Overview:
The game “Escape the Manor” is about a girl who gets captured by a wealthy serial killer. The owner of the manor locks her away in one of his basement cages. The player must traverse the manor, explore the rooms, complete puzzles, and find the key to escape before it's too late.
The two levels featured in the game take place in the basement of the manor, which acts as a prison of sorts, and the main floor, which contains numerous rooms that can be explored. The largest room within the manor is the library, which contains a maze of bookshelves that the player has to maneuver through in order to find the key she needs to get out.
Small time boosters can be collected by the player to give them extra time and balance the difficulty of the game, however, they must still act quickly and efficiently to escape the manor. Be wary, some of these boosters are not what they seem...
Some obstacles are put in place to slow down the player, such as the different puzzles of increasing difficulty that must be completed to receive the keys, as well as the time traps that will decrease the timer instead of adding to it.
