50 escape rooms
5/10 Mission X rooms are HARD. I attempted this one with one other person who hadn't done many escape rooms and that certainly contributed to the problem, but the other is just the sheer amount of puzzles and sifting you have to do in this room in an hour. But not only that, the ending requires you to hopefully remember everything you've done so far to finish the last puzzle. This is normally fine, if it's just an overarching story sense, but it was asking for so many specific things and specific details, and when you have less than 10 minutes by the end to put it all together and at that point everything is all over however many rooms there are, it's just no longer fun.
Gameplay
There are a few good puzzles sprinkled in here. Clever uses of themed items. But then unnecessarily there are puzzles requiring searching large amounts of items for the right thing, and the aforementioned culmination puzzles that are just needlessly specific and complex.
Atmosphere
The rooms are relatively bland with the theming coming from the items themselves. I didn't feel particularly transported to the locations being described or the scene that was set by the GM/intro video.
