Hourglass Escapes: Nova

Mend your ship and save human kind!

This game was played in a 3d space (telescape) and then you navigated to screens where you had to solve a 2d puzzle. At some point there was also a seeking puzzle in 3d. 

Great puzzles though the story felt a bit weak. Not very escape room like - at least we don't play the kind of escape rooms where you bring in lots of screens :). We had to communicate a lot to not just make this two people solving puzzles near each other. No collaboration needed and since it was easiest and fastest to just divide the puzzles between us, we really had to fight that urge and make sure that we were both involved in the puzzle solving. For us it would have been a crappy experience if we had just done our separate thing - we play to solve things together. 

We really liked the ID-card and crystal puzzles and did not care for the puzzle that suggested you use a piece of paper. 

As a group of 2 experienced players we enjoyed the non-linear nature of the game. Nova comes packed with plenty of proper puzzles to solve, which we really enjoyed. The game doesn't necessarily have much narrative, however if you're looking for enjoyable and logical puzzles, this is the game for you!

Also, the entire game is illustrated with high quality graphic 360 environments.

Would deffo recommend!

Really enjoyed this online experience!  Lots of puzzles to keep us busy, and it was non-linear so we could spit up and work on different things.  Graphics were top class, and everything flowed smoothly and made sense.   I would recommend!
