The main attraction to this game is definitely the set design and scares, however the story was hard to follow, and to find the puzzles you have to pay super close attention to find hidden elements/codes that blend in with the set. There was also so many generative ai videos across the room with some even being used for puzzles.
Gameplay
The gameplay was not very intuitive mostly due to the double usage of many puzzles/elements in the game, and that you have to pay a lot of attention to find random codes plainly hidden around the physical room. Some puzzle elements also felt extremely out of place and most puzzles ended up being super simple and their difficulty came from not having found a hidden element in the room.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere was wonderful, and it had some great scares/set elements, however I must rate it a thumbs down due to its constant use of generative Ai videos all across the room to the point that any way we looked there was Ai that Immediately broke immersion and filled me with disappointment.
Customer service
Game master was nice, didn’t leave a lasting impression.
