Escape the Ninja Room

Long before the current "live action" escape room craze, the internet saw somewhat of a boom in niche flash escape games, most of which came from Japan. [b]Escape the Ninja Room[/b] feels like a time slip to that era, but upgraded to a 360 degree view. For fans of these games, you'll no doubt enjoy it, but bear in mind that it's not without problems. [b][u]Since steam forces a binary rating, choosing recommended since it was enjoyable, but this review is actually mixed.[/u][/b] [h1]Pros[/h1] + Unity engine allows for rotational 360 views + Contains familiar combination locks, items to collect and use + 2 rooms to escape + Simple point and click control [h1]Cons[/h1] - 3D potential isn't fully realized. There's no perspective puzzles, no free movement (you are limited to preset locations that you "warp" between) - Very low res textures, short music loop. - Short. 5 mins per room possible. Without spoilers, maybe 1 hour. - Couple bugs: -- Save is broken in ninja room if you spend 2 coins. Becomes impossible to complete on a resumed game. -- If you mute the sound, exit and restart, the game seems to be muted by default forever -- The game has no exit button. Intended for windowed mode only? -- Ninja room bank code doesn't display numbers, only chinese characters, even in English mode. My advice? Wait for a sale. It's a nice bit of nostalgia, but entirely too short, doesn't bring anything new to the table, and contains bugs that the developer has acknowledged are not possible to fix. To the developer, please take this as constructive criticism, because I would like to see more escape room games in the future. [u]Achievement Hunters:[/u] No achievements. [h3]✧Stuck?
