🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Upon entering the room, it appeared to be a typical apartment. The unexpected paranormal occurrences that unfolded during the game caught us off guard. At times, we found it difficult to discern whether our eyes were deceiving us.

• There was a puzzle prop in the escape room that was unique and we have not seen it used before in other escape rooms. However, it was well-suited to the theme.

• The amount of jump scares in this room was just right, and the timing was perfect as well.

• In some places and during certain puzzles, the bravest player in the group will be essential. However, the most effective approach to overcoming this room is to divide and conquer.

• The conclusion sent shivers down our spines due to its multiple possible interpretations.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• While the props were all closely tied to the room's theme, at times we found the puzzles to be independent of the storyline. Apart from that, this game is quite well-executed.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

The sense of unease and curiosity now has us eagerly anticipating a possible sequel, hoping that it will provide the answers we seek and unravel the mysteries that still haunts us today.
