Играется очень неприятно. Управление не всегда отзывчивое. Визуально напрягает из-за плохо проработанного освещения: регулярно то слишком темно, то слишком засвечено - в обоих случаях сложно разобрать что перед тобой и с чем ты взаимодействуешь. Несмотря на то, что игра короткая, она всё равно умудряется иногда создать ощущение медлительности. Сюжет тут считай ни о чём. Паззлы варьируются от довольно лёгких до напрягающих в физическом плане: кого-то в отзывах напрягла музыкальная шкатулка, меня напряг паззл с вращением "странного объекта" (из-за визуальных аспектов и управления). Достижения подглючивают, а также не любят прохождение не в один заход, иначе они сбиваются (по крайней мере некоторые). Также есть одно достижение по сути на удачу, которое легко запарывается простым невезением.

Надеялся на неплохой квест, но эта игра только удручает. Похвалить в целом ничего не могу. Как лёгкую игру в список идеальных тоже не рекомендую - не сложно, но неприятно и скучно.

if you want to kill 3 hours, Id recommend this on sale. First person puzzle built like an escape room but seems more like a lab testing a mouse... There are 5 rooms and a dream world, each with their own items & tasks. The end is an interesting direction but lackluster.

Definitely has bugs, screen flickers, miscalculating item count for achievements, long black screens, & other stutters that require you to click out of the game or restart all together.

The puzzels are interesting overall, but there are two design issues that really hurt the experience. One puzzle relies entirely on sound with no visual cues, which makes it extremely diffiicult or impossible for deaf or hard-of-hearing players without outside help. There's also an achievement tied to getting through a randomized maze on the first try. Because the solution rerolls every reset, the only realistic strategy is restarting repeatedly until you get lucky. That turns what should be puzzle-solving into RNG grinding. Some guides suggest using the first bend in the labyrinth to determine which oor to take, but this didn't work consistently for me. I ended up having to reset repeatedly and eventually got through mostly by luck. If the maze is going to be randomized, it would help if the first bend in the labyrinth reliably matched the correct door in the final room. That would keep the puzzle solvable through observation instead of forcing players to rely on repeated resets and RNG. Despite these criticisms, I still enjoyed my overall experience with the game and many of the puzzles were interesting to work through.

The Guest, developed by Team Gotham and published by 505 Games, is a first-person puzzle adventure that builds its identity around isolation, mystery, and slow-burning psychological tension. Set almost entirely within the confines of a decrepit hotel, the game places players in the role of Dr. Evgueni Leonov, a scientist who awakens trapped in a locked room with no immediate explanation. The premise is simple but effective, creating a sense of claustrophobia from the outset and encouraging players to search every corner of their environment for clues about their situation.

The strongest element of The Guest is its atmosphere. The abandoned hotel feels oppressive and forgotten, with dim lighting, muted color palettes, and environmental detail that hints at a past life now decayed. The sound design plays a critical role in reinforcing this mood. Subtle ambient noises, creaking structures, and distant echoes enhance the tension without resorting to overt horror tropes. While the game is not a traditional horror experience filled with jump scares, it cultivates unease through quiet moments and unanswered questions. This emphasis on tone makes exploration feel purposeful and immersive rather than simply mechanical.

Gameplay centers entirely on puzzle-solving and environmental interaction. There is no combat, no stealth mechanics, and no fast-paced action. Instead, players methodically examine objects, combine inventory items, and decipher clues embedded in documents and surroundings. The puzzles range from straightforward logic challenges to more intricate riddles that require careful observation and patience. Many of these tasks are integrated naturally into the setting, such as repairing devices, unlocking coded mechanisms, or interpreting scientific notes. The design encourages deliberate thinking rather than guesswork, rewarding players who pay close attention to their surroundings.

Narratively, The Guest unfolds through environmental storytelling and scattered documents rather than cinematic cutscenes or extensive dialogue. This fragmented approach aligns well with the mystery-driven structure, allowing players to piece together fragments of information about the protagonist’s past and the circumstances leading to his confinement. The gradual unveiling of secrets blends psychological and science fiction elements, though the pacing can feel uneven. Early intrigue is strong, but as the story progresses, some players may find that the narrative resolution does not fully capitalize on the suspense established in the opening hours. Certain plot threads remain ambiguous, which can either be interpreted as thought-provoking or unsatisfying depending on player expectations.

