🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
As you begin the bank infiltration, the game appropriately starts in darkness. You are provided with a flashlight to explore the dimly lit lobby area of the bank. This effectively creates an immersive experience, simulating a real heist scenario.
The game features a cool bank mechanism that operates like an authentic machine.
Later in the game, there is a heightened sense of urgency, enhanced by the sound effects, which significantly contribute to the realism of needing to escape quickly to avoid capture.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There was a directional puzzle that could be interpreted in multiple ways. It would be beneficial to clarify the wording to explain why certain routes are not viable.
We would appreciate clearer associations between puzzles and their corresponding locks, as there were many in the room, and it was unclear why specific puzzles should be used on certain locks or items.
Some props require updating, particularly one that we could have completed at the end to signify our victory. It was disappointing that it was not functional, which lessened the exciting at the end.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
The experience in this room could be enhanced with repairs to certain props and improvements to the puzzle flow. If you enjoy heist missions, this game might appeal to you. Much of the gameplay occurs in a dimly lit environment, relying on a flashlight, so ensure you're comfortable with this setting. One clever aspect of the game is the designer's inclusion of an easy escape route for players who can identify a crucial piece of information, which aligns well with the heist theme. While we chose a more challenging path, you might be among the few who successfully hit the jackpot and escape with ease!
