Kosmonavtes: Escape Reality

[i]Kosmonavtes: Escape Reality[/i] is a pretty basic and straightforward room escape game targeted at novice players due to its low challenge puzzles. There are 8 chapters in total, each of them consisting of only 2 screens. There's not much else to do apart from picking up a few objects, combining them with the environment while going several times back and forth between these screens and solving one final, big puzzle (like a jigsaw / a nonogram). An in-game, text-based hint system is also available, making things even more accessible in case you get stuck, and it is fairly well done (you receive hints for the exact stage in which you're stuck). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2403245833 The story is delivered through dialogue panels at the beginning of each chapter and it's also very basic, like pretty much everything about the game (apart from the delightful hand-drawn art).

Boring. The music which repeats every few seconds grates in no time, it's a dull hog where you mostly find things one at a time.

Basic, but not terrible. Typically sells for 1 or 2 dollars, which is about right. Pros: Female protagonist Simple puzzles Good for children Cons: 8 very short chapters Music is monotonous

Good!
