Jan. 2025
This is a borderline recommend. I decided to recommend it based mostly on the price. While much of the game is nice, it does have it's instances of "guide damn it". One key was hidden so well, only visible for a second while you're at another location, that I would have never found it myself, not in hours. Another time the solution was pretty moon-logicky, imagine using a crowbar to open a cookie jar, and yet another time the solution could only be found by brute forcing, not logical thought. No help system is in the game either, so in that cases you have to search externally. Thankfully there is a nice text only guide on steam. It's also very short, just 4 rather small rooms. Expect about 2 hours, I just have more because I went after the achievements. Oh and your progress isn't saved inside rooms. Just after each one. This game also does the cardinal sin of puzzle games. On the normal game mode, it hastens you along with a ticking clock, and half it's achievements are behind time gates. How are you supposed to enjoy a puzzle game if you're hurried along? I hate time limits in most games, but in puzzle games is the very worst place. The game would have fully deserved a "not recommend" for that alone. It's saving grace was that there is another game mode without a clock (insultingly called "easy" even tho the puzzles stay exactly the same) and it's low price.

The puzzles are great! I enjoy the 3D aspect and also enjoyed the ease of movement. I just wish that in the middle of the level it would do a save. Currently it only does a save when you have completed a level. Also wish that there were hits available. Also would be nice if when you were done with an item it would eliminate it out of the inventory list.

Very interesting game, short, sweet, to-the-point. You will spend about 40 to 60 minutes per level, exactly right when it comes to difficulty, not too demanding, not too easy. I highly recommend it.

After playing a couple of rooms i find it is fairly challenging and surprisingly fun. I actually lost the first time I played but tried again and got the room in a decent time. If you like escape room situations this is a pretty good game but try to get it on a discount because there are only 4 rooms so it won't take long.

Another very enjoyable 3D puzzle game, a great way to get your escape room fix if you've tried a real-life venue before and failed at it. But be warned: in the last level there is a puzzle where you have to replicate a melody, so people like me with no musical ability will find it near-impossible. For me, what you hear played to you sounds nothing at all like what the xylophone plays, it was that baffling. Unfortunately, you can't brute-force the solution. I have managed some musical puzzles before, in games like Kairo and The Guest, but this one sucked.
