Reich's Lair - Escape Room

Good game but only takes 30-45 minutes to complete.

Don’t listen to the complainers. I have played every decent escape game out there (and a bunch of bad ones too) and this game is almost on par with Glitch Games’ stuff - maybe not as long and a little less layered, but certainly challenging. The puzzles are medium to difficult and many of the clues are subtle. The bulk of the solutions are number-oriented which can get a little old but that’s about the only drawback. I was able to play through without hints (the math section was hard) and managed to finish in about eight hours. Great for a free game for sure.

The game starts off confusing, it doesn’t tell you have to tap to make it go, I thought that my game froze for a bit, but turns out, I had to tap to make the starting cut scene go. It also gives you no instructions on how to do anything. You have to watch an ad for that. The first “puzzle”, with the jacket, I got stuck bc I didn’t know I could/had to shake it. The game should at least give you a prompt for that, bc it’s a game mechanic, instead of treating it like a hint. And don’t get me started on the ufo puzzle, again, it doesn’t tell you that the game has tilt controls, so I was stuck on that forever, wondering why the ufo wouldn’t move, and the numbers puzzle before that, I have no idea how that even works.
