This was my first proper horror themed room, and so I don't feel like I can do a very comprehensive fair review of the horror elements, but I can certainly review it as an escape room nurd.
It is clear this room has had more thought put into the scariness than it has the puzzles. if the lights were on and the were wasn't constant tension from the jumpscares, this would be a very plain simple room, with puzzles that almost don't count as puzzles.
That said, we did not finish it, we walked out after 40 minutes. We realised this was not our thing at all, and really lacked the elements I like in escape rooms. To me this was more a horror walk through experience with puzzles in each room to slow you down a bit.
If you like horror, then you may very well love it.
Just beware, there is one type of 'theatrical element' jump scare they made repeated use of that they did not mention in the waver or online and I really feel they should have. The first time this happened, I politely asked the jumpscare not to do this again, and it did, so I told it to F**k off and not to do it again, but it did it again, and I kinda feel if you have politely then firmly been asked not to do that, then you kinda should stop doing it.
Again very clear to me that this kind of room is not for me, but if you are into the jump-scare thing then you may well love it.
