Constant multiplayer issues. It will kick out one player and say that we have the wrong version after having played for a couple of hours. We had to start the section over and lost all inventory. Great game other than that.
Great game with awesome visual effects and challenging puzzles. If playing on a laptop or non-gaming hardware, you might need to tweak the graphics settings to avoid hanging.
The feel of an in-person escape room for a fraction of the price! Fun, runs on my gaming laptop, and the player-made rooms are often very fun too. I would suggest pacing yourself - I have a habit of burning through puzzle games, even while alone, despite the multiplayer aspect. I appreciate the attention to detail the team has put in throughout the puzzles, a mix of decals that could be hints or just graffiti (but if you're playing on a lower quality, the hints will be more obvious). My biggest issue has been my laptop's heat and lack of FPS adjustment even with my secondary fans, but I was able to force it down by 10 frames by adding the game to my NVIDIA app, and that helped a lot. I assume once I get a new external fan that this issue will be reduced as well. If you love puzzle games and/or you've ever played "The Room" (Fireproof studios), I think you will enjoy this as much as I do.
