Sorry, don't like it. Disclaimer, I have always considered jump scares in a scenario to be unimaginative gimmicks and very annoying, so there's that. And I'm also not fond of dark rooms/bad visibility (unless darkness is part of the actual puzzle, then bring it on)! But seriously, why am I going from room to room, doing other people's chores like laundry and cleaning tables? I've played up to the point where I'm locked in the kids room (I think, too dark to be sure, and my patience ran out at this point and I deleted the game). Maybe it gets better, I don't know. Up to this point I feel like I've been doing house chores though...

From what I've seen, if you like horror movies, consider this an interactive horror movie and go ahead. But if you are looking for escape room puzzles, move on. I am not giving a thumbs down because there was work put in this, and it does say "horror" and "easy", but come on, this hardly begins to describe it!

I am not able to grab the pincer in the basement. That must be some bug/glitch?
It was a fun and unusual escape room up to that point! Good theme.

@Inseino Glad you liked it!

@Michela Sorry for the late reply, it sounds like the game glitched, it can happen sometimes unfortunately.

Gave it another go and realized what the cabinet is for during the chase. Managed the good ending. Great map again. Thanks.
Shrimps 19 Sep, 2023 @ 9:13pm 
Goosebumps! I definitely didn't think you could at any time escape the demon. Where exactly does this chase happen? Saw ghostly things a bunch of times playing through the map.

Hi, I can't take the tongs in the cellar room.. I broke the glass but I can't take it. Do I have to start over?

broooo this map had my cheeks clenched from start to finish. harder than the house of evil one. 11/10 way to scare me like that in fucking escape sim

This is one of my favourite escape maps ever, I enjoyed it very much.

非常糟糕的地圖 極度不推薦 :steamthumbsdown::steamthumbsdown::steamthumbsdown:
首先用了非常沒有意義的長走廊 導致偶爾會卡頓
一開始就是一堆房門 有些鎖著 有些沒鎖 沒有意義
到了第一個房間 就要去另一個房間拿道具 再回來這個房間 又再去另一個房間拿道具 再來這個房間
這跟解謎沒有半點關係 也會造成你不知道這個房間到底結束了沒
走了幾個房間拿來拿去就關掉了
非常糟糕 很不推薦 :steamthumbsdown:

Deus Benedicat! Fantastic map, so expansive, so many tasks to complete but nothing impossibly hard. Like some said, completing a task opens a new room or new puzzle, but unlike them I found that it flowed naturally and there were many hints to guide you. I had one glitch in the basement where I couldn't grab the pliers. So I threw the pry bar from all sorts of angles until it finally fell to the floor. Great fun!!!

Not me finishing with clenched teeth and my shoulders up to my ears... :EyeSmile::LipsSmile::EyeSmile:

@ irenemagozzi I am sorry for that I don't know why it's happening. I am working on an update for this map and a few things will be changed (the water bottle included).
irenemagozzi 9 Jan, 2023 @ 9:54pm 
Water bottle seems to be broken, no matter how many times I trided , I can´t made holly water :(

One of the best maps ever!

Really enjoyable to play! The plot and storytelling were unexpectedly cool for an escape room and it got me really interested in wanting to find all of the clues and figure out for myself what was going on! Thanks for the fun room!

@ LilWoolyW0rm The puzzle you need to solve is next to the box "toys" where you find the fuse. There are 4 blocks, 2 of them have the letters "H" and "E". The other 2 don't have a letter on them. You have to rotate them so that the letter "L" appears

