A short and sweet experience, will be enjoyed by fans of Zero Escape-esque stories. The puzzles were of reasonable difficulty.
If you're a fan of Uchikoshi works such like Infinity Saga and Zero Escape Trilogy, I recommend you totally this game. It was short, but enjoyable in the end. I was expecting some mysteries (readed too much Uchikoshi's novels) already, but there are others which was unexpected to me. Is worth to play!
A great game if you like Zero Escape. Nice puzzles, and good characters that you will love/hate. Totally recomended
Clean Slate isn't perfect but I had fun. It has a relatively straightforward narrative, however there are times where it can get confusing as to where you are and what point in the story you find yourself in. The game feels like it has been developed with passion and although it isn't the best visually, the passion kind of made me feel... good?... for this reason when playing. The characters weren't particularly interesting except Sam. The puzzles were the best part of the game. They were truly something to sink my puzzle solving skills into and I loved each and everyone of them except the riddle in the beginning. It's nice that there are multiple endings too even if it's short to reach your first ending. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would recommend if you get it on sale since the price tag is a bit much for the experience you get. 6/10
Overall, an interesting idea and nicely executed. A little repetitive, a bit short, but I enjoyed it.
Nice game, even though made by an independent developer, I liked the story! Nice homage to the Zero Escape series. The sprites are not the best but still do the job, I still enjoyed it all - the puzzles especially!
As a massive Zero Escape fan, I heard about this game back when it first came out and knew I needed to play it. It really is a love letter to the genre, and very cleverly done! There's parts of it where I could clearly see the inspiration from other similar games and it was a lot of fun. The use of the actual technology for a plot purpose was also really well done. I will say, I guessed the big twist, but I was really glad to guess it, pretty far into the story. It's so satisfying to have a theory and to have it confirmed. It definitely isn't as polished as a big name game - I started out with the "true" end accidentally and so it didn't feel as much of a proper end when I got the other endings, because I'd already seen the important parts of the story. Having some story locks would be helpful, I feel. And just some additional padding at the end of a route to make it feel more concrete because each ending felt like it ended rather abruptly. But for an indie game, and one that's clearly a passion project, great job! I really enjoyed it, and I hope you keep making games in the future :)
Short but enjoyable. Was a nice nod to the Zero Escape series.
The reason why I gave it the thumbs down is to warn you it's not for the casual gamer/puzzle solver/visual novel reader. The "hints" to the puzzles only offer one or two basic hints, with no option to skip and no ability to choose your puzzle skill level. When the developer says "science-themed puzzles" they aren't kidding. The toughest one has to do with the genetics of eye colour, where you have to determine the parents' eye colours based upon the eye colours of their offspring. Another puzzle is involving the periodic table of elements, and you're supposed to determine four unknown elements by just two of their properties. Besides the lack of hints and inability to skip, you can't print out the instructions for the puzzles which gives you a primer, which would especially help with the eye puzzle. You can choose do do one of the easier puzzles initially, but you still have to solve one of the most difficult puzzles after. There are no guides or walkthroughs available, and the developer doesn't show any interest in producing one...many games on the market have guides built-in...not this one! So if you're up on your science and love solving puzzles with no help this is for you. But if you're an average gamer avoid this one, which is disappointing as I was getting into the story...but will be abandoning it. If I could still get a refund I would!
Loved the game! The story is captivating and compels you to find all the endings to close the story in a spectacular way. Some puzzles are hard but is better that way.
