Unique period setting room with some good props, sets, and atmosphere. Never played a game like it at all before which is part of the appeal. I wish the game leaned more into the props rather than just clues on signs or paper. There aren’t many puzzles, but most of them are solid and somewhat fit into the time period. One puzzle irked us because we got a solution a certain way (which technically didn’t follow a specific prompt) but were told that it didn’t count and we had to start over because it was not following the rules of the puzzle. We felt pretty smart for solving it our way. I’m not upset at the fact that we were told to reset it, as much as I am disappointed that such a puzzle has all these specific rules and conditions in the first place. I feel if players can achieve a solution through clever means, then let them feel smart finding the answer in their own way instead of confining them to solving it the creator’s intended way. Rant aside, I did enjoy that puzzle and the rest of the room. That part just dampened the mood a little for us.
