📖 THE STORY

Dr. Xetrov has been secretly researching on something. But recently, he has mysteriously disappeared. His assistant has reached out for your help. You need to figure out how to save human kind now that he's gone. But do it discreetly as it seems like another evil force also wants this great power...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

We love it when a game just starts immediately after we enter the premise. There's no game master or intro. You have to figure everything out yourself.
Just when we thought the space is a regular office/laboratory, the set design completely changed. We were surprised not once but TWICE by the transformation.
There was a clever way that the designers utilized transportation. I don't want to give away too much but it totally altered our perspectives on the room and puzzles.
The ending created a sense of urgency that tied in nicely with the storyline. We literally felt like we had to escape the premise as quickly as possible.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

We weren't sure how some physical puzzles tied in with the storyline (but it was still a fun exercise).
One of the puzzles we encountered didn't give a confirmation on if we had done it right or not and since there were several parts to that puzzle, it was difficult to figure out which was the one we missed.
We struggled with a puzzle that required two people to work together on. It was quite sensitive and we weren't sure if there was a logical way to complete it as this was the puzzle that took most of our time in the game.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

I loved the space utilization in this game. There's a lot of rooms and you can easily lose your orientation (but in a good way). When you come out of the game, you'll have a sudden realization at how and where you were able to escape from. We love that we were able to experience some ideas and puzzles that we haven't seen before. If you love Sci-fi and want something really unique then it's time to gather your team of explorers and enter the world of Apophis!
