Super creative! This game is very creative! Gameplay looks pretty simple, but it's actually really hard. Without a guide or searching the internet, it'll take you hours just for the first level (which, before starting, says is "very easy". Imagine how hard other levels will be). Took me around 4 hours just for the first level - that is, with some googling and using guides. There are lots of ways to escape from what I could see. Or maybe first level was advanced tutorial as to what items there are and what ways you can take to escape. In any case, I bought on 90% discount, but I could see myself enjoying even at higher price! 10+ old game for sure, but there are not many games as creative as this. Definitely must try, but only if you're expecting some challenge!
