    I read a lot of reviews of this experience before I did it, so I felt adequately prepared to go into this not with an escape room mentality, but with more of an open mind to just experiencing this place. Pros: - Several novel ways of telling a story, incorporating a few light puzzles to figure out, and progressing you through the experience. - Amazing set design full of great objects. It certainly immersed you in the idea that you are exploring an old storage locker. - Our GM was very in character and did a great job playing her part. Cons: - The story felt a little lackluster. I wish there had been more depth to it or a deeper message to turn over in my mind afterwards. If this single aspect had been improved, this would have easily taken this to a “Love” rating for me. As it is, I felt a little let down by the boringness of the story. Perhaps if there had been a mystery to unravel or more interesting life events or some more reflection on how the person felt about her life events, I could have derived more enjoyment from the experience. It just needed a little bit more meat to it. - We went on a very hot day and it was too warm in the room. They had some light A/C in there, but I still sweated the whole time, which made it a little uncomfortable. - I wish there was a bit more to the story/experience that made it longer, as it felt a little too quickly progressed between the different story points. Right when it starts to get a bit interesting, you abruptly jump from one life event to another and then it’s over and there’s not much to feel about it. Just a little too straightforward. I wanted to feel conflicted or shocked or saddened or empathetic or something, but it was just a little bit too simplistic and straightforward of a story for any strong feelings to form.
