Theres a bug in the surgeon room where you cant rotate the mirror that reflects the laser, makes the puzzle unbeatable and i cant seem to fix it

A lengthy but worthwhile endeavor, with a compelling story. I'm not a fan of jumpscare escape rooms, but atmospheric horrors are intriguing, and I enjoyed following the events that led to the narrator's slow descent into madness. Also included is a happy ending, which is rarely seen in the tragedy genre.

Most puzzles were intuitive but challenging, although I struggled with the electrical connection puzzle on the wall. In the mathematician's room: as others have noted, in most cases, the three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. But in light, the three primary colors are red, green, and blue (thus the use of RGB in TVs/computer monitors). My favorite part of this escape room is how some creators will compartmentalize puzzles, but include item elements of different puzzles, so that you must consistently switch tack; the feel of multitasking makes me feel smarter, haha.

All in all, a brilliant map by Brengo, even better than Stroke of Genius and Plastic Paradox. Well done!

Works really well with four players too, enjoyed that a lot with mates earlier. Thanks!

There is a Horror tag, how "Horror" it is? Is there any jumpscare or something?

Awesome Room. Best Room So FAR. Wow. This review is not AI generated

I played the first iteration of this map and loved it. This remake, however, manages to out do the original! Bravo and thank you for the chance to play this room anew!

This must have taken so much time and effort to create! A truly astonishing world and story you have created with so many different puzzles and mechanics! Amazing job!

Great room, highly recommend

Got stuck inside a filing cabinet in the surgeon's room and had to quit :(
Drevoed 12 Jun, 2024 @ 9:42am 
The map is creative, but the first room's difficulty was too easy for my taste, didn't finish the rest.

Didn't expect to hear Far Cry 5 theme music here, but it fits nicely
PetTheDog 17 Jan, 2024 @ 7:20pm 
great puzzle! I really hope you do a bunch more.

My only quibble is the electrical puzzle on the wall, unless I missed it, there is no hint for how to solve it. I had to watch the video and I still don't understand why that one random pattern worked
JimDucky 31 Dec, 2023 @ 9:46pm 
One of the best rooms I've played, just an outstanding job!
Baldy 17 Dec, 2023 @ 7:32am 
The mirror in the surgeon room wont move freely, I can't proceed and finish the map

Absolutely incredible in all regards Brengo. As an all-around room, this easily one our favorite rooms that my duo has ever played. It truly stands on its own as essential content for Escape Simulator.

The puzzles were all fantastic. The 2D attention to detail with notes was wonderful. The puzzles were all very well done, unique, and solvable without a guide. The gadgets that you created were all fabulous The atmospheric transitions & environmental story telling between was a great little touch. I truly loved every moment of it and did not expect more and more and more to keep coming, especially after how excellent the first 4 puzzles were .

Not sure if on purpose, but I'll throw out a welcomed red herring I encountered Before finishing my survey, I assumed an acid-potion solution would be needed from the potion mixing puzzle for the broken pipe. Turns out, you can't get that number range and can only make one potion

Easily one of the top room I ever played.

If there are any little children in elementary school and getting confused by this map, rest assured that green is indeed not a primary color unlike what this map's creator seems to be thinking.

Hello, the mirror in the surgeon room doesnt seem to free rotate for me. I can't open the door because of it, am I doing something wrong here?
Snotch 21 Sep, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Really great job putting that together, we got hung up a few times!
Brengo  [author] 18 Sep, 2023 @ 5:12am 
mathematicians: Lasting hope, Kevin Macleod

surgeons: come play with me, kevin macleod

What are the songs used in the researchers, surgeons and mathematicians past?

sergeon room laser bug
zstormyz 10 Sep, 2023 @ 6:37am 
I really really love this map! It was interesting and challenging through different rooms. Only thing i didn't like was the start, solving the connection took quite awhile but after that really flow-y and fun! 9/10 <3
Brengo  [author] 21 Aug, 2023 @ 6:54pm 
The researcher's past? that song was a cover of a song from Farcry 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f45m84FaQA
NavyWhale 21 Aug, 2023 @ 6:16pm 
That song in the pt.3 lock replica room tho.
Sir Digs 25 Jul, 2023 @ 2:15am 
Great room, got stuck on the lock pins for a good bit because didn't think with portals but finally finished it. Great job.
USPO 24 Jul, 2023 @ 4:15pm 
The puzzle with the light and the visible numbers doesn't make sense? It's like the solution is far more basic than it should be and you don't even need the changeable light to persist...
Joshie ⚞ᴥ⚟ 19 Jul, 2023 @ 11:11am 
Incredibly laggy map. 1080Ti, 2700x.
Dennis.b93 9 Jul, 2023 @ 8:50am 
Amazing room! However, if you want to head back to a level at a later time, there is only one key and only one person can use it. The other one's left behind in the office :(
Brengo  [author] 8 Jul, 2023 @ 6:34am 
....whoops, may have forgot to update that lol
M1ka[B]0Sh1 8 Jul, 2023 @ 6:14am 
Well it is not quite 5 minutes long as stated in the play time... But awesome map nontheless
텔다스 6 Jul, 2023 @ 11:58pm 
재밌음
Bran - The Impaler 2 Jul, 2023 @ 7:36pm 
Man, what an AMAZING map, it's a shame there's no save option bc I'd like to stop in a stage and resume later.
I'm obligated to start from scratch :(
Brengo  [author] 1 Jul, 2023 @ 7:18pm 
If I could find a way to increase performance in the room, I would. There is just a lot of stuff in the room that I couldn't optimize it any further. Thanks for playing, though.
BlackBruno 1 Jul, 2023 @ 6:02pm 
30 fps and a really long wait, very good map anyways
StabbySavi 29 Jun, 2023 @ 8:26pm 
amazing room! some puzzles are very difficult and not very obvious where to go at times, but am still amazed at the length, story, and depth of the room! great job!! :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:
Brengo  [author] 28 Jun, 2023 @ 6:47am 
this map differs significantly from the first maps enough where it doesn't matter. If you want to play the first map, go ahead.
Big Hungry Chicken 28 Jun, 2023 @ 6:45am 
Should I play this in place of the first map or as well as the first map?
LiquidSynapse 24 Jun, 2023 @ 8:01am 
Absolutely brilliantly made, I enjoyed the escape room simulator rooms, but this is on a whole new level, more rooms, smarter puzzles, amazing!
Monkey_Chicka 23 Jun, 2023 @ 10:34pm 
Really great room! And I am having flashbacks to other rooms I have done here, but in a good way. I agree with jerry in that the electricity circuit thing near the fireplace could have used a little hint as to where the larger circles should be, so I had to look through the walkthrough there, but this may just be a limitation of my own brain. :) Well done!
francined 22 Jun, 2023 @ 4:28am 
Great map. Just one thing: I know this is a remake of three rooms and it is surely immersive this way, but having a checkpoint system in place to get back to at least one of the three main "phases" would make this much more accessible. I know I checked a couple of hints in the last section, which I usually would not have, because I really needed to finish playing and some of the puzzles make it quite time consuming to redo this from the beginning, even when you have already found the solution once. Having said that, great "room" and I will surely try and play your other creations. Thank you!
huip 21 Jun, 2023 @ 12:17am 
Wow Great map cost me all evening to solve this, was very fun to do.
This deserves a prize !
noliterally 17 Jun, 2023 @ 10:32pm 
BEST MAP my friend and I have played in the entirety of this game. love love love <3
LaKraken 16 Jun, 2023 @ 9:00pm 
Great map. Not simple but very solvable. Just enough story to be intriguing without being overwhelming.
