Very nice "remote play" escape game. My friends and I had a great time; the story is quite funny and the game master role-playing skills are excellent.
The game has been specifically designed to be played remotely and the gaming experience is outstanding. The standard resolution time is around 40 minutes which makes the game a very good candidate for a first try at online escape games.
I'm usually put off by games with a large inventory system but this one was very different as it blended the investigative parts of many whodunnit digital games into your remote livestream and this allowed you to use the information gained from the web to se in the room and vice versa.
The GM was very good at keeping in character and I particularily liked the way he incorporated the time checks into the narration, no breaking of character here to tell you that you've only 15 mintures left!The entire game builds nicely to a frenetic end which will have all of your teamworking hard. All in all an excellent game.
The game is originally in French and live, but the translation to English and online is superb. These guys did more than just adapt a few puzzles to online play; many of the real room puzzles have been replaced and supplanted with several experiences and challenges that can only be done online, meaning that you don't come out of this feeling "boy, that was a pretty good room but I bet it's even more fun in real life." The avatar character is a pretty standard "clueless hapless piece of meat" that many of these avatar rooms have, but here Bob (that's his name) also has a few enthusiastic aspects and quirks that makes him a memorable character -- for example, the sections where Bob gets phone call on his cell and therefore stops listening to you when he's on the call feels like it should be infuriating, but actually added to the immersion and charm for me. The new stuff isn't for everyone -- I can imagine some teams finding one challenge near the end tedious and frustrating -- but it worked very well for my entertainment.
