You wake up in an old garage filled with oil, rusty tools, peculiar symbols, and the faint sound of a chainsaw. Your captor is experienced, and their work isn't done. The family watches, and time is running out as something approaches...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The set design perfectly captures the "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" vibe as soon as we enter the room, complete with rusted tools, blood smudges, and even a chilling well!
The lighting and sound effects are expertly timed to deliver some fantastic jump scares.
Brandon thrives with physical puzzles, and this room provided ample opportunities for him to excel. I thoroughly enjoyed a visual puzzle that truly tested your memory.
The puzzles creatively incorporate the room's props, offering innovative clues and solutions.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The finale would have been enhanced with a cooler sound effect, as nothing triggered when we played it with the final insertion of the escape tool.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This game is pretty popular with players, drawing inspiration from the highly acclaimed movie Texas Chain Saw Massacre. While it may not reach the film's horror intensity, it undoubtedly provides jump scares that surprise players during gameplay. It definitely will get your adrenaline pumping especially during those last terrifying moments as a captive. But, if you're skilled at finding things, you might escape even faster than we did. If not, we will have to bid you adieu...Good luck!
