User Reviews for NOX – Escape Games

A bit dark but lovely

a majority of the puzzles were easy for me to figure out with problem solving and the occasional hint, the only thing i felt difficult was the part in the laboratory where you need to make the contents of the green vial with the blue flowers from outside (which aren’t very noticeable). the storyline was extremely intriguing, there were a few grammatical errors in the dialogue though. in the basement when you need to use the screwdriver to open the vent it didn’t work for me till after i used the hint, using items should be less difficult. and i feel like you should put a warning in the description or at the beginning of the game describing that it may trigger those who have undergone childhood abuse, and that it has a horror-ish theme. the final dialogue was just clear enough for players to piece together small parts of the story and come up with the rest, it could have many interpretations so you can either leave it as it is or perhaps make a small website describing the true outcome. but i for one found the game to be very well put together, the graphics were great, besides the the writing, though it wasn’t important in most cases it was a bit of a problem for me, but i encourage the developers to please make more games, i love the escape room genre and was glad to find a new type of style, the game was great, congratulations.

An absolutely stellar escape room game

This game is really, really good. It starts off mysterious, which quickly draws you in, wanting to see where it all goes. The clues and trails are cleverly planted, and it piques your interest as you progress through it all. The game’s music creates a somehow calm tone, with some intrigue. Kind of like an eerie calm before some sort of storm. It just really fits the atmosphere. The game’s visual look and appearance with its rooms and details is really satisfying too, and the interface can be creative at times while u play, which is something I appreciate as well. There’s so much more, you just have to play for yourself and experience. Not to mention, the devs were kind enough to make such a fun and creative game, and then MAKE IT FREE. So get it already! Anyway, I gotta get back to playing and see what happens next...and then afterwards...and then after that...it’s just so interesting uncovering bits of in formation to eventually uncover the grand mystery at the end of it all! Wait, why are you still here??? What are you waiting for??? Go play Nox!

Sadly, not that fun to play

There are things to like about this escape game, but overall I found it frustrating and a bit boring. The block graphics can get confusing since there are clues in some of the items but it’s hard to tell what is a color clue and what is just chunky pixels. I played for an hour and still felt lost in the house. The spinning room mechanic and doors that look similar make it hard to navigate. I found I got bored bouncing around the rooms and guessing what I should do next, so I was glad there were hints. But even those made references to rooms that were unclear. The map that is provided doesn’t label the rooms so I just had to guess which one they were talking about, and it took me several tries to figure out which doors would get me there. The dialogue writes itself just slow enough to be annoying, and in many instances you have to tap several times to get all the dialogue when it could have all fit on the screen in the first place. And many times I tapped on what I hoped would be tappable, just to have to click click click through the old dialogue again. I finally lost interest and gave up. I did pay the $3 to get rid of ads with no regrets since the developers show promise and I hope they do something else. I just hope they work out the parts that made this game unplayable for me.

So good!

Look, it’s not perfect I’ll admit, but it’s a very fun and engaging game. I really enjoyed the unusual graphics and the storyline was really cool to slowly piece it together. Especially because I only figured out like a little piece of it right towards the end as said thing is pretty clearly being hinted at. Theres a lot of fun fairly simple puzzles and some good gatcha moments that I really appreciated. My only complaint is that sometimes the next step is very difficult to sus out without using hints. Which honestly didn’t matter a ton because the hints are very good. I appreciated the hint system a lot, mostly cause it doesn’t automatically give away anything and does it’s best to stay vague so that if you want to figure it out for yourself, it starts out just pointing you in the right direction, and progressively get more specific as you ask for hints. Absolutely what I’m looking for with hint systems. I really couldn’t recommend this game enough, especially since there’s not a ton of free really well made escape/mystery solving full-ish length games available for mobile. Thank you so much for a wonderful game experience!

fun but has its problems

Loved the atmosphere and the graphics and the way you could interact with items in your inventory, ex. pour water out of a jug while tilting it. The music and sound design overall was amazing and really helped to set the mood. I did enjoy quite a bit of the puzzles but at some point they started being unintuitive so i had to get to a lot of the steps/solutions with free hints. I have to give you credit for not forcing people watch an ad for a single hint like all those other escape room games, though. I think the ad placement was fine overall, considering this is a game you'd probably have to pay 3-4$ for just to play if it wasn't free. I saw ads every 10 minutes when i tapped to enter another room and i'm completely fine with that. The only thing i ABSOLUTELY hated was the ending. I knew something like that was coming but it wasn't set up properly until the very last minutes of the very last act. Sure, the collectibles gave some hints, but that wasn't nearly enough worldbuilding. And while some players complained about the ending cutscene being too long, i'm going to complain about it being too short and not having much going on in it. I mean, come on, the ending's supposed to be the thing that crowns a game. Overall, i didn't feel like i wasted my time because i did really enjoy many parts of the game, but it definitely could've been 5* worthy.

Absolutely beautiful game!

