When I first started playing, I honestly thought "How did such a trash game that looks like it was made in 2003 get badged?". Then I played it, and it has one of the best variety of puzzles and genuinely engaging challenges I've seen in an escape the room game in years. Hope to see more games from this dev in the future!

For those having trouble on finding the last numbers for the passcode, is there something in that room that could have more than one thing on it?

graphics and riddles sound cool, when when close-up zoom to interactive spots it would be even more awesome to see them staying saved as visual, when not zooming to them either (e.g. referring to those book-case and the screens in-game, but also to the mailing-device, etc.), while the attached usb-parts in the first room, seem to stay connected in this way? the last task somehow puts those fitting devices in the right socket there, even if I choose/click a different spot.

Really cool game! Just make sure you inspect the items (such as coffee) by clicking on the magnifying glass!
Very well made!

Very well implemented game!
The experience was very good, I didn't have any trouble at all interacting with the everything.
I did feel like the game was way too easy, though.
IMO what makes an escape game great is the right balance between challenge and fairness.
This game felt like it was going for a "relaxing" vibe, with straightforward steps that you just need to follow, which kinda misses the point of the genre.
Each puzzle is too self contained, and every time you find some piece of information, you instantly know how and where to use it.
This made me lose a lot of interest as I was progressing, since it wasn't fun/rewarding.
If you plan on doing a sequel, or another escape game even (which you definitely should), I think you could improve on that front.
Make it more challenging (again, challenging is not the same as unfairly difficult), less linear, and reward the player for figuring out puzzles that are relevant for a longer duration.
Thanks for making this!

You could actually turn this into a real life escape room. It would be pretty cool to do and probably wouldn't cost too much. Especially if you can do all the programming.

Satisfying, but not very difficult. It seemed like there was a conscious design choice to be "realistic", in that all of the puzzles could be actually implemented in real life. I thought that was interesting but it also made it feel a bit mundane.

nice, great escape room. wasn't overly complicated like others. i didn't need to use a walkthrough for this one. just needed to take time to put together the pieces. definitely fun

I enjoyed this game so much, a couple of weeks after escaping I decided to do it again. It was honestly just as fun, even though I remembered a lot of the clues. Now I have to do it a third time for the badge... fine. The game is still worth it. Hope to see more from you. You set the bar pretty high.

Click the lens to examine/use an object (I was stuck before discovering that), please + to avoid people getting stuck in an otherwise wonderful game

This game should be straight forward and tell you that each puzzle has no solution unless you've "found" the whole solution, guessing is not allowed. On multiple puzzles I tried to guess the solution for some time only to find they seemed to have no solution. The only ones guessing a solution works for are ones you've seen the solution to but just didn't realize it or understand it.
I played back through the game to confirm this and yes, if you know a puzzle's solution and enter it, but haven't found all the clues yet, then the right solution is considered incorrect. If the game told me guessing would not work even if correct, I'd likely not have wasted so much time trying.

Nice little (and well designed) throwback escape game. Very logical all the way through. The only thing that threw me for a bit was an element I thought was an un-interactive clue that was actually an interface you could interact with. (A-B-C-D)

I actually really enjoyed this game! The puzzles weren't overly hard and I was able to figure them out after some thinking. Keep up the good work!

Very fun and logical game. Just enough thinking to make me swear once. Not enough to make my blonde hurt lol. Very nice job. 5/5
