This game was very… meh.

It was sold to us as being scary so we were really looking forward to it. It’s not scary at all.

Some puzzles just made no sense at all. Also, one of the locks didn’t work, to the point where the girl literally put the code on the screen. We said “yeah, that’s what we’re doing” and eventually she came into the game… turns out, the lock was either broken or the code had been changed accidentally by previous team.

Really didn’t enjoy this at all.
