Until I came across this crappy game - Escape Room 7 Around the World, hey, I can't fix it at once. Don't laugh, I'm a grown man. Playing this thing actually brought me back to the feeling I had when I squatted in front of my red and white computer, chewing popsicles and solving puzzles.
This game, for example, has a very small map and short levels, but it's this “short, flat and fast” style that really appeals to me. Nowadays, those AAA masterpieces give you a full two-hour tutorial at the beginning. The maps are so big that you can run a marathon. I can't even remember the plot. But what about this escape room 7? Just open it and start working. Each small room is full of puzzles waiting for you to solve. I think back in "Resident Evil" when I was trying to find the key to open a door, I was so scared that my palms were sweating. This game is better. As soon as the portal opens, my mind goes, wow, it works! The refreshing feeling is better than eating spicy strips.
Don't look at it, this picture is quite exquisite, but people don't rely on burning the graphics card to bluff people, they rely on their brains. Some of the puzzles were so designed that I was stuck on a broken clock for a long time, and finally found out that I had to hang the necklace. At that time, I almost threw away my phone. But then I thought about it, isn't this the competitive feeling I had when playing "Sokoban"? The more you use your brain, the brighter it becomes. It is infinitely better than those mindless automatic battles. 😎
Let's talk about the atmosphere, it's eerie and a little weird. As an uncle, I feel very scared when I play with it, but I just can't stop my hand from moving down. I remember when I was playing "Silent Hill", I turned off the lights in the middle of the night and put on headphones, and my legs were so scared that I had to hold on. Now this mobile game has regained that timid yet fun-loving energy.
The best part is, it's free! Zero dollars! Nowadays, any mobile game can't wait to give you a 648 recharge interface. This game is so clean that it only relies on the fun of solving puzzles to retain people. I was wondering, are the developers like Shenzhen Martian, like me, nostalgic for the time when they didn't need to spend money, didn't have to worry about daily life, and could have fun for a long time just using their brains?
If you also feel that the current games are getting bigger and bigger and more empty, you might as well give this a try. Don't think it's a small map, it's small but ingenious. Don't think it's too short, it's still fun. Anyway, after I finished playing it, I gave the game to several people, and they all said, "Damn, this puzzle is amazing." 😄
Okay, I have to go on to unlock the next secret room. There is a moving statue waiting for me behind the portal. I think back then... there were no smartphones at that time. Who would have thought that today we can solve puzzles anytime and anywhere? Have fun and cherish it, everyone!
