Love the idea of a 3D escape room, was well implemented. The space between the important "sections" of the map felt a little bit big and disorienting at times, but that is very similar to a real desert I suppose, hahah. The camera was also a bit finicky, due to the mouse/camera combo not really being able to do a full 360 on my computer, but nothing detrimental to the gameplay experience. Overall, was a cool concept with good execution!
