Evaluation

Time Lock VR 1 launched on August 9, 2017 as a self-contained single-player VR puzzle experience. The developer (Whale Rock Games / WR-VRG) has never announced any DLC, expansions, or post-launch content specifically for this title. The last update directly referencing Time Lock VR 1 was a feature patch on September 9, 2022, which addressed quest logic fixes, performance improvements, and added several new languages — purely maintenance work with no new content. Since that September 2022 patch, the developer's communications have focused entirely on other projects in their portfolio: Time Lock VR 2 (released July 13, 2022), Space Accident VR (announced March 2024), Dofamine VR (announced January 2025 for a February 2025 release), and two upcoming titles — Shadow of the Matrix and VALDIS — both of which had demos available as of February 2026. None of these posts reference any further work on Time Lock VR 1. The game shipped as a finished product and the developer has clearly moved on to other projects.

About this game

Time Lock VR 1 is an atmospheric first-person VR puzzle game where your main tool is Time Control.

You are a time agent trapped in a scientific experiment. Space and time are distorted, and to escape you’ll need to use unique abilities: slow down moving objects, rewind them to the past, or shift them across timelines.

Gameplay

  • Control time to solve puzzles: slow down, rewind, or shift objects between timelines.

  • Explore environments where each location exists in different time periods.

  • Interact with a fully immersive VR world: throw objects, open drawers, switch on lights, and uncover hidden details.

  • Fight enemies using special weapons and time-shift abilities.

  • Complete mini-games and logic challenges built around temporal mechanics.

Features

• Full time-control mechanics as the core of gameplay.

• A mix of puzzles, combat encounters, and mini-games.

• Sci-fi atmosphere: labs, portals, distorted spaces.

• Fully interactive VR environments.

• Single-player VR experience for fans of puzzles and science fiction.
