I loved this game, the atmosphere and soundtrack really make you immersed in this doomed version of earth you're trying to escape. This being scriptwelder's biggest game yet, I was worried it might feel too bloated considering he's always been good at shorter experiences, but I was so wrong. The way he brings ideas from the original Don't Escape games and even his Deep Sleep series, mashing together ideas and plot points, to make a fully realized sequel to BOTH was nothing short of fantastic to play through.

Plus the gameplay has gotten a huge boost from both series, having to manage more of your items since you now have carrying weight. Even the puzzles have gotten a boost where I actually had to sit down and think about them for a little bit to actually figure them out. So many of this games systems are rewarding, and actively encourage being optimal.

I would love to sit here and gush more about this game, but genuinely if you haven't, play this game, I don't wanna spoil anything, it is worth so many more people's time.
