Solide, aber nichts Besonderes.
Mitten in Wien wurden doch tatsächlich bei seismischen Messungen alarmierende Beobachtungen gemacht: Die Gefahr eines Bomben-Blindgängers aus dem zweiten Weltkrieg ist gegeben. Es bestand der Verdacht, dass das vielleicht nicht der wahre Grund für das Ergebnis der Messungen war. Also schickte uns der Operator zur Erstinspektion in das Gebiet des mutmaßlich nicht detonierten Sprengkörpers. Hier steckte dann jedoch deutlich mehr dahinter als wir alle gedacht hatten. Wir waren uns über die Wichtigkeit unserer Mission sehr bewusst.
Gemeinsam verschafften wir uns Zutritt, sprengten uns den Weg frei, kombinierten und kamen dem Geheimnis immer mehr auf die Spur. Mit guter Kommunikation und Teamgeist kamen wir gut voran. Je tiefer wir eindrangen, desto mehr wurde uns klar, dass hier definitiv was anderes als eine nicht detonierte Bombe dahintersteckte. Uns beschlich ein ungutes Gefühl. Dieses sollte sich dann am Ende tatsächlich bestätigen. Unglaublich was wir da entdeckten!
Dieser Raum hat uns unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht! Die Vorfreude war groß, denn er war ja schließlich des Öfteren in den Top 100 von Terpeca. Und das zu recht! Hier passt alles zusammen. Die Story ist schlüssig, die Rätsel sind absolut thematisch und man vergisst die Realität um einen herum.
Wenn ihr wissen wollt, wie die Story endet und was wir entdeckt haben, dann kann ich euch den Raum absolut empfehlen! Findet es heraus! 😊
What a fantastic venue. The attention to detail made this game one of the most immersive I have ever done! I would have preferred to play it in a team of 3 so I wouldn't have missed any of the puzzles, but there was no shortage of stuff for us all to do. Some amazing aha moments, and they use the space incredibly well. Cannot wait to see what comes next. If you are in Vienna, at this to your list!
Enjoyable game with some good puzzles but a bit of an abrupt ending.
We really enjoyed this one, although it did run quite long at around 90 minutes. It could be done in two parts, there is so much to it. We enjoyed their previous game and this one has been done even better. You do have to explore a very large space with lots of areas, so there is a lot of navigating top be done, but the puzzles and story were both satisfying.
I really liked the ambient sounds and sound effects.
Would recommend.
This was a nice game, we enjoyed it. It is quite easy, although we did find it difficult to locate click-points at times.
Overall this game was average, I would recommend no more than 2 people doing it due to the mechanics if one person opened a clue or observed an item, it opened on everyone's screen. Same with inputting information, making it linear in most parts. I think this game works best when one person sharing it and others play by watching, rather than sending out the codes. Game length, I felt finished a bit shorter than what I would have liked to. The puzzles were easy to do and not very challenging.
One of the earlier online adaptations, this one is somewhat clunky in retrospect. Playing with two players was difficult - at the time, at least, one person clicking would advance both people. Probably a much smoother experience with just one person playing.
Plays like a cross between an escape room and a point-and-click adventure videogame, yet somehow fails to capture the delight of either. Playing online via a webbrowser means your team all share the same synchronised view of the game and you can see where your teammates are clicking, but there's a delay in the response to every input making the game feels slow and laggy. Combined with the pre-rendered, static graphics leads to the feeling of playing a "Myst"-clone from the 1990s, yet without the charm or innovation.
The puzzle content itself is solid enough, but rather predictable - several "count the objects" puzzles, some ciphers etc. and the story is fine, but not really engaging.
So while the game is perfectly functional - we encountered no game-breaking bugs or mistakes - it simply failed to excite or delight.
We played this in multi-player mode and it worked really well. A classic point and click adventure with escape room-esque puzzles. Great value for money.
