That was pretty entertaining. I love escape room type games. I also enjoyed the horror aspect (but I mean, what escape room doesn't invoke a bit of horror?)But for a lot of it I wanted to test the "I guess I die" options. I like how you added some variety to the endings as well.
The project was almost playable till the end until I couldn't go back to find the code for the door. User-friendly and well written. The theme is clear and effective. It is suspenseful and thrilling.
Viability: game is playable beginning to end, fun storytelling. Setting builds great suspense, adds to the immersion. Elements work well together.
Presentation: user friendly, fun exploring the story.
Theme:There’s the clear narrative that actions have consequences; insightful regarding taking surroundings and perception into decision making. Choice and reward is neatly tied with actions.
Engagement: engaging, the deaths or game overs make you have more questions which is the foundation for sequels.
A lot was kind of happening all at once, but it was nice to see just how many exploration options we have as the player. It feels like a point and click style game, in a way. I liked, also, that you could choose to stay at the end! The narrator being like "Now you're here with me forever" after there not having been much of a presence for it felt a little disconnected, but otherwise I really enjoyed it! (PS- I loved that you could just look in your wallet and die that way!)
Viability: I can get to the end of the game and did die once. (The death was silly,) The games elements work.
Presentation: The flow of moving around in the game is fine. I think there could be more mechanics but it's user friendly.
Theme: I think the general passages work well for the scenes, but the Stanley Parable like elements need a bit more polish. They kind of pop out a bit too much. maybe ad some more visual flair!
Engagement: Fun during my playthrough, but I think more elements added to escape would be fun.
Stakes are high! This is funny! I took the ending where I die sad cause I have no money. I think you get the basics. Let's see where these concepts take ya. Good sketch!

Your game was very well written being very complex and very fun to play. You've translated the idea of an escape room into a text game amazingly.
