Overall, it was an interesting room with a unique change in tone from the first installment.

NevermoreNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLI’m not usually a fan of story-heavy escape rooms, but I had no trouble following the storyline in this game. The theming in Nevermore was beautifully designed and really helped bring the story to life. The puzzles were straightforward, enjoyable, and satisfying to solve. If you’re planning to play both games, I’d recommend doing Rippers first, followed by Nevermore. I enjoyed starting with the adrenaline-filled intensity of Rippers and then winding down with the more mellow atmosphere of Nevermore.
