  • An absolutely stellar escape room game

    This game is really, really good. It starts off mysterious, which quickly draws you in, wanting to see where it all goes. The clues and trails are cleverly planted, and it piques your interest as you progress through it all. The game’s music creates a somehow calm tone, with some intrigue. Kind of like an eerie calm before some sort of storm. It just really fits the atmosphere. The game’s visual look and appearance with its rooms and details is really satisfying too, and the interface can be creative at times while u play, which is something I appreciate as well. There’s so much more, you just have to play for yourself and experience. Not to mention, the devs were kind enough to make such a fun and creative game, and then MAKE IT FREE. So get it already! Anyway, I gotta get back to playing and see what happens next...and then afterwards...and then after that...it’s just so interesting uncovering bits of in formation to eventually uncover the grand mystery at the end of it all! Wait, why are you still here??? What are you waiting for??? Go play Nox!

  • Not the best escape room game I’ve played

    It seems like they were trying to develop a game similar to the Rusty Lake escape rooms, but failed miserably. It’s just not as fun or as engaging as those games. A lot of this game is nonsensical. Some of the tasks you have to do make little to no sense. I don’t want to play a game where everything is obvious, but some of the things you have to do are so unapparent that it’s a good thing there are free hints. The game is so dark that some of the clues are just indistinguishable from the rest of the graphics. For example, you had to put bottles of wine in order according to their color. The clue for this was in the basement, but when I went to look I could hardly tell what color the labels were and there’s no way to zoom in and take a closer look. A lot of the colors in the game aren’t far enough apart to where you can tell what they are. The story made little sense. The constant dialogue was annoying. And don’t even get me started on that ending. There is absolutely no reason why it needed to drag on that long. We get it, he’s confused and his dad abused him and his mom. We don’t need some dragged out bunch of lines trying to make double, triple, and quadruple sure that we understand. Especially if there’s no way to skip through it. I was bored by the end of this game. And there was no explanation about being able to fast jump from the different rooms. I discovered that accidentally. Good job on that though, because that was helpful.

  • Future of Mobile Gaming

    This is what mobile gaming should be, an incredible work of minimalistic art that can be enjoyed for hours. The gameplay and storytelling meshed beautifully. The boxy low resolution graphics (if that’s what you call it?) were done really well, and it allows for the game to play smoothly on lower spec equipment (I think, I’m not an expert). The hints were very helpful in making sure I didn’t get stuck while also not giving away the answer right away. The fast travel was definitely useful once the map was big enough. The ads were a fair price to pay for this game, though perhaps you should have an option to pay to get rid of them as well, so that people have that option. Overall, no complaints. It’s a beautiful game and I loved playing it. Kudos to all the creators, y’all did great.

  • Scared me, but great game!!

    I absolutely love this game!!! I actually had downloaded it before but, later deleted it because I got frustrated. But now I’m back with a new mindset and I found it quite lovely! I also love how there are free hints for people who are struggling. I had no problems, except for when I clicked on one of the snow globe memories it glitched and kept me from clicking back to the game, but I managed to fix it and it was fine after that. And the “scared me” part was exaggerated because, the axe part and kids room made me jump! Overall, I really hope you guys keep making games like this! Definitely will recommend to my other friends that are into games like this!

  • This is amazing and FREE

    This is a really awesome game. I have always loved puzzle games but I’ve never found one quite like this. One of the best parts of this game is you don’t have to pay too. Almost all of the other puzzle games I have played you have to pay to completely finish the game but not this one😆. I also love that the hints are free too because it’s a pain to have to watch an ad every time you get stuck. This game all works together with itself too. If you think you are finished with one room, go take another look because you probably aren’t! Overall this game is great I just don’t like having adds pop up between switching to different rooms occasionally. I do understand it is the only way to profit from the game though. AMAZING!!!

  • Amazing story, few ads, not too difficult

    Very interesting and mysterious game. Spent around 2.5 hours playing it. Only difficult parts are some puzzles. There’s only 5 really hard puzzles. Other difficult puzzles are memory based and you may have to go back and forth from rooms to see the clue. Only complaints are that most ads are not skippable but ads don’t pop up a lot. Only after opening 15-20 doors. I’ve noticed a glitch around 93% completion where areas you press may not pop up, you can’t move items, or leave rooms. To fix it you just need to go to the title Screen and back to the game. Despite that is one of the best mobile puzzle mystery games I’ve ever played. And surprisingly a good game despite being free. The ending still confuses me though and I hope one day it will be more explained.

  • Some interesting puzzles, but inconsistent, and bad ad business.

    There are some interesting puzzles here. I like the minecraft-sytle graphics. There are 2 main problems with this game. The first problem with this game is the inconsistent room states. If you move and object, open a drawer, turn on the tv, or move the dominos - they reset to their original position when you re-visit that room. It doesn’t matter if it was part of a puzzle, or not. Yet, the picture in the hallway (for example) slides off one side and hangs, but does not move anymore, and does not reset. The second problem is the fake ads for other games. It’s just bad business. The ads falsely show other gameplay that does not exist. The other games are grossly misrepresented and misleading. Why would I download another game only to find it was falsely advertized by your game? Which begs the more important question: Why should I support your Nox game, if you falsely advertise? If you can’t control what ads are shown in your game, you are foolish. If you choose to continue to falsely advertize, you are not doing youselves or your customers any favors. I played a while and got tired of the same fake ads. I can’t support bad business practices.

  • Fantastic ride

    It’s a really straightforward escape game that also quickly turns into a mystery as to why you’re there in the first place. Beginning to end it is satisfying and the puzzles are challenging. It does have ads unless you want to support the devs directly (upon beating the game I payed for the max $10 donation because they earned it), but the ads are rare enough to not get in your way (although they are unskippable). If you get stuck (as I did plenty of times), the system for hints is well done, presented in a kind of tired list of helpfulness that ranges from pointing you in the correct general direction all the way to outright telling you the answer if you still can’t get it. And the hints aren’t a part of some iap greed scheme! It’s great. I absolutely enjoyed the game and the way it’s story developed and strongly recommend it.

  • Great puzzles-disturbing mystery story

    To parents and guardians: my 10 year old likes to play escape games too, so FYI for parents and guardians: there is nothing graphically violent in the story but it is a subtly disturbing murder story involving an emotionally scarred child and implying child abuse. There is, of course, also disturbing music (at times).

    I found this a little too hard in some places but overall it was a very enjoyable game! At first I would get lost trying to find my way through series of similar doors that I couldn’t always see depending on the way the perspective was turned. (Until I unlocked the fast travel.) Some of the puzzles were too far apart (the clue from the actual puzzle) for me and there were extraneous clues that had no meaning or objects that had no use which made things confusing and at times tedious. I have to admit I had no idea there were hints available until I read it in one of these reviews. So I imagine that would have helped tremendously. However, I loved the challenging puzzles; some that were quite unique to what I’ve seen in other escape room games. I was pleasantly glued to my phone for hours wanting to figure this out.

  • Amazing Game!!!

    This game at first stumped me and I didn’t play for a couple of days. Then, on a rainy day I was bored and decided to play again. I’m soooooooo glad I did! This has been one of the best experiences video game wise that I’ve ever done. A lot of comments say that they don’t like the blockyness of everything, but I thing it adds a better level of depth to the game. I played for over an hour and only got 20% though the game! In other escape room games I would have already finished the game by then. I also read a couple of comments saying that they though that the ending didn’t add up and that they didn’t like it. I think it ended in a satisfying manor and I understood everything in the plot. Overall, this was an amazing game with lots of depth and personality. It was so fun while it lasted!