The confined setting is both a strength and a limitation. Concentrating the majority of gameplay within a limited number of interconnected rooms heightens the claustrophobic tone and ensures that every object feels potentially significant. However, over time, the restricted environment can begin to feel repetitive, particularly during moments when players revisit previously explored spaces searching for overlooked clues. The deliberate pacing amplifies this effect, making patience a key requirement for enjoying the experience fully.

Visually, the game adopts a realistic but understated presentation. The graphics do not aim for cutting-edge fidelity, yet the attention to detail in textures, lighting, and environmental composition effectively supports the atmosphere. The hotel’s worn furniture, peeling wallpaper, and scattered belongings contribute to the sense of abandonment. Small touches, such as flickering lights or reflections in dusty mirrors, add subtle depth to the environment. While the game’s scale is modest, its visual consistency helps sustain immersion.

The overall playtime is relatively concise, typically lasting a few hours depending on puzzle-solving speed. This compact structure prevents the experience from overstaying its welcome, though some players may wish for additional content or expanded exploration beyond the central setting. Replay value is limited once puzzles have been solved, as the primary appeal lies in discovery and narrative progression rather than branching paths or alternate outcomes.

Technically, The Guest performs reliably on modern systems, with intuitive first-person controls and a straightforward interface. The lack of complex mechanics ensures accessibility, allowing players to focus entirely on unraveling the mystery. Steam integration features such as achievements complement the experience but do not significantly alter gameplay.

Ultimately, The Guest succeeds as a moody, introspective puzzle adventure that prioritizes atmosphere and cerebral engagement over spectacle. Its strength lies in its carefully constructed tension, environmental storytelling, and methodical puzzle design. While the confined setting and somewhat restrained narrative payoff may not satisfy every player, those who appreciate slow-paced exploration and psychological intrigue will find it a compelling and thoughtfully designed experience.

Итак, игра представляет собой " Бродилку- головоломку", если по Англ., то " Escape room".
Как и в других представителях жанра- ходишь, исследуешь окружение, "собираешь всё, что плохо лежит " для того, чтобы решить головоломку, которая открывает следующую комнату, в которой уже своя головоломка.
Ах да действие игры происходит в отеле из которого вам нужно выбраться.
По ходу прохождения вы будете собирать обрывки газет и записки о пропаже женщины, а также сведения о ГГ, судьба которых, очень похожа.
Загадки, в свою очередь, быают как простыми , так и весьма сложными.
Ноооооо..... тут я, пожалуй, переду к основному пиздецу, который заставил меня поставить игре минус- Это её техническое состояние.
Ранее я упомянул о сложности некоторых головоломок, так вот, их сложность проявляется в ....ПРОПАДАЮЩИХ БЛ ТЕКСТУРАХ
Да именно так, допустим, вам нужно решить визуальный пазл, но часть текстур у вас на объекте пропадает и дальше сиди и методом тыка подбирай а чё правильно.
Или при каждом заходе в игру начинается отдельный квест- ПОСТАВЬ СЕБЕ НОРМАЛЬНОЕ РАЗРЕШЕНИЕ В ИГРЕ, КОТОРОЕ ПОСТОЯННО БЛ СЛЕТАЕТ, И ЭТО ВСЁ НАДО ДЕЛАТЬ В СЛЕПУЮ, ПОТОМУ ЧТО У ТЕБЯ ЧАСТЬ ИЗОБРАЖЕНИЯ В УГЛУ ТУПО НА ВЕСЬ ЭКРАН РАСТЯГИВАЕТСЯ И ТЕБЕ НАДО В СЛЕПУЮ МЕТОДОМ ТЫКА НАЙТИ КНОПОЧКУ МЕНЯЮЩУЮ НАСТРОЙКИ, ОДНИМ СЛОВОМ, КАЕФФФ, это я молчу про спонтанные вылеты и периодически пропадающий звук.
Как итог, я не могу порекомендовать эту игру, ток на свой страх и риск, если вам повезёт и вы не получите всех этих проблем, то Welcome, она может заинтриговать.

A perfectly passable puzzle game.
- Puzzles are not intuitive, but not overtly horrible. If you have the time to commit to trial and error, then you may find the solutions without a guide.
-/+ The game has voice acting. Not good voice acting, but it's not awful, either. It is there.
-/+ There's definitely an attempt at story here. A neat idea without the execution to truly make it work.
+ The atmosphere of the game makes every other feature worth dealing with. The music sets a nice mood, the lighting keeps you just slightly on edge, and the set design is just really good.

