#Escape from the catacombs walkthrough series
The series to which this title belongs, Exit: The Game, follows a pretty similar format throughout its thirteen iterations to date (with even more on the way) you’re initially presented with a mystery or horror based setting and your goal is to solve or escape it through solving puzzles, manipulating objects and piecing together the games logic. This review will be as spoiler free as possible but may refer vaguely to things in the box. I am primarily reviewing The Catacombs Of Horror here, but the things I talk about will apply to most, if not all of the previous iterations too. The pressure is on then for any game with only a single opportunity to impress you. Alternatively, a game that feels tight and well made initially can unravel quickly, becoming something you never want to play again. A complex game can present a fantastic experience but only after enough play and activity have been invested. This presents an interesting dilemma, as to understand how successful a game is generally is to see how it fares over time.
This game, and all of its predecessors in the series, caused me to forego a major rule of mine for reviewing games always play many times.
