Quest room: Hanon

This escape room is very small, and what you see in the trailer is all there is. One wall is not even being used, so you got 3 sides with some puzzles, and turning and twisting 1 or 2 item pieces (which goes a bit clunky). The puzzles aren't very hard and some things you can even solve by trial and error. You can get 6 achievement just by finishing the game, 1 by letting the clock run out, and 1 which is kinda harsh finishing it within 11 minutes (that's really really fast). I want to adress some of the negative reviews. -Lack of savegames? Come on seriously this is not an adventure game, and these people obviously didn't grow up in the 8bit console era, but anyway it's not needed, the game itself does not nearly take a hour. -Buggy, i have not encountered any bugs, i don't know if that's being lucky or that the dev fixed them in the meantime. -Pause button, i can agree with that but you can alt+tab out (or even combined with alt+enter in windowed mode and make the window smaller) then the timer will not run, and you can get a cup of coffee or watch a youtube walkthrough. It's not worth 2,39€ , more like 1,00€ so for full price i would not recommend it, but on sale for 0,40€ you can have a little fun for an hour or so with it. Note that we are promised 2 more sequels, but as i am writing this review, that's been 2 years ago since this was made, and the dev seems to be not very active and working on just pretty much any other game but this. https://twitter.com/burrikgames

All of the problems with this game are easily fixed, if the developer cared enough about it. I posted some suggestions for how this game could be improved FOUR months ago (in Discussions) and the developer has not responded so I am taking that to mean he is no longer interested in fixing any of the bugs or issues players have reported. I didn't complete the game and just uninstalled it. At least its cheap and I paid less in a sale so I don't feel TOO ripped off.

C'est bien la première fois que je joue à un "escape room" qui soit à se point si focalisé sur un seul lieu. Dans Quest Room Hanon (QRH), le joueur ne doit pas échapper à un manoir, un sous-sol, une base militaire ou un labyrinthe : ici, le joueur est bel et bien coincé dans un piège qui a tout pour devenir sa tombe virtuelle. On peine à se retourner, les 4 murs oppressants sont là tant pour apporter des indices, proposer des énigmes, que rappeler qu'on ne peut rien faire d'autre que se tourner en tout sens et s'accroupir (et se relever). Aucun déplacement, donc, et aucune variété de lieux : de quoi rapidement ressentir une panique "claustrophobique" ... mais si le corps ne peut pas bouger, l'esprit a lui de quoi s'occuper avec les nombreuses zones interactives de ce lieu égyptien. Chaque petite parcelle de mur peut cacher quelque chose d'indispensable pour s'échapper. Et pour ne rien gâcher à l'immersion déjà angoissante, le chrono traditionnel au genre rappelle que la partie s'arrête au bout d'une heure et demi, faute d'air pour survivre plus longtemps. QRH est avant tout un court jeu qu'un vétéran peut finir en 30 minutes, là où une personne moins familière à ce type de jeux risque perdre plusieurs fois de suite avant de remporter la victoire, forte des découvertes faites au cours des précédentes parties. La durée de vie de ce jeu passe aisément de 30 minutes à 5 heures. Graphiquement, QRH est très plaisant, malgré une 3D rudimentaire. Les textures et les éclairages sont là pour apporter de la crédibilité à l'aspect visuel général. L'ambiance sonore bénéficie aussi d'un soin particulier, vu que bien souvent seuls les sons permettent de faire comprendre au joueur qu'il a réussi quelque chose, et qu'il y a du mouvement quelque part. Quant aux défis, ils sont nombreux, et si au départ le joueur se laisse guider, il se retrouve rapidement seul face à des moments d'observation et de réflexion de plus en plus intenses. Certaines énigmes plus laborieuses à résoudre que d'autres freineront à vouloir remporter le "succès Steam ultime" de ce jeu (un rush pour finir en temps record), mais ce jeu récompense malgré tout régulièrement les avancées par des succès motivants. Comme pour beaucoup de jeux proposés en "épisode 1" sur Steam, QHR peut s'arrêter là, offrant une expérience de jeu relativement courte, mais prenante et originale. Il n'est d'ailleurs pas certain que ce jeu soit enrichi d'autres épisodes, vu que le développeur semble être passé à un autre type de jeux et une nouvelle héroïne. Mais que cela ne refroidisse pas les aventuriers, QRH est jouable et parfaitement appréciable dans son état actuel. Sans aucun texte à lire ni aucun dialogue, ce jeu est accessible à tous, et son gameplay basique (clavier pour se baisser et relever, et souris pour tout le reste) permet à chacun de pouvoir goûter aux joies de ces énigmes. Certaines étant bien plus difficiles que les autres. Et le chrono empêche tout système de sauvegarde : si le joueur quitte, le jeu doit être repris du début. QRH fait partie de ces petits jeux sans prétention à bas prix sur Steam, bien faits (un seul petit soucis technique, dans la sensibilité de rotation d'un rouage, mais rien de bien méchant), agréables et prenants, offrant ici la courte mais originale expérience d'enfermement dans un étroit tombeau. A ne surtout pas faire si on est claustrophobe, mais qui demeure une acquisition que la plupart des aventuriers ne regretteront pas, afin de se divertir un court moment.