I’m not sure why I see some reviews who said the game was boring... I could understand if someone felt bored while stuck on a particular task or puzzle, because there were TONS of puzzles. The game provides you with hints along the way if you get stuck. If you don’t like to use your brain then this game is not for you 😅 Besides that, the graphics in the game FOR A PHONE are so clean, and the entire gameplay is just so well thought out. I was engaged in this game for hours. I’m sad that the game was over in one day, because I could NOT put it down. The solution to one puzzle just threw you into another intricate mystery. For me, personally, I felt so much EMOTION, especially towards the end of the game before the credits when the story tied all of its ends. The music is soothing but also helped with anticipation. There were surprises LITERALLY left and right. I felt a plethora of emotions while I was playing the game from being aggravated, enlightened, excited, sad, confused, and empathy, and so on. I absolutely loved this game, it was truly a beautiful story. I would 100% play more games like this and from these developers. I say give it a try, even if it’s not your style. Try it. It actually almost brought me to tears at the end (which I hope persuades more people to finish the game). Thank you, Everbyte, for a phenomenal experience!

Loved the game!!!!

First I want to say this game is an amazing escape game that has excellent and challenging gameplay and puzzles. It’s definitely a few hours of play. For FREE at that. For those complaining about childhood trauma and crying as if this game “triggered” you, give me a freakin break. I experienced childhood trauma like you could never imagine. This game, with its minimal storytelling, does NOT trigger true victims of childhood abuse of any kind. You are just looking for something to complain about. Seriously though, this game was EXCELLENT. The graphics were cool and the gameplay was smooth with no glitches. Yes, I had to use the hint system but that was because I got lazy towards the end. The game has sat on my home screen for quite a while and I just never got around to playing it. Now sitting home in QUARANTINE, I finally started it tonight and I’m glad I did. It’s a lot of fun. Definitely give it a try. It’s FREE, with ads occasionally but not intrusive whatsoever. And to those complainers that say crap about spelling errors, I didn’t see any. And there DOES NOT need to be some sort of trigger warning. It’s not that serious y’all. Great game devs, I appreciate your hard work making such a great escape game. It’s not like any other I’ve played. Definitely 5 stars. And yes, this is a REAL review. 👍🏼

Great puzzles-disturbing mystery story

To parents and guardians: my 10 year old likes to play escape games too, so FYI for parents and guardians: there is nothing graphically violent in the story but it is a subtly disturbing murder story involving an emotionally scarred child and implying child abuse. There is, of course, also disturbing music (at times). I found this a little too hard in some places but overall it was a very enjoyable game! At first I would get lost trying to find my way through series of similar doors that I couldn’t always see depending on the way the perspective was turned. (Until I unlocked the fast travel.) Some of the puzzles were too far apart (the clue from the actual puzzle) for me and there were extraneous clues that had no meaning or objects that had no use which made things confusing and at times tedious. I have to admit I had no idea there were hints available until I read it in one of these reviews. So I imagine that would have helped tremendously. However, I loved the challenging puzzles; some that were quite unique to what I’ve seen in other escape room games. I was pleasantly glued to my phone for hours wanting to figure this out.

Great game!

Haven't finished playing yet but wanted to leave a review because the game is so good. It's always great to see a quality game from a new developer. It took a little getting used to the way it works but after a few minutes all went well. The puzzles are quite challenging and are also unique - something I appreciate. The story is intriguing. The graphics are very pixilated which adds to the fun. There is a whole mansion to explore and a map to go with it. The only thing I'd add to the map is a teleport feature because there is quite a bit of running around but it's pretty easy to navigate. And you can play for free with ads or pay to go ad free which is what I did so that I could play without interruptions. All in all a great offering from a promising new developer. Thank you, Everbyte Studios! I'm already looking forward to more.Update: the fast travel map just opened up! It appeared about halfway through. Yay!Update 2: I decided to replay the game since I remembered enjoying it so much but I had forgotten about the mini arcade game. Ugh!! I don’t know how I did it the first time but don’t think I can deal with it again. Ugh again. Dev: people who play escape games don’t generally like arcade games. Can you put a skip button for it? Pretty please?

Not the best escape room game I’ve played

It seems like they were trying to develop a game similar to the Rusty Lake escape rooms, but failed miserably. It’s just not as fun or as engaging as those games. A lot of this game is nonsensical. Some of the tasks you have to do make little to no sense. I don’t want to play a game where everything is obvious, but some of the things you have to do are so unapparent that it’s a good thing there are free hints. The game is so dark that some of the clues are just indistinguishable from the rest of the graphics. For example, you had to put bottles of wine in order according to their color. The clue for this was in the basement, but when I went to look I could hardly tell what color the labels were and there’s no way to zoom in and take a closer look. A lot of the colors in the game aren’t far enough apart to where you can tell what they are. The story made little sense. The constant dialogue was annoying. And don’t even get me started on that ending. There is absolutely no reason why it needed to drag on that long. We get it, he’s confused and his dad abused him and his mom. We don’t need some dragged out bunch of lines trying to make double, triple, and quadruple sure that we understand. Especially if there’s no way to skip through it. I was bored by the end of this game. And there was no explanation about being able to fast jump from the different rooms. I discovered that accidentally. Good job on that though, because that was helpful.
