COMPLETE/ABANDONED: Escape the Game (intro)

[kjorteo]

This one gets a COMPLETE for the fact that I did beat the prologue episode, and an ABANDONED for the fact that I opted not to continue with the rest of the series after that. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the writeup, because I don't feel it deserves any more time than I already spent playing the game, even though that really was not a lot.

Escape the Game is a basic platformer starring an irritating smartass cube who thinks the fourth wall meta writing means it's okay to directly insult you-the-player whenever you fail a jump. It's free, and the trailer makes it look like a bad platformer on the surface that turns into a glitchy creepypasta a la Pony Island when you actually Escape the Game, which is why it grabbed my attention and I installed it. It turns out it's actually just a bad platformer with some glitch-aesthetic levels near the end, like a less competent version of level -0 in Stinkoman 20X6.

It also turns out that it's free because it's ten minutes long and the whole thing is a prologue/teaser/Episode 0 type To Be Continued hook, and Episode 1 isn't even out yet as of this writing.

That's fine. I probably won't get it when it is.
