immersivealmost great

This game has the potential to be a great game but a few issues made it almost unplayable for our group. The theming is great and at times I really felt like I was inside an ancient tomb but some of the puzzles were too frustrating, or illogical. The worst thing of all, doing it in a 2 we only got given 1 torch - no idea why, if you’re already at a disadvantage, the makers of this game decide they need to make it even harder for you - makes no sense to me. Having middle aged eyesight and at times no torch made things impossible for me to see and the physical nature of the room meant that passing the torch between us was not something we could do easily. Afterwards, the host proudly told us that there are certain things that people always need help with - in my mind this should signal that there is a problem with these puzzles that should be addressed rather than just giving people help every time. One of the most frustrating games we have played because it does have a lot of potential.
