The attention to detail and authenticity in capturing the essence of the dystopian setting allowed us to fully indulge in the adrenaline-fueled adventure. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

  • Unlike typical games that use a lock to chain the group up as a mere gimmick, Screaming Metal presented one of the most inventive and engaging "locked" starts we've encountered.

Their commitment to staying in character and delivering engaging dialogue added a layer of immersion and enjoyment to the experience. They effectively guided the groups through the game while maintaining the atmosphere of the world.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • While the finale of Screaming Metal was enjoyable, it could benefit from a bit more theatrical flair. Although this is a minor critique, it would have added an extra level of excitement and satisfaction to the conclusion of the game. Nonetheless, it's important to note that this minor aspect doesn't detract from the overall quality of the room and the immersive experience it offers.

The set pieces, including the impressive final room, create a visually stunning environment that truly captures the essence of the world they've created.


Furthermore, the interactions with the actors add an extra layer of excitement to the experience. The actors' commitment to staying in character and their engaging dialogue provide memorable moments of interaction that further enhance the gameplay.
