## What is Escape Game?

You wake up in a hot spring inn at night. The building is pitch dark, and a wooden bar seals the front door. Escape this quiet, empty inn by solving its puzzles before dawn.

"Too frustrating" and "too many ads" are the two biggest complaints about escape-room games, so we got rid of both.

Controls that never frustrate you:
- The back/forward buttons always stay in the same spot, reachable with one hand.
- Used items disappear automatically, so your inventory never gets confusing.
- Tap the right spot and it lights up right away.

Zero unfair puzzles:
- No guessing, no trial-and-error. Every puzzle can be solved logically from the clues you find.
- After solving each one, a gentle explanation tells you exactly why that is the answer.

Never get stuck:
- Three levels of hints, from a first nudge to the full answer and reasoning, only as much as you need.
- Every clue you find is saved automatically in your notebook, so you will never forget where to use it.

A soothing Japanese atmosphere:
- Paper lanterns, a wooden clock, andon lamps, the front desk. Walk through a quiet, elegant hot spring inn at night.
- Solve all 3 chapters and make it outside before dawn.

A little at a time, whenever you have a spare moment. A Japanese-style escape-room game anyone can finish feeling good about it.

### 1/5 — バグ？

*2026-08-11*

露天風呂エリアにて、の岩の文字をタップしようとあるが、出来ます？
作者は一度でもクリアまでプレイしてますか？

### 1/5 — は？

*2026-08-04*

ヒントは1プレイにつき一回しか表示されず、表示されるたった1〜2秒の間に見逃すとリセットするしかなくなる。
また、おそらくデバッグしておらずクリア不可能であり、ロッカーを開けて手ぬぐいが出てきた後はヒント通りに行動しようがどこをどう触ろうが謎解きの入力画面にすら到達しない。手ぬぐいの反応ポイントの付け忘れ？
6回やり直してもどうにもならないので、アンインストール。

### 1/5 — 反応しないし

*2026-07-30*

ヒントを押しても反応しないし、どこ触ってもだめ。進めないし画面暗すぎる

### 1/5 — ?

*2026-07-27*

謎解き自体は面白い
でも、？（ヒント？）をタップしても内容はすぐ消えるし、それも1回だけ
もう一度タップしても反応がないのでヒントの意味がないと思う
手がかりノートに記載されるのかと思ったけどそれもない
どこかにあるの？
私の謎解き能力不足で詰んでしまった

### 1/5 — テストプレイが不十分

*2026-07-26*

一見キレイに見える室内はAlの一枚絵なので変化が乏しい。
その為に説明文が必要なのでしょうが、見たい場所と説明文には、かけ離れた論理的矛盾があり過ぎて意味不明。
