Christmas Room - 1000 Doors

This is a kind of throw back to this dev’s older game style. Multiple simple & quick escape levels. But after a few levels, the puzzles seem to be repetitive. Tho I do appreciate it when an item is found...it is immediately put into inventory. The dev’s newer story-driven games are a dragged out with choppy stories and item-by-item seeking. And when picking up an item, it does a long, drawn out zoom on the item before slowly going into inventory. So I don’t play those games from this dev. I prefer this old-style of escape: find-clues/items to clear levels.

I was able to work through the puzzles except for Wax Stone- #15- South East. I was unable to select the crayons as was done in the walkthrough and therefore wasn’t able to continue. But otherwise the puzzles were solvable and most made sense.

I was excited to play this game based on the positive reviews but was quickly let down by the number of puzzles thrown at you in one room after room. Multiple puzzles want numbers you don’t have. Multiple puzzles want letters you don’t have. Multiple puzzles don’t activate with the items you have. You quickly use the hints you have - which don’t make sense- and then it’s time to spend money for hints. I’ve played many room escape games and this is NOT one of the better games. To improve this game: if you give hints then give COMPLETE hints/answers. An upside down “V” on a bookcase is not an answer. I’m not sure that the other letters worked because of the “v” but when I went through the list of letters the puzzle never solved. Same with the colored buttons. You can do better! I deleted this game after ten minutes of playing.
