Brother, when I saw this "Escape Room Series 8 Hotel Horror", the DNA of my old arms and legs suddenly started to move. I think there were no smart phones at that time. I squatted in front of the red and white computer to play "Legend of the Demon Realm". In order to find a broken stone that could be stuck for three days and three nights, my mother beat me with a feather duster and I didn't even take it with me when I moved home. Now as soon as I get started with this game, hey, that familiar smell is back!
You said that these days, all mobile games are like krypton gold sow assembly lines, and I wish you could just tap the screen and three recharge windows would pop up. But this "Hotel Horror" is different. At that time, what we focused on was "brain burning", "plot", and the enlightenment when we pieced together the clues. There are nine tenants in this game, each wearing a mask to play psychological warfare with you. Xiao Jiujiu is hidden in every detail including photos, diaries, and bloody writing on the wall. Let me tell you, this feeling is the same as when I was thinking about the symbols of ancient civilization in "Atlantis".
What surprises me the most is that this game actually incorporates "choice" into a key node. It's not the kind of fake option that's perfunctory, it's the kind of cruel thing where if you choose the wrong one, the plot will really turn you around. At one level, in order to save a pitiful-looking girl, I almost let myself in as the tenth tenant. I was so frightened that I quickly turned the whole house upside down. The feeling of sweaty palms and rapid heartbeat has never been so exciting before when I played "Clock Tower".
I remember this developer Martian. In this era where even games require quick and easy recharge, I dare to seriously make an old-school puzzle game that pays attention to logic and narrative. To be honest, it is quite rare. When you look at the prompts, we called them "strategies" at that time, and now they call them "spoilers," but the feeling of relying on your little brain to reason step by step, and finally letting out a sigh of relief has really not changed. The charging model is 0, and there are no advertisements. Where can I find such treatment in this day and age?
Finally, I would like to advise young friends: Don't always think that pixelated style, slow pace, and plot-oriented movies are outdated. If you are used to the exhilarating feeling of playing a game of 9999, go back and try this kind of game that requires you to calm down and compete with a bunch of clues. You will understand why your parents were able to sit with a little bully for eternity. I won't say much more about this game, I will continue my battle of wits and courage with the old man in the black mask. Remember, wear your mask, but never become one of them. 🤪
