Escape: The Endless Dogwatch

a fun, short (maybe too short), easy to solve adventure game. if you have a free hour and nothing to do, this game will help you pass the time.

Okay

Neat little adventure, a throwback to flash animation point and clicks. Make your Captain seasick on purpose, have your buddies take out a prisoner with a bucket. Stop to mop up some evidence. What more could you want?

A short explorative point n click. Has the same "Escape % system" that scriptwelder's Don't Escape series. Pretty neat.

It was fine. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] The gameplay follows standard point-and-click style puzzles, there isn’t much else to say here and there isn’t really anything more to it interesting, if you like point and clicks you won’t have any trouble here. The game features the standard inventory interactive puzzles and that’s about it, there is a light time restraint that can either improve or hurt the ending that the player can get through. [h1] Story [/h1] The story isn’t too complex but is engaging. The player is a second officer on a ship sailing when the captain starts acting strangely, soon a second seemingly abandoned ship is spotted and things get hectic, next you must uncover the mystery of the ship and what the captain is hiding as well as escape. It’s a very short game, I was able to 100% it in about an hour but the story is engaging enough that the first run-through was enjoyable. There are some light horror elements but nothing too daunting. [h1] Graphics [/h1] The pixel graphics are uniquely done, it almost appears drawn in some instances and despite the seemingly low quality everything is quite clear and easy to see, the unique visual style is why I was originally drawn to it and it pays off well. [h1] Soundtrack [/h1] The soundtrack is fine, didn’t notice it much but there is some light music that adds to the spooky atmosphere. [h1] Conclusion [/h1] Escape: The Endless Dogwatch is a short little point-and-click mystery game with a decently engaging story, it is a very simple concept though and very short but for only $6 it’s not too bad. [h1] Score: 7/10 [/h1]

I got this when I had my usual old adventure point and click adventure game itch from childhood. This scratches that itch CORRECTLY in the way that it has reasonable logic and is not too long. The game has a haunting atmosphere and varied gameplay. I also really enjoyed the vintage nautical horror vibe. Choices matter so it has some replayability in the different endings. Short but sweet! If the style and theme speaks to you, it might be for you!
