Scholar's Mate Reviews
Scholar's Mate puts you in a cramped scenario filled with pursuit and hard escape room puzzles to solve. While this sounds good, this game may not be for everyone, Pacing can feel uneven, and the constant pursuit can be aggravating when trying to solve multiple puzzles. Still, there's something fun here for horror fans and puzzle lovers, especially since the game only asks for $12.99.
If you want to have a good time scared on Halloween and solve Escape Room style puzzles, but intuitive in company and you are one of those who have a hard time with horror games, perhaps this somewhat light proposal from Jandusoft is for you, but for those who are looking for a hardcore experience full of jump scares, they will be disappointed.

Scholar's Mate is an interesting entry in the horror genre, blending an eerie atmosphere with escape room gameplay, but its tricky puzzles might not be for everyone.
Overall Scholar’s Mate provides a very different take on an escape room game. With a tense atmosphere and plenty of puzzles to keep your brain busy. However, I will say the game is quite short and offers not much else apart from this. The audio is where the game shines and is a positive to take away from the experience. I hope the developers use this well in their upcoming games! If you are looking for a quick experience and to spend a small amount of money to keep yourself entertained then Scholar’s Mate will reach that expectation!
While the story left some threads loose and the relentless pursuing grew tiresome, Scholar's Mate conjures an unnerving atmosphere through its grim confinement. Deviating escape rooms and a gruesome antagonist make it a decent diversion for horror fans seeking a unique challenge.
This is an indie horror game that has nothing to envy of others, with a constant degree of tension and puzzles at the level of the best horror Escape Rooms.

Finding your way out of an abandoned asylum is always frightening, especially when an unexplained killer is hunting you. The puzzles are challenging and you are constantly on your toes because the enemy is lurking. Unfortunately, the complexity makes gameplay frustrating and the game isn’t long. For a short horror room experience, this game delivers a satisfying experience.
