Can You Escape? is an intriguing puzzle game that challenges players to find hidden clues and objects to escape from a series of rooms.
Escape the Room
In Can You Escape?, each level presents a unique room filled with a variety of clues that guide you to your escape. The player's mission is to uncover hidden objects, such as keys or tools, which can be used or combined to manipulate other objects in the room. For instance, a drill and a drill bit, or a camera and a memory card may be combined to create a new tool. The game also includes code-cracking and picture puzzles, adding diversity to the types of challenges you'll face. The game is composed of 10 levels, each with its own set of intricate puzzles. Although the game can be completed in about an hour once the player grasps the format, the developer has committed to frequent updates with new rooms to escape from.
Control Your Escape
The control system in Can You Escape? is user-friendly. Players simply tap a part of the room to interact with it. If the tapped part is interactive, the view will zoom in. Collected items are stored in an inventory on the right side of the screen. To use an item, the player taps on it and then taps on the object they wish to use it with. However, the game could benefit from incorporating more gesture-based controls for more interactive gameplay.
Visuals and Sounds
While Can You Escape? cannot be deemed as graphically spectacular, it offers a neat and detailed presentation comparable to similar games like 100 Doors or The Floor Escape. Its jangly guitar soundtrack, however, can become repetitive after extended play.
Final Verdict
Can You Escape? is an addictive puzzle game that provides a solid mental challenge. Although it could benefit from additional levels, its gameplay is more in-depth than many other escape room-style games currently on the market.
