But this time I wasn't watching videos out of boredom, I was immersed in the newly discovered puzzle game “Alliance Detective”. I originally wanted to play two levels to relax before going to bed, but as soon as I closed and opened my eyes, it was dawn.
To be honest, I used to be a little biased against escape room mobile games. I always felt that either the painting style was too rough or the puzzles were too routine. But this game is really different. When you play it, you feel like you are lying in bed late at night slowly peeling an orange. Don't worry, just solve each problem one by one.
Each chapter in it is an independent secret room, so you don't have to worry about plot interruptions. It's especially suitable for people like me who can open it and play two games at any time. Moreover, new chapters are released every week, and every update is like unboxing a blind box. I played the level in the clock shop last night. The puzzle of linking hands and music was really well designed. The moment I solved it, my mind felt like it was electrified.
What makes me happiest is that it's completely free and there are no annoying ads that suddenly pop up asking for top-up in the middle of playing. The platform is 5.0, and my old phone runs smoothly. The developer is called Martian Interactive. The name seems to be quite middle-of-the-road, but the things it makes are not middle-of-the-road at all.
If you are a fan of this game, don't worry about the difficulty. It is not a hard-core brain-burning game that will keep you stuck for half an hour. Although it does require some thinking, the clues are very reasonable and can be solved by following the logic slowly. And I really feel a sense of accomplishment after solving it, which is much more enjoyable than watching short videos. A sister named Sunflower Bixin on the forum made a particularly good comment, saying that the designer is a genius and will never uninstall it as long as it continues to develop. After playing it, I also want to say that as long as this game keeps updating, I can stay up all night (no).
Final tip: If you also like to play some quiet but mind-numbing games before bed, you can really try this. But be sure to set an alarm clock, because you will find that it is much scarier than insomnia... It's dawn, I'm going to catch up on my sleep, good night (good morning?) everyone. 🌙