Really good and challenging puzzles with great atmosphere and a nice story. This has very little horror elements so don't expect to be scared.

Not as good as The Room series, but definitely worth the price and getting all the achievements was pretty fun.

[h2]The Guest｜8.0/10｜Strong puzzle design carries a fairly ordinary story[/h2]

[h3]Quick Take[/h3]
[b]A short but satisfying puzzle game with clever room-escape design, a solid atmosphere, and a story that never becomes as memorable as its gameplay.[/b]

[h3]Puzzles[/h3]
This is easily the game’s strongest area. The puzzles feel thoughtful, well-structured, and rewarding to solve, with a good balance between observation, logic, and experimentation.

[h3]Atmosphere[/h3]
The hotel setting creates a tense, claustrophobic mood that fits the gameplay well. It does a nice job keeping the experience immersive.

[h3]Story[/h3]
The plot is serviceable, but not especially compelling. It sets up some intrigue, yet the narrative itself feels flatter than the puzzle design.

[h3]Overall[/h3]
If we are here mainly for puzzles, The Guest absolutely delivers. If we are looking for a story-driven mystery, it feels more average than exceptional.

[b]Score: 8.0/10[/b]
[b]One-line verdict: Great puzzles, good atmosphere, and a story that does its job without leaving much impact.[/b]

The puzzles were relatively good. The story they laid on top of it, though, was scuffed and confusing. Also the voice acting was immersion breaking. Though that was also part of the story. The juxtaposed plasticky Woah We're So Futuristic areas were also part of the story and immersion breaking.
like I dunno, 6/10?

I got this for free because it was a Christmas present.

The Guest is a first-person puzzle and mystery game where you wake up locked inside a strange hotel room and have to figure out how to escape. The story unfolds through environmental clues, notes, and puzzles, slowly revealing what’s really going on.

I liked the concept and the general vibe. The puzzles are solid, the mystery keeps you curious, and the confined setting works well for this kind of experience. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a neat, focused adventure that’s enjoyable if you like escape-room-style games and quiet, story-driven mysteries.

Игра похожа на деда с деменцией - сначала вполне дружелюбно давала ачивки за разгадывание секретов, на следующий день начал их зажимать как жадный гном и выдавать внезапно, когда я уже всё закрыл и ушел смотреть ютуб
Вообще загадки понравились, я тупил и смеялся, хорошая атмосфера мрачной гостиницы, всё время ждал, что из-за угла выпрыгнет какая-нить бешеная баб Маня с ведром и побьёт меня шваброй, но всё закончилось хорошо.

The Guest — это короткий, умный и слегка издевательский (загадка с мелодиями) квест, который заставляет почувствовать себя детективом, узником и жертвой дизайнеров головоломок одновременно. Отличный вариант для тех, кто любит «выйти из комнаты», но без возможности позвать администратора. Пройдено!

It is an okay puzzle escape room game. Some puzzles are good, and some are just too obtuse and annoying. The expectation that they have of the player to math out and or decode in certain puzzles is a bit too much. I played this game going through a backlog of games I got and then promptly never played, I now see why I left this alone for so long, it wasn't satisfying and kind of random.

L'intrigue était effectivement intrigante, au début. Mais j'ai trouvé que ça se cassait vite la figure pour atteindre l'apothéose à la fin... What... the... fork... En même temps, pour classer ce jeu PEGI 7 il faut avoir un sens moral assez douteux. Quel genre de personne considère qu'à 7 ans on peut jouer à un jeu classé horreur abordant les maladies mentales et les addictions, et décernant des récompenses pour la consommation de tabac et l'overdose de médicaments ?

Pour revenir au sujet, niveau gameplay j'ai eu des difficultés pour certains éléments à cause du manque de luminosité (j'ai ajusté plusieurs fois tout au long du jeu) et les énigmes étaient la plupart du temps soit beaucoup trop simples (mais quand même compliquées pour un enfant de 7 ans... Je ne comprends vraiment pas d'où vient ce PEGI 7...) soit exagérément compliquées par rapport au reste.

Avec un scenario tenant la route je pense que je me serais simplement abstenue de recommander ou non parce que le gameplay peut passer quand même.

P.S. : j'ai plus de 7 ans.

The ending was somewhat underwhelming for me personally. The look of the game is nice, the puzzles are solid and the music is too, but the overarching plot just was not there. I finished confused and unsatisfied, with several loose ends left that didn't make sense. If it was just an escape room game I would be satisfied, but with the expectation of a mystery built in... I found this lacking.

