Escape From Ithara Reviews

pretty much meh... the only thing you are escaping from is to finally finish it so it auto closes.

I cannot stand these games with the tiny little cursor! I can even find it half the time

Even for an early access this game is not great. Unability to drop items, inbality to save, and just a mess overall.

The game drops you into a plus-shaped walkway with four rooms to explore. In the first room, there's a maze with lots of switches. Each switch opens and closes some doors. Each door takes 10+ seconds to open or close, making this area excruciatingly boring. In the second room, there's a simon-says puzzle. When you solve that, there's a "pick the correct items" puzzle. When you pick up an item, you can throw it across the room with Q to drop it. The game never tells you this fact, which is why, in the videos of this game on Youtube, people just keep carrying the items around with them until they give up. When you solve this puzzle... nothing happens. In the next room, there's another "find the correct item" puzzle. When you solve this, there's a "rotate these pillars to match the pictures" puzzle. When you solve this... nothing happens. In the final room, there's four pedestals you can put orbs on, which can be found lying around the map. When you put all four orbs on the pedestals... nothing happens. At some point during solving these puzzles, the floor in the center of the map raises up a little bit in the shape of a hollow circle. If you walk over it, you get stuck in the center and have to restart the game. The game has no save feature, so you have to start over from the beginning. At this point I quit, because as far as I could tell I had beaten all the puzzles but nothing else was happening.
