What players say
This was a rough play through for me, especially the last level and the second level. I'm a pretty big escape room connoisseur and really enjoy the genre, but I really struggled here. The hint system needs a massive overhaul. It's far too vague and led to me overthinking some very basic puzzles.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Really not intuitive. Some tips are really not useful, since they just point to something you already have. There are some puzzles that don't even have a tip available. Some puzzles, even with the tip and a guide from steam are not clear on how they should be solved. The design and funcionality are great, but I can't recommend this one.
Short, but enjoyable clue-based escape room game, so you will need to piece together logic rather than mechanically assemble items as in other escape room games. Around 5 hrs worth of content, maybe slightly more if you are a complete idiot like me.