The game starts off with a great atmosphere, and you have no idea where the journey will take you. The bathroom, my favorite room, underscores the game's strong start. Unfortunately, when exploring the other rooms, I found everything to be too random, loveless, and sometimes pointless. The achievements in particular turn out to be a game of chance in several places. But all in all, it's a thoroughly playable title.

Neat little escape room puzzle game.

Good sound and visuals. Pretty decent for a game from 2016. The story was simple but did have an interesting twist at the end.

And the important part: the puzzles. They were great. A good veriety and not overly complicated. Although one did cost me quite some time to actually understand what I was supposed to do, but it was a fun one.

There's plenty of random stuff to pick up and investigate. I advise you to pick up everything you can find.

Short and sweet.
Really enjoyed this one.
It's a puzzle/mystery game though, not a horror.

I was enjoying this game right until the music box puzzle. This one makes the game pretty much unfinishable not only for people with hearing ussues, but for anyone who does not have a musical hearing. This is ridiculos!
The same day I decided to try another game, it also had a simular music puzzle, but, guess what, there was an option to see the notes! This is how you should always design puzzles like that.

Also, the game can suddenly stop working if you switch to another window and then back. You will not be able to do anything on your screen, not even use task manager to close the game. At some point it got so bad that the only thins I could do was to restart my pc completely.

At the beginning of my playthrough I wanted to give this game a positive review. Now I just want to be done with it and never look at it again.

Couldn't finish it due to bad design choices in the bathroom. I have the sound down to 0.1 and there's a constant loud, gurgling drain noise. Is it a sound prompt for something? Who knows because there's a constant, flickering light! There's 'atmospheric' and then there's 'so obnoxious that it makes the gameplay harder through overstimulation'. I've played plenty of games that use darkness intelligently - hell, even the bedroom had a lightbulb to find before we got to the Bathroom of Epilepsy-Triggering Aggravation. I don't even care about about the mystery anymore.

A nice little game, basically an adventure with more inclination to classic puzzle solving.

You awake in a hotel room with no context or information of who you are or what are you supposed to be doing. By finding items and documents you start to get an idea of what's going on, barely. There's a promise of a more intricate plot with lots of other threads that are open, references to things that never come. The game ends abruptly as if the devs ran out of budget or they just didn't want to answer more questions.

The core gameplay consists on finding a ton of items, deduce which ones are useful and which are just red herrings or flavour, and then either combine them or use them to solve some puzzle. There are also classic puzzles in the rooms like replicate a short melody (sorry tone deaf people), find a password to open a safe, etc.

There's a weird maze around half of the game, which is a nightmare for 100% achievement hunters because of RNG. But other than that, the game is ok.

It's a good recommendation if you liked games like "The Eyes of Ara", although not that long nor interesting.

É legal, mas tem algumas coisas que incomodam.
O jogo é praticamente um Room Escape com uma "história".
Tem dois puzzles ruins, o do banheiro e o do labirinto: Não é um labirinto, é um evento aleatório que pra piorar envolve uma conquista, é uma escolha entre duas 2 portas que passará 5 vezes totalmente aleatórias que você precisa chutar sem errar pra conquistar, porque vai reiniciar desde o começo se errar, se errar precisa reiniciar o jogo (essa probabilidade de acertar de primeira é 1/16, ou seja, 6,25%. Esses dois motivos fazem negativar o jogo.
Somado a interação lenta do personagem, também tem os controles que você não pode editar, e a tradução que não traduz os jornais e bilhetes, poderia deixar as revistas por causa do código, que é bem fácil. Também tem o rádio e a TV com barulhos chatos. O cara pega itens que não usa pra nada, é bem sem noção. A outra conquista OCULTA você precisa entrar no jogo depois de 8 horas pra tomar o remédio, se eu zerei tudo, vai ti tomá no cool de abrir o jogo só pra tomar um remédio.
Não é possível tirar o balanceamento de cabeça/movimento do personagem, pra quem tem cinetose. E o alt+tab é bem bugado.
Pra piorar o final não é empolgante e fica vago.
O gráfico e a trilha sonora são boas.
Na promoção de -90% compensa.
A nota é 5/10.

