Price: $16.99 (Steam) O/S: Windows 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 As a delivery driver, you enter Mystwood Mansion to deliver a package, and the door suddenly locks behind you. Looking around, you notice a note on the table: "Dear visitor, welcome to my abode of mysteries...". As you navigate the numerous rooms, you realize that someone has set up a sequence of puzzles and challenges designed to prevent your escape! Video above is property of Lock Sock Studio 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ "Escape From Mystwood Mansion" offers a gentle, welcoming 3D art style. Rather than using traditional eerie or dark horror themes, it incorporates rustic wood paneling, elegant tiling, bookshelves, and plants. The vibrant and cheerful settings give it the feel of a relaxing puzzle session rather than a horror escape room, despite being monitored by security cameras throughout the mansion. I especially appreciated the meticulous attention to detail in the set design. Photos above are property of Lock Sock Studio 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 "Escape From Mystwood Mansion" is a first-person, point-n-click escape adventure game where players navigate rooms, uncover hidden compartments, and solve various codes and logical puzzles. It's described as cozy and charming rather than genuinely spooky, featuring delightful scenery. The game is brief and uncomplicated, with a typical play-through taking under 3 hours, or up to 4 hours to reach the true ending. As for navigation, you use the arrow keys and your mouse to interact with the environment. The game offers a basic set of moves, such as crouching, jumping, and interacting. There is no inventory system; you are limited to using the one item you carry. However, you can scatter items and notes either on the floor or the furniture for examination. The tiered hint system is very intuitive, as it offers clues progressively to help you avoid getting completely stuck. There are 5 main stages, with a secret ending for those who want to fully complete the experience. Note: For the ultimate experience, make sure you carry "the package" with you until the end. 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The game's design resembled a real escape room experience, allowing players to inspect items from all angles. When discarding an item, players can choose to either place it or toss it, which can certainly save time when eliminating the unnecessary. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK In this game, there is no inventory for collecting or assembling items. You use each object individually, which can become tiresome. Throughout the game, there are many items available for inspection. To some players, this may feel like a series of red herrings in a physical escape room. Photos above are property of Lock Sock Studio 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles are inventive, satisfying, and logically coherent offering enough to satisfy enthusiasts while also being ideal for onboarding beginners. Most of the puzzles are specifically designed to lead to one solution: the number or letter combination required to unlock the numerous padlocks securing each door in the mansion. Much like an escape room, achieving success involves searching for the clues in order to solve the puzzles. This enhanced the experience, making it more engaging and interactive. Photos above are property of Lock Sock Studio 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 "Escape From Mystwood Mansion" does an excellent job in providing a range of satisfying puzzles, all driven by an engaging story. It provides a short but enjoyable exploration of a charming, enigmatic manor house. I would have gladly explored and roamed around even without being locked inside! The rooms are filled with an engaging variety of puzzles, including some that involve opening a series of locks, common in escape rooms, and others that are more seamlessly integrated into the environment, typical of traditional adventure games. The difficulty level is perfectly balanced, complemented by an excellent hint system for those who might need a bit of assistance, showing that the developers aimed to present a great challenge without the risk of players getting truly stuck. Escape room enthusiasts and puzzle fans will thoroughly enjoy this game. For those who haven't experienced an escape room but are curious about their challenges, this serves as a fantastic introduction. "Escape From Mystwood Mansion" excels in both visuals and audio. The background music effectively fills the silence without being distracting. The mansion is designed in a way that makes it feel more like a living space than a puzzle area, with interactive elements that are relatively easy to identify. Although the game's theme is primarily cozy and lighthearted, it also includes an eerie element. As you progress, references to "Subject 83" might imply that Mystwood Mansion is a strange experiment involving players as test subjects. If you enjoy Scooby-Doo adventures, this is definitely the game for you!