I couldnt get past the dormitory door, I tried searching around for the puzzle described in the walkthrough but couldnt find it :(
Tarmo  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 7:52am 
@ 心善渊xy I need to know exactly where you are in order to help you
Tarmo  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 7:50am 
@ 心善渊xy the painting is at the basement and it appears once you trigger the candle in the table . Did you find a way to get to the basement?
心善渊xy 6 Nov, 2022 @ 7:21am 
I cant find the button in the paintings,so which one?
心善渊xy 6 Nov, 2022 @ 7:20am 
how to reach basement??
Jinshushei 28 Sep, 2022 @ 6:13pm 
Scare factor was definitely good. Didn't necessarily feel like an escape room but that's okay lol. I think the only issue I had was the flow of progression. It seemed like there was an early attempt at puzzle solving then immediately hits you with "just need to finish the story" and give you a bunch of items for linear/specific uses. I'm always down for more scary "rooms" though.
SinAscendant 29 Jul, 2022 @ 9:15pm 
Had a bug where I tried to use the crowbar on the boards in the basement and instead it threw the crowbar through the boards and softlocked me from progressing any further.
FirmTofuCube 20 Jul, 2022 @ 11:10pm 
Ran into a bug, we didn't realize how to put the fire out downstairs, until we came back up stairs. We were not allowed to go back down to put the fire out. We still completed the room, but the storyline felt incomplete since we didn't extinguish the ritual. Great room otherwise! Very spooky!
PIRO 10 Jul, 2022 @ 10:13am 
It might be 2 players bug, Idk, worked fine when I replayed solo
Tarmo  [author] 10 Jul, 2022 @ 12:00am 
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will try to adress the dormitory door issue once I am back from vacation.
sNipy 9 Jul, 2022 @ 4:16pm 
Really good level, pretty scary and very creepy. Thank you very much good job!
PIRO 9 Jul, 2022 @ 3:01pm 
Very good. immersive room, but we got some bugs (played with my friend). First the book didn't drop from the drawer and we had to restart (dropped second try; same appealed to the suitcase, but it was not important since there weку no important items in it). Then dormitory didn't open as another guy commented here. Overall very good if there were no bugs.
BananasAreDelicious 7 Jul, 2022 @ 9:20pm 
just played super fun! im just confused about the storyline would someone be able to explain
PSLion 26 Jun, 2022 @ 6:19pm 
I play with the Anti-3D Sickness settings turned on, which slows down the walking/running speed of the player character, so the traversing and backtracking through the orphanage was a long (and not particularly entertaining) chore. And the amount of time spent in darkness was also not appreciated from a gameplay perspective. Understand it for the theme but it was more a hindrance to the enjoyment than it was a help.
Shadeslay 26 Jun, 2022 @ 6:15pm 
Thanks for creating this!

Unfortunately, it was unnecessarily and excessively dark to the point of being unplayable at the end - which was really disappointing. There is nothing fun about stumbling around blindly in the pitch black and it sadly felt like a real slog.

Some of the items required to complete the puzzles etc don't appear or 'activate' until after you have solved other puzzles - which is quite confusing. Whilst there is some decent signposting - it didn't feel like it made sense.

Some nice design elements and audio - and a couple of nice puzzles too (in the Bishop's office, for example) - but also a lot of running back and forth in the dark collecting stuff.

This room was so much fun! I did it with my daughter and my bf. We scared a few times lol. Highly recommend !
Saya 23 Jun, 2022 @ 11:34am 
The you know what scared the shit out of me :lunar2020ratinablanket:
Tarmo  [author] 20 Jun, 2022 @ 3:22pm 
@ golgoth.panda Thank you!
golgoth.panda 20 Jun, 2022 @ 1:27pm 
Excellent room.
No bug for me. Works fine.
Thank you Tarmo.
(I finished it in one hour. Diffculty : between easy and medium)
Alcest 忍び 18 Jun, 2022 @ 11:21am 
@Tarmo it's ok, problems happen, it's a great room anyway!
Tarmo  [author] 18 Jun, 2022 @ 4:09am 
@ Skkall Sorry to hear that! I ran the room several times and didn't encounter that problem, I have no clue why it happened.
Alcest 忍び 17 Jun, 2022 @ 9:45pm 
@Tarmo Started a new run and then i got it :(
Tarmo  [author] 17 Jun, 2022 @ 8:13pm 
@ Skkall You need access to the library in order to get there, did you get past library?
Alcest 忍び 17 Jun, 2022 @ 6:54pm 
bro, the door to enter on the dormitory is closed in my map, think is bug...
Deadlockescapes.ttv 14 Jun, 2022 @ 5:52am 
This room jump scared the hell out of me !! Bravo !!! 12/10 !!!
Pomni Gaming 12 Jun, 2022 @ 7:00am 
@Tarmo Oh sweet, that must have been what I missed! Couldn't figure out the classroom puzzle for the life of me. ;-; I'll try it again now though! Thank you!
Tarmo  [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 4:22am 
@Ιmmortalia The key for the library is in the classroom. You get it once you complete the blackboard puzzle.
Pomni Gaming 11 Jun, 2022 @ 8:32pm 
How do you get into the library? I know it's probably really obvious but I just can't get into there.
Tarmo  [author] 11 Jun, 2022 @ 4:01am 
I updated the bookshelves, it shouldn't be possible to get stuck now .
Tarmo  [author] 11 Jun, 2022 @ 4:01am 
Glad you liked it @1Zullah
хомяк enjoyer 10 Jun, 2022 @ 6:01pm

great map - didn't encounter any bugs :steamthumbsup:
Tarmo  [author] 10 Jun, 2022 @ 4:56pm 
For anyone getting stuck in the bookshelves: pressing the bookshelves to move back will free you. I am looking for a solution but I haven't been able to find one yet.
harpjen 10 Jun, 2022 @ 1:13pm 
Enjoying this! I also got stuck in the bookshelves after pressing the button.
