강력추천

### 5/5 — A unique twist on the escape room genre

*2025-11-25, version 1.3.5*

This short game is free and with unobtrusive ads with useful hints as you need them. The way the panels function as rooms and work together was playfully unexpected and makes for a fun but challenging experiences that is further elevated but its novelty. A fantastic game and a joy to play!

### 5/5 — 好玩有难度

### 5/5 — 진짜 ㅈㄴ 잘 만듦

*2025-08-11*

이렇게까지 정성 들이기 쉽지 않은데 푸는 내내 재밌었음 오? 이런 시각이? 오? 설마? 하는 기분이 계속 듬 흔한 방탈출처럼 그냥 그림 외우고 숫자 외워서 나가는게 아니라 찐으로 머리 써야 하는 게임인데 ㅈㄴ 신박해서 재밌었음 개큰강추

### 5/5 — 开发者的这一系列游戏都好好玩！

做得超级棒！

### 5/5 — Best of the best!

*2025-06-02*

This is one of the hardest and most satisfying Escape Room games I have ever played. Nobody makes room escape games like these guys. They are the best.

### 5/5 — Escape

*2025-05-19, version 1.3.5*

Keeps you on your toes ,very enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Stinkin Awesome Room

*2025-05-11*

The creators of this escape game are geniuses! I really enjoyed this game, probably more than any other app escape room I’ve done! This app needs to be way more popular! The games and clues are so clever, so creative…I’m just mindblown. The extra room you get at the end is twice the fun too!

### 5/5 — 好玩呀 美漫风格 太有趣了

*2025-04-28*

mani目前的“三部曲” pixel、replay和这部panel 每一部都把其主题贯彻到了极致 从美术、页面设计到一二周目的游戏机制 每一处都很用心 真的很期待下一部会是什么主题的 再来说说这部 角度新奇别致 谜题难度一周目中等 二周目中等偏上（连卡两关 疯了） 以下剧透兼二周目不完全攻略 未玩慎入 
二周目第一次卡是没想到海报旁边的小槽可以用手电筒照 第二次是没想到气球可以二次利用被剪刀戳破 真的 谜题本身不难 但当时钻进牛角尖里了根本就走不出来

### 5/5 — Excellent Game

*2025-03-31*

A challenging, but totally fair escape room.  There was one time when I was especially tempted to get a hint, but was able figure things out without getting help. Definitely requires some outside the box thinking.  I love that there’s a second version of the room after beating the first! I recommend this to anyone who likes a well crafted, innovative escape room.

### 5/5 — 名作です

*2025-03-24*

数多の脱出ゲームをやってきましたが、アイデアが凄すぎてワクワクが止まらなかった。
漫画パートが終わってからのEXステージがおまけじゃなくてEXを含めての作品です。楽しめました、しかも無料でリリースいただき作者の方には感謝しかありません。ありがとうございました！

### 5/5 — Creative and challenging

*2025-03-11, version 1.3.5*

An amazing take on the room escape genre. I would strongly recommend even the most seasoned player to give this a go. The extra stage was a sweet treat.

### 5/5 — Tough but so clever

*2025-03-01, version 1.3.5*

Really enjoyed this very challenging puzzle game. It’s very clever but I needed a walkthrough to get past some of them. Also a neat concept with an ‘Extra’ on finishing that’s possibly longer than the main game!

### 4/5 — only one bug

*2025-02-19*

i was able to do everything really well and it was a lot of fun, but the last puzzle box just wasn’t working. after i got one try wrong, it wouldn’t let me put in any new attempts, even if i reset the box. i ended up having to go back to the homescreen and reload my save just to get it working again (and i could tell something was buggy, because the box would finally show me my successful attempts after i reloaded), which is a pretty simple fix but it took awhile to figure out since i just assumed i was doing the puzzle wrong. either way, it was a lot of fun and i’ve been playing all of these games (and loving it)!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — "Puzzles" makes no sense

*2024-08-10, version 1.2.0*

The puzzles if you can call them that make no sense. This is one of those click everything to see what happens type of games not really a use your brain kind of game.

### 1/5 — Locked

*2023-12-27, version 1.1.1*

Gone back into comic book and pressed erase now can’t get back into other room to finish game and unlock box

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t allow “do not track”

*2023-09-10, version 1.1.1*

Didn’t e even get to play..couldn’t get past the tracking question.

