Crime Runners: Back To The Congressman

Enjoyable game with some good puzzles but a bit of an abrupt ending.

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.

For an online escape room, I have high expectations having done over 150 real escape rooms.  This was a great experience, my partner and I loved the game, it had the genuine feel of an escape room and very reasonably priced.  Would highly recommend

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.

It is a great online game. Loved the story and riddles. Please make more!

So far amongst the best online games I've played during lockdown! 

What a wonderful game! Atmospheric, beautiful and fun. It's my favorite of all of the 'online escape rooms' that I've played. Two of us played together from within the same room and found the game just challenging enough to be engaging without being frustrating. I thoroughly recommend it!
