    Without Escape is the perfect dish for those hungry for classic 1990s puzzle adventures like Zork, Myst, et al. It does not over-complicate matters by bogging players down with convoluted puzzles, instead focusing on streamlining the experience and delivering a haunting setting that will stick in the mind long after completion. Hopefully now this has been polished to perfection, Bumpy Trail will work on a successor.

    The few complex puzzles in Without Escape tease a more involved room-escape adventure with greater potential, but as it stands, there’s simply no escaping the fact that it isn’t much fun.

    I am not usually a fan of point and click games but Without Escape provided a demo and I liked the story and tense vibes it was going for so II am not usually a fan of point and click games but Without Escape provided a demo and I liked the story and tense vibes it was going for so I bought the full version. It isn’t without flaws but at the very least if you enjoy horror games or point and click games I would advise to try the demo and give it a go.

    The puzzles are for the most part well done but there are a few that kind of annoying as they fit that stereotype of point and click games where you ask yourself why only that one solution would work. For instance you need a key to get into the main character’s closet. My first question is why doesn’t this person know where the key to their own closet is, let alone why is it locked, but I also ask why I have to find the key at all ? This door looks pretty flimsy, enough so that if I were in the main characters shoes I would just kick the door in or throw my body into it to smash it. Stuff like that is a minor thing though and didn’t make me dislike the game. I enjoyed the progression of the story and how the puzzles seem to fit together. I got a kind of “Event Horizons” or “Hellraiser” feel from it. The end of the game does feel a bit rushed though and kind of out of left field. Overall the game isn’t very long, about 1-2 hours for me, but the ending could have been explained a little more.

    The game didn’t crash on me at all. It didn’t have any graphics options aside from film grain and resolution. You can manually save at any time by going to the picture above the stairs but there is just one save file that gets overwritten each time and later in the game you lose the ability to save for the last 10 minutes or so. I played the game on Linux.
