I found this escape game to be easy to progress for those who are not fond of scary elements, as the screen is neither dark nor filled with surprises. The game provides a top-down view of the room, making it simple to search every nook and cranny. When you select an item, a word appears. By following the words and clicking accordingly, you can find keys and hints to escape. I believe the difficulty level of this escape game is not too high, making it suitable for beginners!

However, there were some areas with narrow entrances where the controls were a bit challenging.

I had so much fun! The large stage and the presence of several people made it feel similar to Dragon Quest, allowing me to enjoy and progress through the game. This is an escape game, but you can advance by listening to people's conversations to get hints, finding and picking up items lying around, and thinking and observing carefully. It might be a good opportunity for those who struggle with these skills in daily life to practice them.
The atmosphere makes you feel like the protagonist on an adventure, so if you love adventure-themed games, you should definitely give it a try.

As I was walking down the street, I came across a huge hole! A cat had fallen into the hole, and the theme was about escaping from it. Inside the hole, various objects were placed, and by searching for each one and occasionally entering keywords, you could make your way out. It was incredibly enjoyable to search for each item and see how the dots connected.
I think this can be enjoyed playing alone, but it would also be exciting to play and discuss with others. I'm planning to play it with my friends next time.
