NOX – Escape Games

Decent game, however it does not warn of its themes of child abuse or horror elements anywhere. Fairly intuitive gameplay (though I used hint system often due to my spotty memory) with a story that rewards its player for paying attention. It is short though that means it never overstays its welcome and while the ads took me out of the story or had me forget what I was planning to do, they are necessary for keeping the game free which I appreciate.

The game is pretty nice overall and entertaining but it’s annoying with how you have to figure out what hint is in which room and where the hinge belongs to. I don’t remember where any of the rooms are and even the map doesn’t help me out so i’m spending most my time in the game trying to figure out what room i have to go to. It’s also pretty annoying that you could be in one room and need a hint and all the hint says is “the hint is in ____” and it would be in a room half way across the map that’s difficult to get to/remember how to get to because of how many hidden rooms are in other rooms. The storyline i’m not really paying any attention to because i just want the puzzle not the storyline. There’s also a lot of useless sentences about things you click on that you can’t skip through. It gets annoying but the game is somewhat fun

Just the kind of game i was looking for. It was very relaxing and had less ads than similar games I’ve played

love the atmosphere and its tons of fun! Obligatory 5 stars for an awesome indie game lol I would suggest adding more tips for where you're supposed to continue (specifically the clock puzzle bc I spent so long there) Maybe add dialogue that says: "I don't know the solution...yet." for when the player doesn't have the correct items?

At first I was like “oh great, I love puzzle and escape games!” I love that the hints are free, and the fast travel. Watching the end, I was, like, speechless. I don’t even know the words to describe the emotions it made me feel. It’s a beautifully made game, and the storyline is amazing. I had no problems with the gameplay, there was a reasonable amount of ads, and the controls were simple. Overall it was just awesome.

The puzzle game has surprisingly many positive reviews. The game is unfortunately pretty badly produced from the graphics to the room control. The details are lacking as is the finesses. I have played a lot of escape and puzzle games and I want to finish them once I have started. But this time I actually quit because it was tedious to navigate, boring to solve and really overall unimaginative. Was looking forward to the game but cannot recommend

Thank you for your blood sweat and tears, I know this must have come from a place of real pain and also love. Full spectrum of enjoyment and delight. Thank you.

I really liked this game. It was so long! The hints were great, starting off with simply “your next quest is in X room” and then increasingly more specific. There are ads but they weren’t so many as other games I’ve ended up deleting. In fact, it was probably good for my eyes, as otherwise I had a hard time peeling myself away! I did wish I could be closer to the rooms - more IN them even when not observing an object. I really liked the “fast travel” option bc I got so lost in there. Keep making games!

i get what you were going for, and i cant complain to much about the story as it did have me interested and wanting to know more. the ending cutscene imo was fine i guess but some thing were told so plainly obvious when we already got the clues. the point is to let the world building reveal little hints and pieces then FILL IN the gaps with the answers (or maybe lack there of) in the end. meanwhile we just got regurgitated what we already find outwhich just made me let it play until something new was being revealed.... and then the puzzles itself... its not that theyre hard but some things are un explained and unintuitive. how am i supposed to know that you can drag things in the room,how am i supposed to remember that when those are so few and far between? the map is so big i forget where anything is even worse some things are so small or blend in that were just completely missed. the end was the worst because i knew exactly what to do but for the life of me i did not know where the first letter of the code was because it was so small vague and unmemorable unlike the other clues. i even remember seeing the letters throughout my journey. but, i could not be bothered to fast travel to every other single room to find it then to just end up missing it cause again, its hard to see so i just gave it to myself. overall theres a lot of potential, things like dragging and tilting are fun, and if a new game is made similar to this i hope it can fully live up to what this couldve been.

Loved the music and story behind this game (spoiler) the mc getting over his past and the connection with the house May or may not have been the police questioning him or his memory itself just questioning him but i feel this is just a perspective on a murder case and how it connects to his past
