Okay, I solved your puzzles, but I have some comments:

Escape room games should not rely on external tools to solve the puzzles. In order to solve this I had to: 

  • Look up a cypher from a book (the cypher is too short to solve on its own, and there's an error in the 6th character)
  • Use a QR code reader (imagine if you were playing on your phone, you'd need another phone to read it)
  • Use a hash solver
  • reference a different alphabet (no spoiler)

Why is this a problem? Escape room games are supposed to put you in the position of the player trying to escape. Having to use external tools that the character would not have at their disposal breaks the experience. 

What did i like? Firstly, the point and click interface was pretty decent. The inventory system was easy to work. The overall feel was decent. I would have liked to have played it full screen, however. 

Also, what's the deal with the book? It has nothing to do with the game. 

All this is meant to be positive criticism. I'm am not blasting your game, but merely my opinion.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. It helps greatly.

I didn't add too much context on why the game was designed this way, but it was designed around a discord chat bot cypher/riddle game translated into RPG maker. 

I agree that this is not a traditional room escape game and I apologize if it was misleading in that fashion. I can add a bit more info into the comments.

Again thank you for the feedback!


PS. The book does have a purpose, although I can't spoil for what! 

which alphabet bc I have been at this game for 5days now all bc of the crate now its the lockerr!?
