Escape Room: Strange Case

I enjoy these types of games. I’ve played many different versions of them. I just found the Strange Case series and I am working through all three. This was obviously the first one I did and I thought it was very well done. It was extremely challenging, which is something I find rewarding. The only feedback or criticism I can come up with was the ending of this game. It felt abrupt and it appears there are various ways this particular game could end but the player doesn’t really get a chance to do it without replaying the whole chapter. The mechanization/Code of the ending is a bit sloppy.

Look I haven’t played this game yet, and I’m already loving it. First off I’m onto puzzle strategy games. But I’m very cautious as too which ones I get since I do have nieces and nephews that grab my phone. Do anything with spirits, ghosts, or underworld stuff I’d definitely out of the picture for me and my little ones. SECOND - this developer should be applauded for being upfront about their purchasing or subscription fees. Many try to entice you by making you believe it’s free. If they’re not clear about their purchasing prices I just don’t bother at all. And the fact that this game is free and they’re upfront about it again STANDING OVATIONS TO YOU!!! Once I get to playing I’m sure I’m going to love it since I saw a friend of mine playing it as well and caught my eye which got me to look it up and download. Definitely keep making more games like these!!! I’m always up for a good puzzle strategy game challenge!

Most people seem to be rating 5 stars, which is fine, BUT I do have a big pet peeve personally. Sometimes it was difficult for me to know what I was looking for as the images don’t change when there is a change (I know this made no sense, let me explain). When you had to move the stones in Chapter 2, it would glow red when you got that part of the puzzle right, but when you would go back out to the room view, the stones were just regular. There were a few changes in room pictures, but mostly for things you would only go to once and then never visit again, (like the suitcase). Also one thing that was annoying is that for the last one, the place you used the cross, was not actually shown in the room image, even though it should of been visible. Those kind of made it hard for me to get around, but the puzzles were a good difficulty, easier at times, more difficult at other times. Overall, I enjoyed this and I do recommend it if you like these types of games. Also yes, this is obviously a Rusty Lake “inspired” and honestly a bit more than inspired... butttt you can still enjoy it.
