Very, very, very good! Play it here: http://exitcorners.com/
A pleasant surprise of a game. As a visual novel, its story doesn't disappoint at all. Without spoilers, all I can say is that it's great, the characters are well-written and the pacing is good (it grabs you!). Its themes are sometimes a bit philosophical, and I was pleased to discover that the in game discussions around them aren't shallow or condescending at all.
The puzzles are well integrated and the hint system is awesome, where you talk with your fellow game participants (it's one of those death games VNs ala 999 btw) and try to solve the puzzles with their help. It feels very natural and provides as many or as few hints as you need. I have yet to see a better one in any other game.
Of course, it's not perfect, (some few hiccups with the story and some puzzles) but come oooon. Play it!
