played it with the girl I really liked, but we couldnt finish it. Now it only reminds me of her and have to hide it in my library. decent escape room game though..
Excellent main attraction, a bit meh in some of the bonus stuff. The meat of the game are the escape rooms - and the game is well worth the money for that. You get 3 themes with 4 rooms each plus currently 2 additional rooms that got released post release. Some of the rooms are stellar, some are just servicable, but there's no terrible one. The Vampire and Pirate Rooms are great. Some of the best I've ever seen. Space makes great use of it's theme in room 2, but is overall not as good as the other ones. All the puzzles are on the fun side. Not too difficult, but they almost never step into annoying territory. On top of that you get multiplayer and a level editor. Now for the not so great stuff. Your player models will never look as cute or attractive as the cover art - there aren't even beards, but that hardly matters in Singleplayer. Then there are tokens to collect, which are jigsaw puzzle pieces you have to find and click on - and that is where the game leaves it's otherwise stellar clarity and becomes a test of your eyesight. Even if you have the right idea where to find them, you often miss them anyway. Dunno how to feel about those. One part of me says it has to be that way and the other says that it doesn't feel quite right. Anyway, these ultimatiely lead to a long boring unfair puzzle that doesn't feel challanging - just unfair, annoying and tedious - even if you read the walkthrough. So, with all the not-so-great stuff being optional and the game offering good value otherwise, this is a total recommendation.
still very fun with friends. Enjoyed the art direction from the first game more though
