SLACKJAW

This is a neat little game. Great graphics, spooky atmosphere, nice original soundtrack. I don't mind it being short, though I feel like if it were an anthology based on different serial killers with different rooms, it would serve better as a "complete" game, especially for the escape room style. All in all, if you have an hour and a few bucks to kill, it's a worthwhile little puzzle. $9 isn't a lot, but I would probably recommend getting on sale. One thing to note, which I asked the dev about - if you're experiencing a UE5 fatal error on boot, reset your shader cache. Not ideal to have to "fix" the game before you can play it, but at least there is a fix. Another thing, which drove me mad for a good 10 minutes. [spoiler] When you find the jar with the license, it is so absolutely not obvious that you have to inspect it and turn it at a specific angle to get it out. I had originally inspected it, but used keys to turn it completely upside down, which didn't prompt the action to remove it. So when you realize you need the license, and all you have is a hammer with a jar, you naturally assume there must be a way to use them together to get it out. My only real critique of the gameplay.

3.4/5

I really enjoyed this game! Was well made I didn’t encounter any bugs! And absolutely loved the escape room style gameplay. As someone that doesn’t care for escape rooms irl this was so much more enjoyable! Unraveling the story with the gameplay was also great! I also loved that this did not have jumpscares! I will be looking forward to more games you put out! My gameplay here! I'm trapped in a Serial Killers Basement and trying to escape SLACKJAW https://youtu.be/o8s2RsVoiW4

纯密室逃脱，，

地下室から脱出するのが目的の短編ホラーゲーム 雰囲気は良いのですが ボリュームが少ないのが残念 本作がSteam第一作目みたいなので 今後に期待してギリおすすめにしておきます

Ein sehr gutes Spiel zu einem SEHR interessantem Fall.... Ich möchte in der Rezension nicht allzu viel vorweg nehmen, da das Spiel zwar sehr kurz aber gut umgesetzt ist! Also... Falls du True Crime gerne hörst oder dir Dokus dazu anschaust....kauf dir dieses Spiel. Und dann kannste danach noch Sachen zu dem Fall nachschlagen und anschauen, was gibts besseres? Auf alle Fälle sehr gut gelungen. Ich für meinen Teil war recht angespannt während des Spielens... bin aber auch eher ein Schisser was sowas angeht.
