A quite sophisticated interface with really authentic graphics. I agree with the reviewer who said it felt a bit short. There was also one very frustrating puzzle that I feel like I still don't totally understand. I did really like the 3 tier hint system, though--nice to get a small nudge without giving too much away. Eminently playable by a solo player.
The experience is fun, but feels a bit too short. The immersion is pretty good for what it does.
Don't miss this out! Not only especially well crafted, this games suceeds with it's brilliant video and art design, detailed references and hilarious jokes. I am simply blown away what a charming game it was. You can clearly see that MARVO are the kind of creators who are really putting an effort and passion into their games. Highly recommended!
Reviews by escape room review sites
The new breed of online digital escape games mostly fall into well defined types - most often webpage-based puzzles, some ARG (alternative reality game) style involving social media pages or Google Streetview, some point-and-click, some a hybrid of those. What Marvo have come up with doesn't really fit into any of those categories. I suppose point-and-click is closest, with some additional ARG elements, though that description is as misleading as it is useful. And what's worse is that for spoile...
Its very difficult to write a hugely substantial review on this game without giving away too many spoilers - its simply too good to ruin so my lips are sealed on its content!
All I can say in summary is, do yourself and favour and play this game. It truly is something to behold. From the effects, the on screen interaction, the video content, the puzzles and clue system, the subtle humour, it really isn't one to miss!
