Short (like an hour or two) and decently challenging.

It's a quick and fun little escape room game to scratch the puzzle itch. I'm always a fan of that. On the simpler side, can be done in an evening even on your first try if this isn't your first escape-room game. A couple puzzles irritate me just because some particular information isn't telegraphed in the best way, but you can't win them all. Note that this game has a timed mode. You do not need to play with this mode. If solving puzzles in a time crunch gives you anxiety or makes it less fun, just turn it off. I'm generally NOT a fan of puzzles with timed elements since I think the genre works best when players can think at their own pace so the saving grace is the timed mode is optional.

It's an ok escape room game, but some puzzles were either too simple, or too annoying like you have to click that edge beneath the desk to find the handle to continue. Just clicking everything to find some such weird hidden thing is not that fun imo. The music based puzzle was also cringe, I always hate tone matching puzzles.

My wife and I completed the game in just under 5 hours. We give it a 7 out of 10. You will need a walk through for some of the puzzles. For $3.99 it's worth getting.
