This game will try your brain for sure. Great puzzles and games trying to determine how to escape!

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-17, version 1.1.5*

I really liked the game. Most of it was solving one room at a time.  I hate it when you have to go through a dozen rooms and you have to find things throughout all the rooms.  This one you mostly solved one room at a time.  The only complaint I have were some of the puzzles.  Some of them should’ve had some kind of explanation on how to solve them.  And there was two or three that were almost impossible to solve. But other than that, I really enjoyed it.

### 5/5 — Game good

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel

Aber es ist schade, dass man die gefundenen Gegenstände nicht vergrößern kann. Ich kann manchmal nicht erkennen um was es sich handelt. Und das macht es schwierig.
