There are some interesting puzzles here. I like the minecraft-sytle graphics. There are 2 main problems with this game. The first problem with this game is the inconsistent room states. If you move and object, open a drawer, turn on the tv, or move the dominos - they reset to their original position when you re-visit that room. It doesn’t matter if it was part of a puzzle, or not. Yet, the picture in the hallway (for example) slides off one side and hangs, but does not move anymore, and does not reset. The second problem is the fake ads for other games. It’s just bad business. The ads falsely show other gameplay that does not exist. The other games are grossly misrepresented and misleading. Why would I download another game only to find it was falsely advertized by your game? Which begs the more important question: Why should I support your Nox game, if you falsely advertise? If you can’t control what ads are shown in your game, you are foolish. If you choose to continue to falsely advertize, you are not doing youselves or your customers any favors. I played a while and got tired of the same fake ads. I can’t support bad business practices.

But then the puzzles just started to get inconsistent and convoluted and I had to look up a walkthrough at one point. The story at the end doesn’t wrap up the game at all and it wasn’t very satisfying, to say the least. If it also weren’t for the “fast travel” that I had unlocked at one point in the game, this game would have gotten really old really fast because the perspective moving system throughout the rooms was confusing and disorienting. Your inventory shows up at the bottom of your screen, which is practically overlapping with the swipe bar to your home screen, so sometimes I would find myself exiting the game without meaning to. I honestly don’t understand the high reviews and it raises suspicion. [SPOILER ALERT] You figure out that basically you had a traumatic experience as a child and are thus suffering some sort of PTSD and/or are mentally incapacitated over it. I believe you’re talking to a therapist at the end, but it seems to end just how it started — “in darkness”, so I guess you (the player) are just continuously trapped in your own mind forever? But what about dad’s laboratory and his secret surveillance room? The parents just left the child and literally forgot about him? Did they die?

I work at an escape room, so I was really excited when I saw this app. However, the game is nothing like an actual escape game. There’s not much puzzle solving, it’s mostly just picking things up and putting them down somewhere else in the game. Some of the few puzzles that they do have didn’t make any sense even with hints. The end is really confusing and doesn’t seem to wrap up the story, in my opinion. (Spoiler alert) The way I interpreted the end was that the dad was abusing the mom and the kid (which is you) and then you had to hide from him and the parents disappeared and never found you. To me, I think that could be kind of PTSD-inducing for anyone who has experienced childhood trauma or domestic abuse. Overall, the graphics were cool and some of the puzzles were interesting, but it’s nothing like an actual escape game, the ending isn’t very clear, and I’m concerned that survivors of abuse and trauma would take serious issue with this game. I’d highly recommend that the developers add some sort of warning and also clarify that the game is kinda creepy (I played this in the dark without knowing that it wasn’t gonna be very lighthearted).
