About this game

As a legendary thief, your next assignment lures you into a grand and lavish mansion. There you find a series of puzzle boxes, designed for an unknown purpose.

Soon signs begin to emerge that you are no longer in control of what is unfolding, and perhaps never were. You start to doubt if this is an ordinary residence or a containment facility of some sort. What should have been a quick in-and-out, gradually turns into your own harrowing struggle for freedom and answers.

Inspired by the cryptic atmosphere, intricate machinery, and smooth controls of the best room escape games, we have created 20 original puzzle boxes that will test your resolve and skills to successfully navigate this mysterious and compelling journey. Each puzzle box is beautiful, unique, and a true delight to explore and figure out. Play the first 10 levels for free!

Ratings and reviews

Overall, good! It's very "The Room"-esque, which I like.. I do wish there was an option to change the sensitivity though; looking around moves a bit too fast for me. I also wish when you were finding where an object goes, that it would be more obvious. Like if an object was transparent until you hovered over where it's supposed to go; to help show you have the right spot. Other than those 2 things: 4/5!

I'm a big fan of Snapbreak's Doors escape puzzle games, and I was excited to see this new app. The visuals are beautiful, I love the sound effects used in the mechanisms, and the puzzle boxes are creative. I'm glad there were unlimited options for hints, however I wish there was a feature that shows you HOW to solve a puzzle, rather than just solve it for you. Some puzzles are a bit confusing, but that doesn't mean I can't solve it. A simple push in the right direction might help.

Comparisons to The Room series will be coming, and while this have used the template set forth, it does it amazingly well. There is a sense of Lovecraftian dread as the pieces literally and figuratively fall into place. The challge varies from puzzle to puzzle but aren't so hard as to cause frustration. The graphics are top notch as well. This is how you make Game of the Year!
