Steam reviews

What players say

Free co-op escape room with clever, fair-feeling puzzles; most players enjoy it, though some find hidden collectibles, dark rooms and a few illogical solutions frustrating.

Most players enjoy the puzzles, which they describe as varied and well designed, with a satisfying mix of difficulty; many say they are challenging without being unfair. Players like the playful humour, the sewer setting and hunting for the hidden rat collectibles, which some find clever and others fiddly. Playing with friends or family is a common recommendation, since puzzles can be split up. Complaints centre on puzzles with illogical or hard-to-spot solutions, dark rooms that hide clues, and a few technical issues such as awkward controls and one report of heavy GPU load. Several reviewers note the story connects to the paid predecessor. Steam's totals are very positive.
