There are some good things to like in Date or Escape.
I loved the chill music and the general vibe the game offers. It gives a nice mood for when you want to relax and unwind with a browser game.
One thing I did struggle with is the amount of text you have to read and re-read as you are searching for keys and accidently click the same place you already searched. Perhaps a workaround could be something like after the player has read it once, if they check it again you could have a Yes/No choice if you want to read it again (since you may forget clues).
Overall it was a chill little experience so thank you for making and sharing this game.
