### 3/5 — いつも

*2026-08-20*

ヒントが悪い。答えを見ずにヒントで解きたいのに、ヒントはいつも当たり前に分かってることしか言ってくれない。広告は喜んでみますから、ヒントの質をあげてほしい。

### 5/5 — 地球を救えてよかった〜

ノーヒントでとけたよ
やりごたえがあっておもしろかった！

### 5/5 — 面白い秀逸な作品でした🐭

*2024-12-16*

本が沢山有るお屋敷にしては会員制の様でもあるし、暖炉がある部屋のテーブルにシャンパンを注ぎ謎解きを始めましたが難し過ぎないので楽しく進められました。
ここまで１つ気になっている手掛かりが有るのに短時間の脱出かと思いきや開けたドアの前には大きなネズミ🐭の銅像が有り、銅像を前に笑えてしまう謎解きの場面作りは流石でした。

ここから第二ステージの始まりですが雰囲気とギミックの内容の違いに研究所の壮大な力に驚かされることになりました。
しかし途中に出てきた🐭神経衰弱は詰まりかけていた気持ちを柔らげくれましたしギリシャ文字を使ったりアイディアに富んギミックは楽しく、最後の場面は
音や角度に迫力を感じて自分が携わっただけに感動しました。

最高のグラフィックで面白かったです。
有り難うございました。

### 5/5 — 疲れるくらい

地球救えなかったーーー
ちゃんとプロトコルに従わないとですね。
ゲームでよかったー
謎も一捻りしていて、手応えがあります。
みんなで地球を救おう！

### 5/5 — 스튜디오 와카바 시리즈 다 재밌네요

*2024-03-03*

이번편은 너의 이름은을 오마쥬한 것 같아요
또 나오면 좋겠어요!

### 1/5 — 広告が邪魔

*2024-02-16*

上下にある広告がやたら動くやつばっかりで目に邪魔で辛かった

### 5/5 — とっても楽しく脱出
