### 4/5 — 何年振りかに

*2022-01-11, version 1.1*

暫く振りに脱出初期の頃を振り返りながらトライしました。
あの当時、全く解釈できないまま何度もヒント頼みだったものが、今ではさっくり解ける迄のベテランとなり、それでもやりがいある作りだった事に、ただ脱帽です。
丁寧な作りと、次へのヒントは初心者には優しい流れであったと、
又シンプルかつオーソドックスで無駄のない進行はトライする側も迷いの少ない物であったと
、こんな作品がこれからもずっと続きます様
願ってやみません。
何時迄も応援しております。

### 3/5 — Repetitive and too easy

*2021-09-01, version 1.0*

The game had very easy puzzles if they could even be called that and clues that followed the same pattern almost every time. Probably one of the poorest escape games I’ve played.

### 3/5 — 동영상 때문에 렉걸려요

*2021-06-17, version 1.0*

동영상 때문에 렉걸려서 아무것도 안되네요

### 2/5 — 沒辦法上樓

*2020-09-15, version 1.0*

點了手扶梯沒辦法上到二樓，只會一直重複動畫

### 2/5 — Softlocked

*2020-08-18, version 1.0*

I don’t know if it’s a problem caused by the model of my phone, but I am unable to progress in the game because the cutscene that takes me up the escalator loops instead of ending on its on own. Could you just remove the cutscene entirely so I’m able to actually beat the game?

### 4/5 — Made it

*2020-07-28, version 1.0*

Challenging. It kept me thinking and coming back until I was finished. I did try to do a walk through to finish the game but it wasn’t in English and so it did give me a clue to figure it out.

### 4/5 — Easier than hall

*2020-06-28*

Much quicker and easier than the previous one I played, Hall escape. But still enjoyable and not too easy which is often worse than hard

### 3/5 — (*'へ'*) ﾝｰ

*2020-01-13, version 1.0*

グラフィックは綺麗。謎が単純でタネもわかり易い。謎解き後の変化も(相変わらずシュールな)動きがありわかり易い。

移動，特にエスカレーター付近が煩わしい。
ムービーの画質がちょっと雑に感じる。あと再生をキャンセルできる機能が欲しい。動きそのものが気持ち悪い。
一部アルファベットを出さずに進めた。アイテム探せなかった。
謎を解いた瞬間に効果音出るけど、最後だけ間があるのは演出なのか、苛立ちしか感じない。

辛口コメントで恐縮だが、当初から独特の世界観に進歩が見られないため「３」のままとした。

### 4/5 — 괜찮아요

*2019-11-14, version 1.0*

힌트가 없어서 마지막에 살짝 헤맸는데 그래도 탈출성공

### 4/5 — 계단

*2019-10-25, version 1.0*

계단은 어떻게 올라가죠? 동영상이 멈추질 못해 못 올라가고 있어요

### 4/5 — Good game

*2019-07-30, version 1.0*

Enjoyed. Logical and sensible.

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!

*2019-04-28, version 1.0*

This one was easiest for me, the puzzles were great and I figured them out without a walkthrough. I love Goro Sato’s games! If you are looking for a cool, challenging and fun escape game, this is it! Definitely give it a try. 5 stars!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-04-23, version 1.0*

This one was a bit hard because I couldn't find a rain drop :) but it's just as fun as any of his other games! His escape games are my favorite!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 微妙

*2026-07-12, version 1.3*

操作はシンプルだけど、そんなんわかるわけないとかそれはないでしょと思うような設定とか、ヒント通りに組み合わせても出来なくて進まない。

### 1/5 — 超簡単な作業ゲー

*2024-12-05, version 1.3*

エリア内をウロウロして転がってるアイテムやヒント見つけてそのまま入力するだけの簡単な謎解き
…かと思ったら最後の謎解きだけ関連性のないヒントの使い回しという意地の悪い捻りw
広告視聴させるためなんだろうなって感じ

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2020-09-07, version 1.0*

The escalator has a major glitch.  I am unable to reach the top or bottom of the escalator.  It is stuck in a loop.  It repeats nonstop.  I reach the top or bottom by chance.  I have tried unload and reload.  I have turn phone off.  I have waited.  Then restarted phone.  

I am considering deleting.  I am glad I didn’t pay money for this game.

### 1/5 — Totally confused

*2020-09-04, version 1.0*

Tried several of this writers games. Clicked on a certain spot like the stairs and the game just keeps in a loop of going up and back down. Only way to stop it was to quit the game. Started game again same thing happened. Tried watching a video of the walkthrough to see what I was doing wrong. Couldn’t understand language. Gave up Same type of thing happened on his/her other games .

### 1/5 — Huh

*2020-04-16, version 1.0*

After being sent up the escalator 17 times with no ability to control it, I simply gave up.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2020-02-18, version 1.0*

I love escape games but this was so frustrating. The game would get stuck showing me how to use the escalators and then again on some trash bins. I’m disappointed.

### 1/5 — 動画が繰り返して止まられません！

*2020-01-14, version 1.0*

エレベーターの動画が一度見ると繰り返して流れてます。二階へ上がれなくても、ゲーム進めません

### 1/5 — んー

*2017-12-20, version 1.0*

回りくどい。
他の脱出ゲームと違ってただただパズルを解いてくだけだから3分で飽きた。

### 1/5 — うーん

*2017-07-20, version 1.0*

高評価だからインストールしてみたけど
移動がめんどくさいし
いちいち長いムービー見なきゃいけないのがめんどくさくて即消した
せめてキャンセルできたらいいのに。。

### 1/5 — 難易度に関しては…

*2017-05-11, version 1.0*

そこは人それぞれだと思うので評価は避けるが、謎解きの質に関しては最悪だと思う。
離れた位置の配置を記憶しておいて、また離れた位置でこれを入力する。ほぼこれだけでクリア。
その上移動する際には必ずムービーが入るため、何度も何度もそれを見るはめになる。
覚える→ムービー見る→入力する→ムービー見る→覚える→ムービー見る→…の繰り返しだけでした。

*2020-06-09, version 1.0*

Really enjoyed this.

### 5/5 — 簡単

*2020-06-06, version 1.0*

ひとつだけ隅っこにアイテムがあります…隈なくタップしてみてください。
問題自体は簡単でした。

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2020-04-10, version 1.0*

This was the first one I’ve ever played and I’m pretty sure this is the first Goro they ever made! I had trouble at the end because I didn’t know I had to put the code in, what number letter N is or O is and etc that was hard! We went to a hotel once and I had a pop tart and my mom haloed next figure the hard clue out

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-01-12, version 1.0*

Medium difficulty.

### 5/5 — Pretty simple but fun

*2019-11-20, version 1.0*

I thought this was going to be too hard at first look, but it turned out to be pretty simple. It only took me a few minutes to finish the game. Still, I liked it and thought it was fun.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-10-19, version 1.0*

Absolutely loved this game. Shall definitely play more from Garo Sato.

### 5/5 — Better than the usual escape games

*2019-07-09, version 1.0*

This game is amazing. I love the art and the general style of the game. It wasn’t impossible, and it was fun to play through. Great job!

### 5/5 — I NOAH everything!

*2019-06-15, version 1.0*

This was a great game. A little challenge but can be solved without hints. Enough puzzles to keep you thinking. Enjoyed the water fountains and final puzzle was solved by my wife as I again over thought it lol!
