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.

Alice Trapped Beyond Wonderland
A very interesting game, the puzzles are good, some of them are more abstract but usually you can figure it out if you take 1 thing at a time. I played the entire game in one video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tq7XLmEFow
It’s a magical world filled with beautiful castles and images, sometimes you see more “mature” things like a prison cell or an abandoned train but it’s great for kids and adults. The whole game is about 1 hour long, it will take most people 4 hours to beat. It’s great for this price

if something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s most likely a duck. and while alice trapped beyond wonderland looks like a hidden object game, it doesn’t have any quacking hidden object scenes, so I gladly took a gander.

The Pillar
In the words of James May: “No.”.
It’s a pity. The programming is competent. Good use is made of the Unity game engine. The environment is colourful and pretty, though completely ripped off of a well known game. Perhaps one could call it a tribute. I didn’t find any bugs, though I thought I did several times because the game design is a bit strange.
And that’s the problem. Numerous questionable design decisions spoil the game. It carefully explains how to solve a particular puzzle type, but presents a single use of that puzzle type which works differently. It features a bright, powerful, dangerous-looking laser beam … which in its first appearance shines right through where you have to be standing without harming you. There are a number of different puzzle mechanisms, one of which is so fast, and requires such a quick memory, that I cannot solve it without watching a playback outside the game. Things you change, change the environment with appropriate sound-effects, but you can’t see what changes because the game forces you to look away as it happens.

At first gland, the DEV is definately inspired by “The Witness”. The puzzles however start very easy and simple, but dedicated to be the same as all the others and yet slightly off. But when you progress deeper into the game, sometimes a bit more “challenging” the puzzles become.
The controls are a bit weird, but I could adjust it to a level on which I could work with. Same as for the sound, it was very loud at certain points. Music wasn’t constant, had to put other music in the background. Don’t like silent games.

Paranormal Detective: Escape from the 80’s
Nice puzzle game. If you’ve played other escape room type games, you’ll like this. Lots of 80’s references and humor throughout. I had to refer to a walk through twice: once for something I should have picked up on but the other was something I may have eventually stumbled upon what they were expecting you to do (tip: just play with everything extensively!)
Looking forward to the 90’s sequel, which is already waiting in my wish list.

This game is totally RADICAL DUDE! Just played through and I loved it. Great escape room elements with so much 80s. Such cheesy acting and there is even a rap to dance to. Don’t want to give away too much. Took me about 2 hours to complete. I did search pretty thoroughly for Easter eggs and such.
The game nailed what is wrong with so many escape games.
-
It has a great, fun story! This is lacking in so many.
-
Everything is polished and works well! (surprisingly hard to find)
-
A great length! I have played waaaay too many 15 to 20 minute experiences. This took me well over an hour to explore, complete the puzzles, and complete the end.

Project Cabin
A Very interesting game,at the start it seems to be a Horror Game but he isnt.
I hoped in a alternative ending but this game dont have them or i dont discovered them for now.
I hope the creator make another game

Wellp… I’m in two minds about this game.
On the one hand, there are pluses, which are few in number and which are rather subjective, but still:
-
lovely color spectrum that creats peculiar mood;
-
interesting ideas and details, especially these creepy snowmen.
On the other side, there is the whole Mount Everest of minuses. Bugs driving me crazy (red coins will appear in my wortst nightmares); a lot of pointless interactive subjects which don’t hold any secrets or don’t have any value for the plot (why? are they for distraction?); knowing absolutely nothing about the protagonist, who is he or she, what happend to him/her, why is the whole village abandoned, where do these creepy snowmen come from, what do they want, ARE WE EVEN ALIVE????? Ugh, so many questions, so little answers.

Last Will
BEFORE READING - - -
I HAVE completed all rooms available at the current time, so if this is read after the 30th, some things I say here may not be true or may not apply.
This is a very well put together game, the story is intriguing, the graphics are beautiful, and there are very few glitches and bugs that I have run into so far.
First up, the puzzles. The puzzles in this game are very challenging, and are well put together, some of them, however, admittedly do need some work. *cough * the bunker *cough * They are not too easy to figure out, and not too challenging that they are unsolvable within the time frame. One thing I would say is a complaint of mine are the ranges of difficulties in the puzzles, as in, one room you enter may have a super difficult puzzle, while the next one is a breeze, so I would suggest somehow structuring them from easies to hardest when running through.

I do so totally recomend this game.
Although, keep in mind that this game is focused on a specific kind of player. If you like puzzle games, if you like thinking and figuring out how to solve enigmas, then you will love the game. If you expect an easy path through a story telling experience like The Stanley parable, or if you do expect it to be some kind of immersive horror game with some puzzles like Amnesia, then do not try it, because you may be dissapointed.
The very best with the game is the amount of different puzzles and riddles, as for now (7 played hours, I know it is little, but the game is not that long either), I have not experienced all of them, and the developers are still producing more complex rooms.

Survival Escape Room
A fun horror game that actually made me jump multiple times. Not gory or overly-frightening so I’d recommend it to people of all ages. Excited for more escape rooms in the future!

Im sorry if I didn’t play it right or something but I got one jumpscare, got sent back to beginning and then finished the game with no problem. I will not really recommend this game as it took me 5 mins to complete. But if it was developed into something more, I will def take another look at it.

The Cubedex of Brass and Wood
Well designed, small puzzles to spend an afternoon on.

Some good puzzles with variations. Fairly short but very high quality. I liked the weights a lot.

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.
