Game
Another game that taps into the trend of Escape rooms. The unique Japanese style and the way the story is told give it a slightly childish and quirky appearance. But don’t be fooled! This is one of the absolute best escape games we've played. Relatively difficult yet logical puzzles and a story (even if it's a bit silly) that you want to know the ending of.
The game might be a bit short, but it compensates for that by also offering DLCs that add more rooms.
Co-op
Two players can play through the entire campaign together. The experience is just as one would want it to be, with both players fully involved in everything.
The only thing we might miss is that some parts could have been more asymmetric (for instance, players seeing a puzzle from different angles). But that's really more a matter of taste.