Wish I could recommend this game because I like the concept. However, there are just flaws that make the game at times a chore or unplayable. I've had to restart because of bugs where I wasn't able to progress even though obtaining a piece or solving a puzzle should have progressed the game. There are also some optimization issues and the controls are less-than-stellar. Oh, and I wasn't able to play it until I got a new mouse because you can't select your own bindings, so if your mouse scroll wheel is broken or wonky don't bother. That said, the theme is good, the puzzles interesting, and the game was varied enough to my liking. The graphics had no issues and I actually liked the overall aesthetics and design. Those combined would have made me like the game were it not for control and game-breaking issues. If the devs could address those, then I'd wholeheartedly recommend it, but as it stands, it would be a no-go for me.

I have mixed feelings about this game, but decided to give it a thumbs up. I just as easily could have given it a thumbs down, but I decided it had enough good about it spare the developer. The graphics are good, as one would expect, and I enjoyed the Egyptian theme. Some of the puzzles are quite challenging with no obvious solution to work toward, so a couple of them I solved as a matter of pure luck. Some of the puzzles, on the other hand, are mere tasks because you're give the answer in front of you. In general, though, the puzzles were standard fare. My biggest problem with the game is that the timer cannot be turned off. It seems basic to me that that should be an option, and I don't reckon it would be a monumental coding task. The other big issue is that there is no way to save your progress or to pause the game. That, for me, is usually an automatic thumbs down. During my last play-through, when I actually managed to escape, my wife spilled tea on an extension cord and popped the main breaker. It was after dark, so I had to deal with it. I had to leave the clock running, which could have been a disaster with respect to finishing the game. Fortunately, I had plenty of time because I'd run through most it several times. Not having the option to turn off the clock or to pause/save the game is the mark of an amateur. I hope the developer does better next time.

Well it's not the best escape room ever, but not the worst either. It has achievements, and it was made by one person, so I tend to give some grace. I did not like the lack of a save - so be warned that you may be in there for an hour and a half and not be able to save. I did like the timer, and a plausible explanation for it. I'd be happy to play a sequel to this game.

decent and short puzzle game. worth the hour i spent on. the price is not too high. i recommend it.

I wanted to like this game because of the Egypt theme. It was a very cool concept. The things that bothered me were: buggy controls, very limited camera movement, inability to reset a puzzle, some puzzles that have 0 clues, no pausing and the achievements do not pop in game!

Buggy and frustrating!

Se puede completar en literalmente 5 minutos. Es muy corto de contenido, la historia es nula y algo incómodo de jugar ya que solo hay dos puntos de vista y la posibilidad de hacer zoom. Al final se deja abierta la posibilidad de otro juego... ya veremos.
