Adventure Escape: Asylum 9+

I buy some apps but it's rare. I don't pay for in game purchases, however. It's disappointing when while playing an app you have to pay in order to proceed without the opportunity to "earn" hints or watch advertisements. This game has both! The ads are just a click off screen ad. Collected stars equates to hints to help you along which you get at the end of each level. Additionally, there are stars to collect scattered throughout the game.

Playability is smooth and the graphics are top notch in the free escape room category. The story is solid. The premise is a little spooky but not terrifying. The developers obviously put some effort into writing it relevant to the game while keeping distractions to a minimum but also wrapping up with a fulfilling ending. Some endings leave you with a big "What the--?" as credits roll -- but not Asylum. There's not a lot of banter between characters either which is a big plus. Sometimes developers have their characters prattle on unnecessarily thinking it moves along the storyline. Again, not here. What little chatter, items to read and the scene setting integrate the storyline and the puzzles. Puzzles are logical, levels are short. If you're an intermediate puzzle solver and determined and aren't easily frustrated you'll get to the end of this hint-less.

I had a great time in this game and would recommend it to those who love escape rooms both real and digital.

Great job to the developers!

I love this game so much! This is my first time playing a Haiku game and I loved it so much! However, there’s one thing I would change. I don’t know if you can replay levels and if you can I don’t know how to, so if someone could tell me how to do that if it’s possible, or if the developer could make that possible if it’s not already, that’d be awesome. Other than that, this game has a great storyline, and I’m actually really impressed with it cause when I was around 7 I had this other murder mystery game and it wasn’t that interesting, and this game legitimately made me feel scared at some points, so CONGRATULATIONS! That’s what I like in games like this, soooooo yeah! I would definitely recommend this game to other people around 10ish cause I think it’s a little too scary for a seven year old, but I could be wrong. I think that lil seven year old me would have probably not played this game a lot cause they’d be so scared but not 11 year old me, nope nope nope. Anyways, great game! Byeeeeeee!

My phone has always been my favorite source for gaming. Most of the time, I download a game and play for a couple days (sometimes minutes) and then delete. My rational for deleting is pretty standard. I either get fed up with excessive ads that take up as much(or more) time as actual playing, having to watch ads/make purchases to progress in the game, or I get bored with the same monotonous tasks repeatedly. These frustrations have never been an issue with this game. I am constantly engaged with new worlds and puzzles. The only ad I am required to watch is while the new game is loading. Yes, I have the option of watching ads for bonuses (extra hints, unlocking levels quicker), but it’s never a must. I can safely and confidently say that this is the game that has stayed on my phone and has been played the most of any other game. It’s fantastic!
