We did enjoy the game despite its problems at first, but when coming back to finish it a few weeks later our enthusiasm was completely gone.

(or said, if you are one of THOSE people when watching a movie)
Save me, jeebus. Yes! This! FFS, we're watching a film which involves listening to what they're saying unless it's a really old film and, even then, you don't want people shouting at persons on a screen who can't hear you, anyway. Plus, that lack of immersion thing again. I don't want to break my zone listening to you tell me what I can already see.

Have you played either of those? I'm curious if we would enjoy this one or if it would be even worse.

No, this was the first one I played. But I honestly won't be seeking them out. I think I would rather stick with the Exit series.barrowdown wrote: We enjoyed The Dungeon, but thought Monochrome, Inc. was step down in both story quality and a garbage central mechanism (the stupid elevator).
