A Temporal Tangle

As someone who first played escape rooms through video games, I felt right at home with this digital game. I really appreciated the effort put into making this a game that really replicated the in-person experience, since our group did this remote during the pandemic. This room has a unique story and message, that warmed my heart. The puzzles are all really well done and the game is actually pretty lengthy, but of course, it’s as laid-back as you want to make it since it’s all virtual. All in all, I loved this digital experience!

It took us the full 2 hours to solve. What I like - each person has their own experience and completes all the puzzles independently. What I didn’t like - same as the like. I think I would prefer it be like a game where we can see each other in the group and once a puzzle is solved, solved for all. This wasted a lot of time having to wait for everyone to solve to move forward. We also had trouble grabbing and using tools on occasion. You don’t have a way to communicate with each other so you need to setup a zoom or group call to discuss. Fun room that felt like a real room. Because of the setup, I would recommend playing alone.
