„Escape: The Game“ By Anthony Smith Designed as a Choose Your Own Adventure in a series of interlinked Google Docs. You „wake up“ from a vague dream in a smoke-filled room, tasked with getting out. Did „Part 2“ do the same in a hotel corridor, and „Part 3“ just released today, I’m not going to spoil myself or anyone reading this. We have seen Other escape room games included in Google’s program beforeBut Escape has a strange and frightening charm that is hard to deny.

The first of many options in „Escape: A Game“.

As cool as it is, Google Docs isn’t the best place to play a game. Clicking links in the document editor can take several clicks to really get you elsewhere, and quickly add new tabs. I can say my laptop was straining under the number of tabs I opened for cross-referencing guides and in-game phone calling. What’s good about playing a cooperative word processor is that you can get help with solving puzzles. Both Part 1 and Part 2 feature pages that pull double-assignments as visitor records so that people leave their names and help each other solve puzzles. You need to request access to edit the Part 1 page, but even without making direct edits, it is still easy to get tips.

The actual narration early in „Escape“ is scanty, but leaves plenty of room for you to fill in the weird edges with your own connections. For example, the entire time I played, I couldn’t get rid of the similarities between the game’s smoke-filled cabin, and controlOcean View Motel. This control The level featured an escape room-style puzzle and served as the boundary space in the game that I came back to several times. „Escape“ lacks wonderful visual aesthetics controlBut there is some common heritage in their strangeness.

I spent about an hour working during the first part of „Escape“ and finished that with over 50 open tabs and a very weird YouTube record. I learned some facts about dentistry, was frustrated with myself that I didn’t remember all of the original 151 Pokemon, and became increasingly concerned that all of this was a trick to make me better understand how the links work in documents. Overall, it’s not a bad way to spend time on the Internet

„Escape: A Game“ can be played for free in Google Docs. „part One“And the „Part 2“And and Part 3 Now available for your puzzle-solving fun.
