"Hints" to puzzles never clear and or convoluted...

Una "escape room" virtual. Entretenido

I was pretty excited for a futuristic escape room, but the cool theme is pretty much the only good thing going for this game. I thought the change to a stationary position and simply moving your camera around was a nice change, but it really needed better signposting as to what you could actually move to look at. The game devolved several times into pixel-hunting for something I had missed, which got aggravating quickly. The lighting is very poor. which makes it difficult to really see what you are looking at at times, which is not ideal if you are trying to find the one thing stopping you from progressing. Some of the puzzles are simply bad. Multiple panels in the same room with no explanation as to which clue corresponds to which panel is aggravating already. There is zero explanation for how some clues are meant to be interpreted, with the worst of them being in the 1st chapter with the [spoiler] poster, with nothing to point you in that direction to investigate. [/spoiler] The lighting makes it near impossible at times to see what you are able to interact with, and some of the items you are provided with are so vague as to what they are supposed to be used for that I ended up resorting to clicking anything and everything with it until I got lucky. The difficulty of the puzzles were also all over the place. The first chapter took me the longest by far, and then I breezed through the other two so quickly that I assumed there was more to come only to find out that I'd beaten the whole game. The devs are capable of some really good stuff, so I'm still looking forward to what comes next, but this is definitely not an example of their best work
