What players say
Cool premise, good graphics and UI. However, truly some of the worst and misleading puzzles I have ever played from this publisher.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I have very mixed feelings about this game. I should point out that, unlike some other negative reviews which say the puzzles make no sense, that's not my experience. The puzzles do make sense, even if they're sometimes rather convoluted... The puzzles are really poorly balanced. Some are so disconcertingly simple that you find yourself thinking "Is that it?", and on several occasions I wasted time looking for more...
I'd recommend this to someone like me, someone who's done all the big Escape Room games and is looking to kill some time. Not recommended for first time or new Escape Room players. I got it on sale for $3 and it was a good few hours. The puzzles don't always make sense, and I had to brute force a few where I couldn't figure it out even with the hint, even using the hint, some of the puzzles are a pretty big stretch...
