Fun escape room game with a story where you solve mysteries. But the puzzle difficulty is all over the place, some are simple puzzles that basically give you the answer, or just require exploring the level, while others are obscure details that I need a hint to solve. It is inconsistent throughout. The hints are also too descriptive, they just give you a solution to a puzzle. I want more subtle hints that I can get more info from if I want it. Not solutions with a spoiler sometimes.

I love puzzle games and escape rooms. And this is right up there with very good concepts. I really enjoyed the story and the puzzles. However I found myself having to watch videos for the hints in places where I just couldn't find the connections. I am glad the hints were helpful but hated being stuck in a room without any context of using the clues until watching a video even though I felt like I was turning over all the stones so to speak.

I love escape rooms! This had such a great story that you can't achieve in an actual escape room due to size, cost, and time restraints. The "watch a video for a hint" seems like a fair system. The puzzles were 99% perfect, but there were a couple that I still didn't understand even after getting the clue. I hope they're able to use analytics, like, which puzzles did people need the most help on to build an epic sequel. 10/10 recommend to anyone who likes puzzles or escape rooms.
