Norcal Escape: Condemned 2

A really immersive experience.  I'm not sure if this really is an abandoned warehouse, or just a brilliantly designed set, but certainly one of the more authentic-feeling online experiences.  We were really sorry to hear that they are shutting down the online game, but it's understandable in light of the resources they were bringing to bear.  Definitely one to try in person for anyone in the neighborhood when things open up again.

An excellent game which just the right amount of drama and theatre, enough to develop the narrative but not so much that you're willing it to finish so you can get back to the puzzles. The game is huge and has a wonderful design to it so you'll find yourself all turned around, just like you would if you were actually there. The game has converted will to being played as a virtual, with many of the more physical puzzles being adaprted rather than removed and the puzzles are varied, but all are logical and great signposting is in place (not too obvious).

The camera  work in this game is excellent too, with the camera being held by a non particpant in the game, giving you an 'over the shoulder' view with your friend Cody. This gives it much more of a movie feel and evokes the sense that you're there with Cody and part of his team.

If you do play it, and you escape, then ask the Norcal team nicely if you can see what would have happened if you had failed, its great to see both.
