There’s a co-op mode, even, so you can be trapped in these escape rooms with a chum, which sounds absolutely fantastic. But on my own, Escape Simulator offers a far more tangible sense of the feeling of playing a real-world escape room, one spaceship aside, keeping things within the realms of possibility. Ooh I can’t wait for that DLC.

Escape Simulator is a huge surprise—what started as an unassuming game has turned into several hours of great fun, whether you’re playing solo or with others. The nearly limitless scope for using your imagination is admirable, and the official levels have their own unique charm. Unfortunately, physics can sometimes play tricks on you, the whole game occasionally crashes, and—most of all—that annoying soundtrack just won’t stop playing. If you’re a fan of escape games, this one’s right up your alley—and I’d say it’ll keep you entertained for a very, very long time.
