Project 7: Escape Room

I enjoyed the puzzles and the atmosphere, but the game was definitely buggy. I enjoyed the atmosphere but wall patterns would end in the middle of a wall making stone look like wall paper. Item collision was crazy, I accidently knocked multiple items across the rooms when holding another item. [spoiler] There was one level were a block with roman numerals was supposed to be lifted out of the floor and it just wasn't on the shelf. I had to look up a walkthrough because I thought I missed something. In a different room a puzzle door closed on me, soft locking me. [/spoiler] Both times I just had to exit to menu and then click continue to restart the room. The voice actor did a great job, but I really didn't follow the plot because I didn't read the notes. There were so many notes and all of them were in cursive. Very pretty, but difficult to read when you can't zoom in or increase font size. The plot I did pick up on felt inspired by The Room. I wish the plot had been less notes and more dynamic storytelling. There was no Settings at all. There wasn't any way to change mouse sensitivity or decrease the volume or turn on subtitles or change the screen size to windowed. I had assumed it was the developer's first game, but this is M9's 12th game on steam. I felt the puzzles were a pleasant level of difficulty, not hard enough to be frustrating and not easy enough to grow bored. I feel like this game had real potential, but the necessary time was not spent on developing the story or game play.

I enjoyed this game but unfortunately it is very buggy.I have hit a bug that doesn't allow me to go any further in the game so I can't complete the game. Can't recommend it.

good game

This game was a bit buggy and maybe a little too short, but still a very enjoyable game.

Project 7 is a typical offering from M9 Games, of which I am a fan. Aside from the few math related puzzles I had a good time with this. It's a simple escape-the-room type progression with a story. I am happy to see that Chris continues to create new games despite mixed reviews. The settings and stories are each unique with a variety of puzzles. In my opinion, all of M9 Games are good entertainment for an evening. Relative to some of the negative reviews, I experienced NO BUGS while playing Project 7.

Difficulty only comes from lack of explanation.