Price: $6.99 (Steam), £4.99 (Nintendo) 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 Eighteen months have passed since the perplexing disappearance of the esteemed inventor and physicist, Dr. Hillman. His deserted mansion continues to conceal the secrets of his enigmatic research endeavor, referred to simply as Project 7. Driven by curiosity, you enter this spooky escape room adventure. However, when you wake up in the middle of the night, you find yourself trapped inside the mansion's walls. Can you solve the mysteries, or will you become another lost element of this escape room mystery game? Video above is property of M9 GAMES 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ One thing's for certain, M9 GAMES consistently excels in graphics. The landscapes are stunning, and the music is calming. The 3D environments showcase unique, beautiful designs, atmospheric lighting, and interactive physics-based elements, offering a far more immersive and refined experience compared to the developer's previous games. Photos above are property of M9 GAMES 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 "Project 7: Escape Room" is a 3D puzzle adventure game centered around investigating a physicist's disappearance. This marks M9 Games' first project developed with Unreal Engine, featuring new interface adjustments that improve interactivity. This game focuses on physics-based interactions, enabling you to lift, rotate, and physically maneuver larger objects within the room to solve puzzles. You have the freedom to explore the mansion in any order you choose and take your time, using a comprehensive save system to track your progress. The experience includes unique 3D graphics, subtle jump scares, and a voiced internal monologue for the character. 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE M9 GAMES excels at uncovering the mysteries of Project 7's captivating narrative as you progress. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK Many of the "rooms" contained only a single puzzle to solve, which seemed like a waste given the large area available for exploration. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 The puzzles mainly involve logic, deduction, and simple math rather than extremely complex riddles. The emphasis is on solving environmental issues instead of isolated puzzles involving reasoning. The escape-room style puzzles are the highlight. They are often commended for being logical and satisfying to solve, although they may be somewhat simple for experienced puzzle enthusiasts. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 "Project 7: Escape Room" emphasizes exploration, item collection, and puzzles akin to those found in escape rooms. Much of the game is similar to the developer's other recent titles, such as ALUMNI, VENARI, and SUBNET. However, it's the first game built with the Unreal Engine, featuring some interface changes and new ways to physically interact with the environment. This includes pressing buttons, rotating items, and even picking up and moving larger objects to specific locations, with a stronger emphasis on integrated problem-solving rather than isolated puzzles. A few mild jump scares are included to keep you attentive, but as is usual with M9, you have the flexibility to proceed at your own pace and tackle challenges in any order you prefer (or can), supported by a complete save system that lets you record your progress as needed. Overall, "Project 7: Escape Room" has a niche title that will appeal to dedicated fans of point-n-click or traditional escape room fans, but it might not meet the expectations of players seeking contemporary, smooth adventure game mechanics.

Price: $6.99 (Steam), £3.59 (Nintendo), $4.99 (App Store), $2.99 (Google Play) O/S: Windows, macOS 🆃🅷🅴 🆂🆃🅾🆁🆈 On the drive home from the airport, you notice your fuel gauge needle is on the red line. Feeling tired, you choose to take a lesser-known shortcut through a quiet village, opting for the shorter route to conserve fuel instead of stopping to refuel. As you drive past some of the large, old houses, the car starts making unusual sounds. You realize you've tested your luck too far, and the car gradually comes to a stop in front of one of the biggest houses on the street... Video above is property of M9 GAMES 🆃🅷🅴 ❞🅻🅾🅾🅺🆂❞ "SOTANO" features immersive 3D visuals and a captivating escape room setting which enthusiasts will appreciate. I liked the graphics and color selections for the game, as it created an eerie atmosphere. As you start to explore, you'll quickly notice the house's spaciousness. Photos above are property of M9 GAMES 🆃🅷🅴 🅶🅰🅼🅴 🅿🅻🅰🆈 "SOTANO" is a first-person 3D escape room adventure that offers a classic point-n-click puzzle experience. Much like an escape room, the game mechanics involve searching rooms, discovering clues, and gathering items in your inventory to solve puzzles.The completion time it takes to finish the game can vary based on how fast you solve the puzzles. "SOTANO" is mainly set indoors, where you gather items for your inventory to use throughout the game. The experience is enhanced by an immersive soundtrack and sound effects that draw you into the adventure. 🆃🅷🅴 🅿🆄🆉🆉🅻🅴🆂 Overall, the puzzles in "SOTANO" were fairly simple and enjoyable to tackle. The game primarily featured word riddles and observation challenges. I highly suggest it for beginners and puzzle fans seeking to enjoy some mini brain teasers. 🅲🅻🅾🆂🅸🅽🅶 🆃🅷🅾🆄🅶🅷🆃🆂 "SOTANO" certainly quenches the thirst of passionate escape room fans, providing an enjoyable and atmospheric, compact adventure. 🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE The expansive atmosphere of "SOTANO" definitely imparts the sensation of a survival exploration. As you advance, your capacity to explore and navigate expands. Similar to the other M9 Games, they excel in the set design graphics showcased in their games. 🧩 MISSED THE MARK The first-person panning and camera controls seemed somewhat awkward, requiring us to take breaks to prevent motion sickness. While the puzzles in "SOTANO" were enjoyable to solve, I would have preferred if they included more multi-layered puzzles rather than just one per room or section. The game featured numerous word riddles, and some of the puzzles started to seem repetitive. If you find yourself stuck on a puzzle, there is no integrated hint system or walkthrough available, which means players must either guess or search for guides.
