Review-ESCape Prologue





Date Released-2009
Developer-Kevin Gu
Genre-Escape, Adventure

ESCape Prologue is an independent escape game created by Kevin Gu, who's currently working towards a degree in Computer Science in the University of Waterloo and Business Administration degree from Wilfrid Laurier University, according to his website here.

The game revolves around an unknown stick figure, wandering around a seemingly abandoned house. The game uses simple arrow keys to move and space bar to interact with the environment. The game has many puzzles laid throughout the house, keeping you interested. The game ends with you blowing up the front door, along with a surprising ending, which I am not going to spoil here.

The game is definitely one of the more interesting escape games. The simple style of the game has an innocent charm to it. The puzzles are engaging, involving you walking around the house to solve them. The house isn't big, so the puzzles aren't tedious, either. The dramatic music sets the mood of the game, creating a very passive yet persistent atmosphere, and I applaud Mr. Gu for his choice of music. While the game isn't spectacular by any means, I personally enjoyed this game, and if you enjoy quick and simple escape games, this is definitely enjoyable.
