ALUMNI - Escape Room Adventure

The game it self is fairly straight forward Solve the puzzles move forward to the next room. Game length is also fairly short in that it would only take a few hours to finish it. Game music is fairly nice though a bit repetitive and the plot is non existent. I felt like they missed a great opportunity to add a story and some plot of any type. Why are we in a destroyed school? What happened? Is there something here with us. It wouldn't have been to hard to add some elements like that to flesh out he back ground. Puzzles are generally fairly nice but some of them are fairly obtuse in how to solve them and on at least 3 of them the answer makes no sense or reason on how that answer was actually reached. I would say 4 but the 4th one is a music puzzle and I'm terrible at music puzzles and don't much care for them . Over all I give a 6/10

Its a yes from me... On sale this game is definitely worth the price, you get a couple hours of gameplay. The puzzles start out very simplistic, so simplistic in fact that you might overwork the problem and come to a different result, when in fact the game just wants the bare basic response to any equation given to you. It does pick up a little near the end, and you have to think a little more, but the majority of the early game is super easy and not a challenge. Would be nice to have more notes to read / lore. (Not intro videos or epilogues, but items you could find to add to the story by reading or examining).

meh out of 10

Ein einfaches Rätsel Spiel bei dem man in die Vergangenheit reist um Rätsel zu lösen. Die Story an sich ist nicht spannend, dafür waren die Rätsel meiner Meinung nach recht einfach gehalten, da man die Hinweise direkt vorgefunden hat. Teilweise gab es auch Rätsel bei denen ich nicht wirklich auf die Lösung gekommen bin. Obwohl die Rätsel einfach gehalten waren, war es dennoch angenehm dieses Spiel zu spielen, weshalb ich dem eher den Daumen nach oben gebe, auch wenn es eher in den Sem-Bereich geht. Würde aber warten, bis es reduziert wurde.

tldr: just want a gameplay video? its at the bottom of the view. While I did enjoy the game I wish I had an option other than yes/no for "do i recommend this" for the reasons below. Buyer Beware [1]: There is a nasty softlock bug in the game that bricks your save file essentially. If you finish a puzzle that requires you to activate something and save before entering the next loading level then you can no longer progress. It will reload your save and act as you have not done the puzzles; but the puzzles will be completed. Buyer Beware [2]: While I cannot verify the veracity of what i'm about to type I will go ahead and say it anyways, please draw your own conclusions and do research: Apparently there are escape room bundles available on the asset store in unity/other game dev software and the dev's quick development cycle of releasing a new escape room game every 3~ months or so points to them sort of being an asset flip with some small modifications. If someone can confirm this please comment below. Now that the buyer beware is out of the way, lets get on with the rest of the review. I enjoyed playing through the escape room game. I've tried two of the other escape room games from this dev: subnet and vereda. Those two games shared a puzzle or two with each other. (27/5/4, looking at you) but this one I believe had all different puzzles than the other two. All of the puzzles had a straightforward solution; even if I did get stuck for a moment here and there. Sometimes the ol' brain forgets simple things ya know? For 99% of the other cases none of the puzzles were too vague except the very last puzzle. I still don't understand it. Its the only puzzle I brute forced in the game. If you know how the puzzle works please let me know! All in all while yes I did enjoy my playthrough of the game, I am worried about the developer's quick release cycle of escape room games. If you just enjoy playing them though, then its not a bad purchase. Full Gameplay below. https://youtu.be/S1s5xsCVpBc

absolument nul

Look at pattern on wall/note Enter combination into keypad Repeat for 2 hours

Does not work very well on the Mac. Achievements don't trigger and some puzzles do not work so I could NOT complete. However worked fine on Windows 10. All Achievements earned and all puzzles worked. Fun but in some ways simple. Enjoyed.

For anyone thinking if this game is worth it.. it's not. I got this on sale for $6 and it wasn't worth that much. There's still some bugs in the game, especially the obvious messed up audio and tab problems. What pissed me off is that some of the puzzles towards the end didn't have any valuable hints/guide for you to figure out the solution. 100% seems like the developer gave up, stopped putting any effort into his game half way through and just wanted to finish it so they can fish for money. I love escape/puzzle games and I don't mind a cheesy game but this is just trash and not worth the money...

I couldn't play it at all as the controls are totally wonky! I tried to change the inputs to other buttons etc but just made it worse so just reset them back. Not worth the aggravation!
