Reviews for Escape: The Room

[eyedunno1]

Great game, but has bugs and poorly-thought bits

Overall, this is a decent locked room game. The movement controls are easier to use than Crimson Room, and the movement is smooth as well. The music is not up to the standards of Crimson Room and Veridian Room, but it's passable. It is a bit on the easy side though.

Other reviewers on here are getting after this game for the "Play" bug. Well, I won't, because that's cheating anyway.

I do have two criticisms to make, and one is concerning the major gimmick of the game:

1) Wingdings is a copyright of Microsoft. Thus average Mac and Linux users don't have it (not to mention the fact that many MS users delete it, and it apparently won't be included in Longhorn), and this puzzle wasn't very considerate of that. I guess it was a pretty good idea though, and a websearch for Wingdings is possible, probably.

2) After getting the false key and closing the box, I was unable to open it again to get the axe. Can anybody else confirm this? Is it a bug?

Why?

Great game, but 1 question, in the end why did the door just fall over when it was hit by an axe rather than break into pieces?

Good

Good game, The false lid on the chest was abit dumb and the 3rd key was useless but all in all good game.

Average

It was a fairly good game, but it seems awefully similar to a series of games made a while back (crimson room & viridian room), which im afraid were slightly more puzzling and intense than this
