Very well done!  Communication is super important, as each player is logged in to their own game link- so you have to help each other along and stay together through the game.  Puzzles were medium difficulty, but all clever and logical.  Lots of cool technical features, like 3d models.  Great story-line which was consistent and strong throughout the game.  We really enjoyed it, 3 smiley faces!

I was going to give this only 2.5 stars (I played it with egnor, and it was actually my computer that got hit with the tech issues) but the big saving grace here is that because there's no live host, you can PLAY IT AGAIN afterwards to explore the easter eggs you missed.  I found that as a no-pressure casual one-person experience it was a lot more comfortable than making my friends wait for me because of my tech issues.

(If you care, make sure that when running Chrome you have hardware acceleration on so that 3D works.  Some puzzles will be impossible to solve if you don't have actual in-browser 3D, and unfortunately the demo game doesn't test this for you.)

A decent room, amusing even (not fancy but a cute story), recreated with somewhat too much fidelity for my taste, and suffering in our play from frustrating tech issues with slowness and occasional freezing. Note that some other people had significantly better experiences so your mileage may vary.

Reviews by escape room review sites

I loved this game, so much so that I played it twice. If you’re looking for a digital game that has subtle humour, a strong story, and great puzzles, then this is the game for you.

So I recommend this one for “People in lockdown missing escape rooms” because it’s actually the closest experience to an escape room I’ve had in lockdown so far? No seriously! It’s… Exactly what you’d expect from an escape room. I almost regret doing this as a solo player rather than calling round to my regular team, but we live and learn!
