Escape Room: Strange Case 2

The first thing I noticed whenI started playing this one is that the art is different from the first one which isn’t bad since I like both different styles but I just like my games to have consistent visuals. On top of whats different in this game is that you lose your green vision which could be due to how we lost our memories or if it’s game wise it works better later on. Lastly, the items aren’t vertically on the right hand side, its on the bottom right and I like that you get to change items with other items. Ok now on to my biggest issue is that as a Mobile player the chemist part is bugged out as I have not only figured it out but even watched the hint ads two times(4 ads in total) just in case and even watched the run-through and kept doing this without me being able to create my acid. To top this all off I don’t really enjoy the fact that I have to watch an ad to keep playing or to pay, I mean I understand it but its just overall bad in comparison to a rusty lake game which has easy puzzles, interesting concepts, no ad breaks, and has consist visuals and reoccurring characters. All though I understand that this developer isn’t trying to be a rusty lake copy cat and doesn’t have to be, especially since rusty lake has been at it for years Im still interested in their development and tried viewing these games neutrally its still easy to compare similar games. In conclusion, fix bugs on mobile devices and cant wait to see where you’re headed.

Overall i feel the game is much shorter than the first one - I was very exciting that I got the super power back and then the game ends not long after this, which made me quite sad. There seems to be much potential to carry the story further - I would hope to see more interactions with the psycho friend, or more tension with the doctor. The game control seems better - at least there’s no things-too-small-hard-to-click problem. There are some excellent puzzles, but in my opinion there are one or two puzzles I don’t quite get the logic (yet I was lucky to get it right.) Used 1 hint in the entire game. Saw some people complained about chapter 3 - I found if you accidentally enter the wrong ending, just close the app - it will be at the last state. (I thought there are multiple hints that the game is designed this way, and I don’t think it’s reasonable to blame the game on this.)

Loved this game and the previous. If you love escape rooms and a good story with a creepy vibe this is a great game. No purchases necessary, though you can choose to donate a small amount to the creator in place of a few ads, and you can play without wifi. Found the first game a few days ago and played through it quickly and was pretty excited to see the sequel just got released. They are fairly short which stinks, but I’m already very excited to see what happens next to the protagonist in the 3rd game. Loved the story and puzzles! Good job LabeledMan. Can’t wait for the next game!
