    This was my second escape room, and I played at Gamehole Con. The room itself was set up well, and the hook of the NES game was well executed. A friend and I ended up handling the game while the rest of the group handled the real-world puzzles, and I loved how the two interacted with each other. On the subject of the NES game - whoever programmed this did a GREAT job. I definitely see the Zelda inspiration, but for me it felt more like Crystalis or Nanashi no Game (which is a high compliment from me). I can be hard on games, trying things I have no business trying, but it's a stable build and didn't break. The dev(s) even accounted for the one bit of accidental sequence-breaking we did, which, awesome. The atmosphere was great, very spooky. The GM did a lovely job keeping tabs on all of us while still increasing the spook when needed. All in all, I'd definitely play other rooms in this series, and would honestly even replay this one with someone else at the NES controls. It ended up being one of the highlights of my con weekend.
