I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar launches this week on Steam, Oculus and Playstation VR and for this week’s episode of VR Corner, I’ll be giving you a sneak peek at the chaos that lies within this fiendish puzzler’s first three missions.
In the video, I’ve avoided showing the solutions to the main puzzles on each mission and I’ve also chopped out most of the story beats so you can watch without fear of spoilers.
What you will see however, is me dying due to a variety of slapstick mishaps as I experiment with the many interactive objects on each level. And yes, that includes trying on multiple hats, eating and drinking anything I can get my hands on (not recommended) accidentally starting a fire on an aircraft. Standard Higton.

If you’ve played the first game in the series, you’ll know exactly what to expect from I Expect You To Die 2. It’s another highly polished, espionage-based escape room game that delivers just as many jokes as it does unique and intricate puzzles.
I Expect You To Die 2 is a seated experience so it’s perfectly suited for VR beginners, but its imaginative mysteries will provide plenty of standout moments for experience users too.
Each mission plonks you down in front of a set of interactive objects and you’ll need to work out what does what and what goes where in order to stop yourself from expiring at the hands of an evil mastermind. Successfully solving these missions can often boil down to trial and error as much as it does brain power but when the pressure is on and you’re in full puzzle-solving flow it feels genuinely thrilling to play.
