Escape Academy

In Escape Academy the player has just arrived at Escape Academy, a school that specializes in training students to become Escape Room Masters.
The game consists of a simple narrative designed to push the player forward from escape room to escape room. Each room is unique and presents the player with its own unique puzzles and challenges. There is a sense of urgency as rooms will sometimes have an overarching threat that will “kill” the player if they take too long such as the room flooding, burning down or filling up with poisonous gas. The controls at times can be “clunky” and laggy but they didn’t take away from my overall experience.
I enjoyed my time with Escape Academy but the game overall wasn’t anything special. If you’re a fan of Escape Rooms and puzzles and have GamePass this game is hard to not recommend.
Pros:
The escape rooms - their design, the puzzles and overall presentation
Cons:
The controls
The narrative
Played on: Xbox Series X via Xbox Game Pass
Review score: 3/5
