the unique immersion of virtual reality.
For players looking to break away from traditional flat screens, this release serves as a timely reminder of what dedicated VR hardware can achieve when developers prioritize creative spatial design. While you will need to clear a bit of physical floor space in your living room to get the most out of it, the payoff is a disorienting, unforgettable trip. You can read the original, in-depth feature over at Eurogamer to get a full sense of just how wild Studio Chyr's latest creation really is.