Não sei quem foi o doente mental que colocou a marcação de Terror, não tem absolutamente nada de terror.
É só um cara que toma remédio pra ansiedade/depressão e tem duas paranoias. Amytal (sedativo e hipnótico)

Wer absolut begeisterter Rätsler ist, wird in diesem Spiel seine wahre Freude finden. Ich hab es nach knapp einer Stunde abgebrochen. Es war eine einfache Aneinanderreihung von Rätseln mit wenig Atmosphäre. Eine Story soll sich natürlich aufbauen, aber wenn nach einer Stunde noch nichts passiert ist, dauert es mir zu lange. Pluspunkt: Man konnte sich wirklich alles ins Inventar stecken und musste auch verschiedene Dinge kombinieren, um weiter zu kommen. Horroraspekt bis dahin leider auch nicht vorhanden.

"This doesn't look like a hotel room, right?"

Escape game (ma non lo definirei horror) da 3/4 ore di gioco, con puzzle ed enigmi che a volte richiedono un po' più di tempo ma comunque risolvibili, e vari achievements nascosti. Breve ma carino, lo consiglio durante i saldi se apprezzate il genere.

Desde o início, fiquei preso nesse quarto de hotel estranho, sem entender direito o que estava acontecendo, e isso só aumentou minha curiosidade. A atmosfera é densa, cheia de detalhes que fazem o lugar parecer real, e os quebra-cabeças são bem construídos, exigindo atenção e lógica sem serem frustrantes. O jogo não entrega tudo de bandeja, então precisei explorar e interpretar pistas para entender a história, o que deixou tudo mais imersivo. O ritmo é mais lento, focado na ambientação e na sensação de mistério, mas isso combinou bem com a proposta. No fim, foi uma jornada que me prendeu do começo ao fim, com aquele gostinho de quero mais.

O jogo é uma delicinha, os puzzles são bem intuitivos, mas também não chegam a ser bobos. Trilha sonora gostosa e com uma história até que bem intrigante. Uma boa proposta para quem curte o estilo e também para aqueles que querem começar ✋🙂‍↕

通关了，有点无聊（玩到最后纯粹就是沉没成本，想着玩都玩了，就玩完吧...），有的地方会卡关，且B站只有一个攻略视频，这也是够神奇的，侧面证明这游戏是多么的“小众”。游戏流程不长，背景故事大概就是一个人被困在一个秘密组织严格监视的密室里，最后通关就是说成功加入他们的组织，em......剧情就是这么个剧情，但是打折几块钱，又能要求什么呢。anyway,这个游戏在win11系统上，如果中途切出去，会有电脑卡死的几率。

Die erste Hälfte ist richtig gut, wirklich atmosphärisch und überraschend spooky - danach zieht es sich für 1-2 Stündchen ein bisschen, aber war ein solider Steamdeck-Puzzle-Abend

Wirkt ein bisschen wie ein 2011 Indie Horror Banger der irgendwie 5 Jahre zu spät rauskam

The Guest is a very straightforward Cold War themed escape room game. And although it does some things very well my overall opinion is that it’s just an ok game. Story leaves a bit to be desired and puzzles are a mixed bag. My biggest gripe is that some puzzle solutions are randomized, so if you do get stuck on a puzzle you can’t really use a guide to help progress. There is also a puzzle where the solution is solved entirely by guessing, which is far from ideal for a puzzle game. You can often get The Guest at a low price point, but unless you love escape room titles I would skip this.

The Guest is a relatively short puzzle game, but it packs a lot of challenge into that time. Some puzzles were tougher than I initially expected, but the rhythm-based puzzle was absolute peak hell for me! That one really tested my patience. However, aside from that, the atmosphere of the game was fantastic, and the overall plot kept me engaged throughout. It’s a well-crafted experience, even if a bit frustrating at times. If you're up for a mix of clever puzzles and a strong narrative, it’s definitely worth a try.

Просто интересно, а зачем в настройках яркость можно убрать аж до 0.0 (во многих играх вроде 10 минимум), просто что бы Вы понимали это просто черный экран с точкой по центру. Наверное так играть вообще с кайфом. Вообще тут яркость надо выкручивать на полную + монитор свой , а то темно будет как в жо..
да и весь геймплей к сожалению сводится к тому что ты набираешь в свой инвентарь барахло, что бы потом думать что куда использовать и скомбинировать. Вообще скучно, без экшена!

So the game is mostly fine. But there are a few things that just irk me to much.
Shift tabbing can cause the game to lock, so you can't interact with anything.

There is an annoying puzzle that randomizes the start position of everything. It is linked to an achievement and if you want that one, better finish the puzzle within 20 turns or restart the game. As the achievement doesn't pop of reloads. Does reset the puzzle again into a new start position.

