🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
My favorite parts of this room was the beginning and the end. The lighting matched the sound flawlessly, creating a highly eerie atmosphere. While playing the game, there are also instances where you'll sense goosebumps as if someone is observing. The ending was also very unexpected and since we had about 2 minutes on the clock, it was definitely a heart pounding moment.
As captives, we were separated into different rooms. It was only through collaboration that we managed to come together again. Each player had their chance to stand out, ensuring that no one could the "hogger" of the game.
The idea of 7 deadly sins was perfectly incorporated into the storyline. I appreciate how the puzzles were centered on this theme as well, with creative representations for each sin.
As we advanced in the game, more secrets were revealed, just like the expanding spaces. Do not be deceived by appearances, as there were much to accomplish in this room for a successful escape..
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There was a puzzle that gave two different solutions. It would be great if the direction could be more clear.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
