About this game

▲ Recommended 5 hrs
Escape room, puzzle, science, difficult.

We find ourselves in a laboratory without knowing what happened, why is there no one there? and what are these strange creatures closed in the capsules?
As we explore this large futuristic complex, we notice that the various rooms are closed; we need password and solve various puzzles
to be able to escape from this strange place.

Single player escape room based on puzzles and enigmas, you can find the clues by looking around.
It is important to collect and read various emails that will give you useful clues and explanations about what was happening in the laboratory.
There are 5 rooms to complete to get to the exit:
1 Gravity Room
2 Electricity Rooms
3 Teleport Rooms
4 Nuclear Room
5 Fire Rooms
The graphics are very well done, real, full of details, it really feels like visiting a complex laboratory full of strange and complex machinery.

There are many puzzles of various difficulties, where you can interact you will notice that the pointer turns red.
There is a button with a question mark, if you click it will only give you a visual aid, so no clear explanations on what you have to do,
sometimes it's enough, for other puzzles no, the drawing shown leaves us confused.
The game automatically saves after solving a puzzle or entering a room.

As an escape room it is well made, quite fun, but don't expect a walk in the park, some puzzles require a certain difficulty
knowledge of algebra, the Fibonacci sequence, and scientific principles.
I would define it as the right game for little mathematical geniuses or for those who aspire to become one and are therefore not afraid to get involved!!!!!

A fun 'escape the rooms' with a variety of interesting puzzles that present different levels of challenge. For the most part, if you can't figure out a puzzle... keep going and you're apt to find a clue. With the exception of clues to unlock an area, everything you need for each room can be found locally. So, there is no need to traipse around looking for missed items. Your cursor changes to red for hot spots so there is some scanning required when you enter each new area.

The Lab is a facility with multiple locked rooms that become accessible as you complete other rooms. There are a handful of collectibles that would be hard to miss if you are observant and leave no puzzle unsolved before moving along.

The game auto-saves after each puzzle so there is no penalty for taking time off. Achievements are almost all story related and getting 100% should not be a stretch if you are paying attention.

The puzzles were straightforward, with just a couple of exceptions. Some basic algebra was required and you need to know what FIbonacci numbers are. Beyond that, everything you need is in the game, If you do get stuck, the development team has an in-game hint feature and a guide posted on the forum.

All in all, some good fun that will exercise your brain and will leave you satisfied. Plus, there is a 'feel good' moment at the end. I recommend The Lab to those who like puzzling their way to freedom!

Good Escape Room game. Quite a variety of puzzles and scenarios. Maybe some are a bit easy, but overall the game is satisfying.
