Captive

[b]Captive[/b] is an escape room game exactly like the popular series of web-based games that circulated in the late 90's & early 2000's. You'll have to search every inch of the room for items and clues to figure out secret codes and ultimately crack a safe. [i]Captive[/i]'s greatest strength lies in the complexity of its puzzles, and is sure to stump even the most experienced escape artist. But I'm afraid that's where the magic ends, because it doesn't have anything else going for it. [h3]Since Steam forces a binary rating, choosing not recommended at its full price. I would recommend it on sale, if you're looking for a pure puzzle challenge, but bear in mind that it's very short, and the achievements only serve to pad its length. This review is actually mixed.[/h3] [h3]Pros[/h3] ✅ Challenging. Definitely one of the harder escape rooms I've played ✅ Varied puzzles: Basic math, some item combining, even physical interaction ✅ Secrets: Extra achievements for decoding hidden clues ✅ No annoying pixel hunts. Easy to find hotspots. [h3]Cons[/h3] ❌ Its core puzzle is acutely complex, and the hints surrounding it are easily confused. ❌ Bland Graphics. MSPaint-tier ❌ Short: One room. Once solved, the mystique is gone, and repeat runs become less and less fun. ❌ Cliffhanger ending. This isn't a plot based game, but what little crumbs it gives you are unsatisfying. "To be Continued" is a major letdown. ❌ Silent. It does have a few sound effects, but there's no music to speak of. This could be good for concentration, but it also makes the game feel even emptier. [b]Captive[/b] is the kind of game I'd expect from an engineer: Logical, calculated, and precise. The puzzles require some tinkering, a bit of outside the box thinking, and once solved, do give a sense of satisfaction. What [i]Captive[/i] lacks, however, is charm. The aesthetics are drab, the silence is deafening, and the tease of a plot without any answers was disappointing. Don't get me wrong--there's nothing wrong with bland graphics. I've played dozens of escape rooms over the years and some of the greatest don't have any screenshot-worthy visuals. But what they did have was coherent puzzles, maybe a bit of comedy, and ultimately some kind of plot resolution, no matter how small. [i]Captive[/i] feels like it scratches the surface but doesn't want to go any deeper. There are only a handful of interactive objects, no decorations beyond the minimum necessary required, no way to inspect your inventory items for additional clues. And I can't get past the fact that it's only one room. In 2020, I'd expect something more substantial of an experience for a game with a price tag. You can still play great escape rooms online right now, entirely free. To the developer's credit, he has been very responsive and even patched some initially game-breaking bugs. And without his help, I would not have been able to make sense of some clues that were phrased in a way open to interpretation. The updated version now has resolved these issues, for the most part. TL;DR - Get Captive if you're a puzzle collector. But only if it's on sale. There's only a handful of actions to take to escape the room, and the fun quickly diminishes when you're replaying it for achievements.

Totally got sucked in by the puzzles or should I say struggling to figure them out!

Aydınlık ama gizemli bir odada uyanıyorsunuz. Ne olduğunu, oraya nasıl ulaştığını bilmiyorsun.

Guess I'm stuck "Clues" don't really make sense, I can't tell which clues go to which "puzzles" "Puzzles" are mostly math problems, trying to decipher the "clues", and the pixel hunt of trying to use inventory items Game is sold as complete, but the only thing in "settings" is resolution options and a message saying they don't work yet. It doesn't save automatically, you have to hit esc and save. If you just close the game you lose all progress. Not sure it's worth starting over, let alone playing 10 times for the achievement.

I do not recommend

[h1]Before I played Captive, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

标准的密室逃脱解谜类游戏，看着简陋但不影响游玩，就是有些地方交互做的不是很好，把道具拖到想用的地方好多次都触发不了，让我一度怀疑自己是不是解错了，最后发现是一直交互不成功，有些影响体验了，其他方面还行吧

Too much math.
