Escape From Mystwood Mansion Reviews

The interface is frustrating. I had to quit at the first checkpoint due to motion sickness and a headache.

Puzzle / Escape Room game done right! Puzzles are challenging, but not overcomplicated or unfair. Even when you just enter the room and feel overwhelmed with things to interact with, the flow of progression makes sense and feels natural Very much worth the full price money

Beautiful art style. Satisfying puzzles. Great way to escape for a few hours.

good short game :) some took my brain to much thought but some puzzles were so simple that i over thought the heck out of them. some puzzles you need to do after something else or in the right order for it to work that was a bit frustrating. got on sale which i would recommend, would want it to be longer for full price but i am a cheap bugger! thanks team!

These puzzles are some of the best escape room puzzles I've done. Very engaging and challenging, without being obnoxiously difficult.

Fun and engaging puzzle game! The puzzles made logical sense and did not seem to make leaps of logic to be solved. And it has a fun little story. If you enjoyed Botany Manor or Escape Academy, you'll enjoy playing this one!

Very charming puzzle game with uniquely themed escape rooms and a small store. Not difficult but kept me entertained. I liked [spoiler] concept of you becoming the new observer. very cute, felt like an homage to escape rooms [/spoiler]. Expect around a 4 hour playtime for "true ending". HOWEVER, the game could use a quality of life updates for managing key items and backtracking to previous puzzle rooms. Also I encountered one puzzle that was written incorrectly but was able to deduce the right answer using context clues.

Fairly standard (and short -- less than 5 hours) puzzle game. The description calls it an "escape room" game, although in my mind it qualifies as "Myst-like": you are given no instructions (except preexisting written ones) and there are no other people -- you interact only with objects in the gameworld. These are the specific observations that occurred to me, especially compared to other, similar games I've played: - Nearly all of the puzzles have a straightforward, rational solution: no Soup Cans or Moon Logic. In fact, there's one area you can get past by considering what you'd do if you were _actually_ stuck there (and there's an achievement for doing so.) - Some of the puzzles involve moving objects around. You can only carry one thing at a time, which gets tedious when this happens - The interface is a little finicky: sometimes the game _says_ you can pick up an object by clicking on it, but clicking won't work. - Furthermore, interactions are quite well-done for objects that are part of puzzles, but not so much for extraneous objects; if you pick up an object that's not part of a puzzle, for example, you can't always put it back where it originally was. - There are several secrets you can only get by being *very* observant. All in all, this was an enjoyable diversion for an afternoon.

Nothing mind-blowing, but still a pleasant escape room experience. I ended up liking it enough to [spoiler] get the secret ending [/spoiler] at the very least.

Fun game. The puzzles are challenging but not too difficult. It is annoying that there is no way to save the game. It auto-saves when you get to each new room. I normally don't have enough time to completely solve each room in one sitting. That means I need to go through the same process several times until I progress to the next area.