There is a guess the door puzzle where there is an achievement for doing it in one go, reloading resets it and the solution is random. There are no hints to help and you just need to be lucky.

You need to get into a dream sequence and each time I get there, the game bugs out. Needing a forced close to even continue.

It is not a bad game. If you just like to play games and can put them away after finishing the play through it will be a enjoyable game.
But I am not such a person.

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43083373/]Clever games curator review: 5/10[/url]. Puzzle game with a little logic and a lot of searching for "key" items to unlock "puzzles". Solving the puzzles never made me feel particularly clever, as usually they were pretty obvious, or I couldn't solve them because I didn't have the specific item I needed (which wasn't always obvious).

There's lots to like here, but in the end there's too much time spent wondering what to do next, which usually means you've missed some hard-to-see item. Do yourself a favor and turn up the brightness; you'll have less of this problem and the game will still be plenty dark.

I would have liked to reach the end of the story, it was fairly compelling.

Recommending, but only to people really into these kinds of games.

[h2] The Guest - симулятор росіянина на відпочинку [/h2] Гра про кацапського "професора", який приїхавши з волгограда до Бостону угасився пігулками (які продають тільки по рецепту) та загубився у готельному номері. Ваша задача - розібратись "хто ви є, і що тут сталось" послідовно вирішуючі безліч головоломок (логічних та не дуже), час від часу ловлячи наркоприходи від зловживання тими самими медикаментами. Під час гри персонаж топає по підлозі наче ходить на протезах, шариться по дуже темним углам (можно пофіксити) та тягне по карманах безліч предметів та готельного інвентаря - більшість якого ви візьмете просто "щоб було" бо під час гри воно не буде використовуватись... спочатку це може здивувати, але потім ти просто розумієшь що іспанські розробники таким чином намагались зробити акцент на національності персонажа - таким чином гру додатково можно охарактерізувати як симулятор російського готельного відпочинку. Освітлення на стандартних налаштуваннях не вистачає критично - ви просто не побачите деякі дійсно потрібні речі, тому тим кто буде грати рекомендую переходити в графічні налаштування та [b] викручувати яскравість [/b].
Гра зайде фанатам жанру головоломок (доречі є доволі складні - це скоріш +) та квеструмів, всім іншим - скоріше ні. В грі дійсно присутня непогана атмосфера, головоломки рівня "складніше середнього" але в моєму випадку зацікавленність закінчилась хвилин за 35-40, потім хотів пройти бо вже почав, але так і закинув недограну - просто нудно продовжувати. Якщо ви з тих самих фанатів жанру - купляти тільки під розпродаж коли знижка 80+ %

Меня хватило на 90 минут игры, чтобы понять уровень сложности загадок и почти никаких подсказок к ним. Огромное количество предметов в инвентаре посути не зная куда их использовать, ибо игра без каких либо подсказок. Порекомендовать могу, если вы хотите опробовать свое мышление

Uma experiência única, pelo preço pago de 2 reais valeu super apena, porém, o jogo trás uma dificuldade acima do normal em seus enigmas e puzzles, eu por exemplo tive que pesquisar para fazer alguns enigmas, diria que uma nota 8/10.

The Guest was a relatively short puzzle game.
Some puzzles were quite harder than I initially could've anticipated, however the damn rhythm-based puzzle was peak hell for me!
Other than that, the atmosphere and the overall plot were fantastic.

Consideratela come una recensione da tasto neutro. Gioco acquistato un po' di tempo fa e che inizialmente avevo scambiato per un horror. L'atmosfera c'è tutta: il buio, la pioggia, la radio che si accende da sola... Peccato che di horror questo titolo non abbia nulla e per quanto mi riguarda non è considerabile come tale. Alla fine è un escape room. Siete uno scienziato rinchiuso in una "camera d'albergo" a Boston e dovete trovare il modo di uscire, avanzando tramite gli indizi che trovate in giro. Gli indizi boh, alcuni sono intuitivi, altri sono dovuto andarmeli a cercare per non uscire di senno. In generale è cortino e non ti lascia alcunché. Se però lo trovate ad 1 euro e non avete altro a cui giocare, potreste anche provarlo.

Escape room game.

Fun to figure things out for yourself w/o a guide... but I'm dumb and needed a few hints.

I was a little annoyed by the disorienting hallway puzzle.

I had fun though, and that's what matters.

Hope the devs continue making games.
