A complex and creative escape room! Impressive work!~
This is such a wild entry, I have NO IDEA how you managed to do so much in so little time! There are so many different kinds of puzzles and things to do and it really feels like the best kind of escape room game. Some incredibly creative ideas in here, really really cool work
Thank you! I really spent an absurd amount of time on this. I basically just no lifed it for a month. Lots of late nights. So I'm really happy that the amount of effort shows.
I love escape room games and you truly made one of the best I’ve played! You have me wanting more. I really like your interpretation of Mystery House ketchup and how you actually made a mystery house! That’s really clever! Also, the payoff of seeing this doors and rooms on the roof and then getting the ability to flip the house to reach them was a highlight of the jam for me!
Ps. Super cool final boss! (Pun intended)
Wow! Thank you! That's really high praise.
Excellent puzzles that are satisfying to solve without getting too obtuse or finnicky, and truly shockingly well implemented mechanical twists that the game and environments are so thoughtfully designed around.
I've done a lot of escape rooms in my time and this one was really great! Rivaling many published Escape games with its creativity and satisfying puzzle design. The location was really cool. Absolutely loved the end game ability that completely changed the game, and was really impressed by the final boss fight. Excellent work!
Really great escape room, it's really tricky to balance these type of games properly and I think you nailed it!
Really good escape room with well designed puzzles. Solid all round.
This was an amazing escape room game with some cool and surprising mechanics.
I like escape rooms, and this is actually the first escape room video game I've played... and it's great! The hip upgrade was such a surprise and I was super excited to use it (I bolted to the air ducts). Your team did a really good job assembling a succinct escape room that could be beaten in a short period of time but also still feel rewarding and full. By the way, was there to be a puzzle with the pool table?
really really well done escape room. great puzzles. there was one i solved without understanding and was a little annoyed at the time, but after seeing the intended logic, its clear that was just on me not thinking hard enough. the power you unlock was also a really cool moment. truly game changing
Fun escape room experience with some clever puzzles! Really liked the twist once I got my upgrade. Was not expecting a boss battle at the end!
Had a lot of fun with this! I loved the arcade game and the "upgrade" was such a delightful surprise! I did get tripped up at a few parts, namely the animal puzzle (I guessed but figured out the reasoning after) and the circuit board puzzle which I still admittedly don't quite get. I also got stuck finding the bathroom because I assumed all the doors were locked after trying a few. Overall though I was impressed by how much variety there is and the finale was a big highlight!
I was a bit worried about the door thing. In retrospect I should have had all the fake doors boarded up or something. Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this the whole way through. A perfect short escape room, and that mechanic seriously elevated it. Had a huge smile on my face from that point 'til the end. Definitely up there for me this year!