### 1/5 — 不好玩

*2023-07-15*

太不灵敏了，手电筒和遥控器电池一直按不上，一直出错，导致我的游戏体验很差

### 1/5 — 👎

*2023-07-07, version 1.0.7*

8 minutes into playing it, i watched an ad and it crashed, i open the app again and it shows another ad which makes it crash again and it happened 2 times after that

### 1/5 — Sketchy

*2023-06-15, version 1.0.7*

One star for sketchy ads that play for hints that don’t help. Then to get further useless hints you must play another ad which crashes the game just so you can reopen it and have to start at the first useless hint again. Do not play.

### 2/5 — Ads are obnoxious

*2025-07-27, version 1.3.5*

and the hint system can tell you to do something that is not yet possible to do, which is frustrating

### 2/5 — One of the portions of the game were blank

*2023-07-27, version 1.0.7*

This game is really fun for the most part, I unlocked the next slide but got stuck with the number lock on the draw so I watched an ad to get a hint. Once I got the hint most of that part of the game turned black so I could only see one number. I restarted the game and removed my data, even deleted the game and redownloaded but it didn’t help. It’s very unfortunate as it was a good game.

### 2/5 — A few puzzles just don’t make sense.

*2023-07-13, version 1.0.7*

Love the style. Love the idea, but a few of the puzzles just don’t work the way they should.

For example, the puzzle where you put the piece of paper you found under the pillow into the notebook then put in the right numbers and solve the equation. I believe the formula said: Brown square = teal Square x Blue Square + pink square. However I put in the answer and it was wrong.

It got to the point where I had to look it up because I even tried to solve the equation in the wrong way, and that still didn’t work.

Turns out, the pink square had nothing to do with the answer. It was just teal square times blue square.

Now I’m stuck because I received a code from the television that I put in forwards and backwards, and it’s not giving me anything. The website that told me about the equation says to put in the code the tv gives backwards.

I don’t know if I’m missing something, but this is getting beyond puzzling just to frustrating.

### 3/5 — 間違い

*2024-10-19*

矢印の箱、3の答えが間違っている

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — 挺好

*2026-08-13*

解谜游戏也玩不少了 这个挺有意思很有新意

### 5/5 — Very unique

*2026-08-06*

This developer makes the best escape games. Always interesting, no bugs, the mechanics always work, including the hints/answers when you need them. More than reasonable ads for the trade off. I’ve downloaded all their games. 

This one in particular is a visual format I’ve never seen before.

### 5/5 — Extremely creative and tough

*2026-07-16*

The main highlight of this game is not the main puzzle part, but it’s actually the extra puzzle that’s unlocked after we finish the puzzle. 
There’s some really interesting mechanics in the game, like limited perspectives, due to being in a comic panel. And when you enter the extra puzzle, you’d think the mechanics would be the same but they actually introduce new and different kinds.
It’s extremely engaging and stimulating, and I did have to use a couple hints to get by, but it was a wonderful experience in the end.
I’d recommend playing this creators other games too. :)

### 5/5 — すごく楽しかったです

*2026-06-23*

いつも素晴らしい作品をありがとうございます。
相変わらず、他にはないセンス。流石コトリノスさんの脱出です。
終わるの勿体無かったけど、世界が広がることにワクワクして、つい一気に遊んでしまいました。大満足です。

### 5/5 — Proper game!

*2026-03-27*

Well thought out and executed! Type of game that makes me want to buy it after the fact just to say thank you!

### 5/5 — Great escape game

*2026-03-09, version 1.3.5*

All games from this author, Mani, feature very interesting mechanics which I greatly enjoyed.

### 5/5 — Really clever!

*2026-02-03, version 1.3.5*

I very much enjoyed solving this and only needed two hints. The ads were mostly unobtrusive. Great job!

### 5/5 — Most Satisfying Escape Game

*2026-01-02*

Would rate 6/5 if possible. Extremely creative! Challenging but logical, humorous at parts, enjoyable game with family or by yourself. A lot of outside the box puzzles. Recommending downloading. Please keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — IT JUST KEPT GOING!

*2025-12-17, version 1.3.5*

I love this game because instead of beating the first one and being done, in this game you escape the comic book THEN YOU COLLECT PAGE PIECES THEN GO BACK INTO THE COMIC BOOK TO GET HINTS TO ESCAPE YOUR OWN ROOM! IT’S SO SMART

### 5/5 — Incredible Talent

*2025-12-14, version 1.3.5*

Amazing game!
