Great game. They use discord solution and the livestream was full hd with no Lag. The sound was good and the actor excellent with a perfect english accent. Everybody found something to do to help Morgan to escape. The inventory system is unique, I never saw it before and it’s efficient and smart. I really recommand it.

The major issue with this room was the Discord, I had to refresh the screen at least once every two minutes and missed alot of the search (and theres alot of searching!) and alot of solving.

An interesting story hook, and some interesting puzzles, and a good host -- but some of the puzzles had a bit too much chaff (that's puzzler slang for "information you gather but end up not using").  Also, this is one of the few play-at-home games that uses Discord, which is not as ideal for this sort of thing (one problem, for example, is that you can't use the same account to stream on multiple machines, so when I wanted to listen on one computer and watch on another, this wasn't possible.
