사라진 황제 [Materia Medica]

They have a concept of having different characters with abilities, it's pointless and just requires extra explanations. It's not a bad idea all together, but it is poorly executed/utilised. The room isn't great. It's linear puzzles but there's not actually anything in the room to give you clues, you just solve the puzzle. This means it becomes a lot more like a table top or computer based escape room as the actual room becomes a bit redundant. The first puzzle annoyingly has no clues and you either know how it works or you don't. You can't really puzzle it out, the hint is just the answer. The 6th puzzle makes no sense at all. It makes no sense with a hint, it makes no sense with the answer and it makes no sense with the explanation of the answer. I have no idea what on earth they were getting at. Other than that the clues were straight forward. Which means the whole room was unsatisfying as it's a combination of frustrating and a bit boring

Idk why this has so many thumbs down?? It’s a typical escape game, good for beginner players. It’s not like visionary or full of groundbreaking innovation by any stretch but it was super playable and imo this one is smoother than the other one we did (hocus 2). There isn’t much plot but the theme is nice. I do think hobby escapists will breeze through this one but my friend had t ever done one before and he was suuuper impressed haha All games here are fully bilingual! And the hint system is interesting! (Read my review on hocus 2 for deets).
