Dream Escape - Room Escape 9+

Generally a pretty good game, it went beyond my expectations for it. Translation gets poor later on, storyline gets worse over time, the puzzles get a bit unreasonable at some points, controls can sometimes be janky, but otherwise it’s beautifully drawn and designed throughout, creative and challenging puzzles, and certainly a very creative storyline, for better or worse. Make sure to have a guide, you’ll need it. I’d say it’s probably worth the time, certainly worth the $0 price tag, and i’d generally reccomend it. Would be 5 stars if not for the translation issues, confusing storyline, janky controls, and lack of intense boss music, because it has great puzzles, challenging connections, great art and very few ads.

Im enjoying the game, but I do have one issue thats annoying. I bought one of the packs of hints, not the smallest one, but the next one up. I did it to both support the developers because I believe its only right to do so. But, also, I did it to get rid of ads.
It hasn’t. They are long and frequent intrusive ads.

Granted, it doesn’t specifically say that the ads will be gone when you buy a pack of hints, there isn’t anywhere I can find to purchase an ad free experience for this game. However, usually when one buys a hint package, that stops the ads. So, I like the game, but I’m disappointed i having to sit through the ads. I’m not sure how long I’ll keep playing.

Note to the developers: you should addresss this, there are lots of gamers who will not play games if they can’t get rid of ads.

As others have mentioned there are some parts of this game that are difficult to control and some that are just broken. There is a dominoes game where you have to place dominoes into the right slots while considering numerical values written on the side, but the UI outright rejects some of the placements even though they’re valid, so I had to watch ads to skip.

Other times there were items I had to pick up along the way that were unreasonably difficult to spot; I had to resort to tapping everywhere on the screen when I got stuck at some parts and only then could I get through. Adds some frustration for sure.
