“This $7.99 game offers a concise yet engaging narrative experience.”
“This $7.99 game is shorter than some free demos, where there are no bugs and could at least have some type of story.”

The gameplay features a total of eight rooms, but many users feel it lacks depth and requires improvements in puzzle design and mechanics, particularly for touch users. At present, the short duration of about 15 minutes for a price of 8 euros is seen as unworthy, though there is hope for future expansions that could enhance the experience.
“There are lots of gameplay elements, with about 8 rooms total.”
“Overall, I think it has potential, but it needs changes in the puzzle design and improvements in mechanics for touch users.”
“Spending 8 euros for about 15 minutes of gameplay is not worth it right now in my opinion, but if more escape rooms are added later, it could become a very interesting game.”
“Overall, I think it has potential, but it needs changes in the puzzle design and, at least for touch users, it needs fixing mechanic-wise.”
“Spending 8 euros for about 15 minutes of gameplay is not worth it right now in my opinion, but if more escape rooms are added later (which I hope will be added to this game and not created as new games in a series), it might become a very interesting game.”
