Truthfully, I can’t really recommend Without Escape. But I’m not saying that because I found the game to be objectively “bad”. It’s not bad, it’s just… old. And I don’t mean old in the retro way. Some games just don’t age well, and Without Escape, try as it might, is one of those games. If you’re looking for a short, classically inspired point-and-click game, then maybe you’ll end up meshing well with this game. It isn’t terribly expensive, either. However, for those expecting a PnC with a bit more gravitas, this might not be worth your time.
Without Escape is the perfect dish for those hungry for classic 1990s puzzle adventures like Zork, Myst, et al. It does not over-complicate matters by bogging players down with convoluted puzzles, instead focusing on streamlining the experience and delivering a haunting setting that will stick in the mind long after completion. Hopefully now this has been polished to perfection, Bumpy Trail will work on a successor.
Το ίδιο άψυχο αποδεικνύεται τελικά και το σύνολο του τίτλου. Η ομάδα ανάπτυξης αποτυγχάνει να αναβιώσει το είδος με ουσιαστικό τρόπο, δεν εκμεταλλεύεται τα δυνατά του στοιχεία, δεν καταφέρνει να πει μια ενδιαφέρουσα ιστορία και τα παρατάει γρήγορα μετά από 1-2 ώρες. Ως έχει, δεν αποτελεί μια προσπάθεια αναβίωσης των αντίστοιχων τίτλων της δεκαετίας του ’90, αλλά τίτλο που έχει μείνει πεισματικά στο τότε, χωρίς ουσιαστικό λόγο.
