Where most escape rooms just have one (you escape), this has multiple. It’s just you and the console, and a lot of different outcomes. Which is a fancy say of saying “button pushing simulator”.

I’d describe it as a fixed perspective escape room game. That said, I still wouldn’t describe it as a horror game. Your choices and actions will lead to outrageous consequences and over 30 unique puzzle endings.Įvery time I saw a warning on this game that read “Not for the faint hearted” I thought “Hah!

It’s just a game where you’re sitting in front of a console pressing buttons.” Then I found myself worshipping Satan, being scared out my mind by demon standing behind me, and watching the human race get wiped out… Repeatedly. Also present is an ominous red button with the simple instruction to not touch anything! Push the red button once or press it many times.
