Glad I paid $1 or I would feel like I was robbed.
The game is small so I can’t give much detail without it being a spoiler. That said. The first play through is kind of interesting as you have no idea what you are looking for outside of gaining entry into rooms to ultimately escape the basement. I wouldn’t really call them puzzles to solve though. More like a scavenger hunt with a dying flashlight.
If you are into completion of achievements. This game is just monotonous in my opinion. I would have probably thought much higher of this game if not for the pointless achievements that make completionist feel compelled to clock more hours beating this random spawning object scavenger hunt with the gratification of reading a different news paper article on the closing screen.

TLDR: Grainy, Blurry, Dark. Keyfetch easteregg hunt on a 30 minute timer in small environment. Numbers and symbols puzzle annoying roadblock.
There are not nearly enough lore items to make this game recommendable. It is mostly just boring furniture and random kleenex boxes. The more interesting Satanic books and the occasional wall painting were alright.
The other easter eggs are small drivers license and little blurbs of printed text on sheets of paper. The multiple endings are just a different newspaper front page saying what the results of your escape from the serial killer’s dungeon were, which you can enhance with the police understanding the occult connection or even catching him.

Escape Simulator
Great and fun co-op game. the puzzle difficulty is just right. the interactivity with the environment is good (you can pickup some objects, throw them, inspect them together with co-op friends, but some object can only be drag around). Looking forward for the new level update from the developer and high quality workshop level from the community. I hope the developer would expand the capability of the level editor to facilitate that.
Update :
Ok, so the additional 58 hours since the first review was mostly (80%-90%) consisted of me trying to play around with the editor and eventually created a level in the workshop which you can find here :

Escape Simulator is one of the few escape room games that can be played with one or more friends, in online co-op mode. In fact, while the game can be experienced in its entirety in solo mode as well, it was clearly designed with the multiplayer feature in mind.
Escape Simulator is structured in very small one-room levels that are all available to play from the beginning (there are no requirements to unlock them) and which are grouped according to their theme. At the moment of the release, the game features 16 levels in total (a tutorial, and 5 levels each, belonging to an Egypt / space / Victorian mansion theme) with more to come in the near future (5 more levels have been announced as a free port-release path). Aside from this, players can create their own rooms and share them with the community, since the game also has a Steam-integrated workshop.

Escape Legacy: Ancient Scrolls
This was a really fun “escape room” game.
There are 10 chapters that you play. Each chapter you need to find clues and other items to proceed through the room(s) until you find the last room with the Ancient Scroll. This unlocks the next chapter, etc. The puzzles are mostly logical (easy to hard in no particular order) and progresses you through the levels at a nice pace.
At the end of each chapter, you receive a score for the amount of time it took you, number of items you found and level of difficulty you played. It then shows your ranking amongst all the players who have played.

I am a big fan of Escape the Room type games and this is one of the best I’ve played. The puzzles are challenging but fair and they are conceptual in nature (clues to match patterns, count objects, look at relationships between items, etc.). You play each level through on ‘Easy’ first which gives you unlimited time to explore. If you so choose, you can replay the level on ‘Normal’ and ‘Hard’ with decreasing time limits and less clues. The game definitely made me think and I became totally absorbed in beating each level and improving my scores.
