Rating: 3/5 - Interesting deduction game, but wish there was better content and set
Pros:
➕Gameplay is heavily reliant on a logic/deduction puzzle which I like, but this will be a con if you don't like logic puzzles.
➕The first part of the set looks great
➕Multiple rooms to discover
➕Lots of realistic feeling props and details
➕Game is well lit, no flashlights needed
Cons:
➖The rest of the set after the first room was a huge downgrade in immersiveness and visual quality.
➖Our GM wasn't paying attention to what we were doing based on how they responded when we asked for a hint.
➖They didn't tell us we needed to keep track of what items we find and where we found them. Another GM told us they usually tell people but they didn't for us so we needed some major help to complete the game.
➖Little to no tech, mostly padlocks
➖Ending is kind of anti-climactic
➖Not a lot of puzzles, it's reliant on the logic/deduction puzzle.
I'd recommend 2-3 enthusiasts. No climbing or crawling.
