Escape from Norwood

I've followed the game for a long time and played the mobile version. It's a fresh take on text adventures and the open-world and real-time features make it more modern than the screenshots would suggest. The worldbuilding is consistent and original, the story has its fair share of surprises and discovering the life of the citizens is always intriguing. If you like puzzles, exploration and don't shy away from narration, you should definitely give it a try.

For the Visually Impaired pressing the f12 key does turn on text to speech as well as taking a screen shot, the joys of the Steam overlay. This adventure game is deep with it running in real time, it also has a lot of keys to remember so be prepared. Iti is a nice change to have a game that is not dumbed down though so I will not be complaining. There is a lot to do and learn and it will not hold your hand.The sound is reasonable and it is a decent price. It you want something that will get you thinking then this is a great buy.

Fun Game Let me start off, saying that I am a visually impaired player and I like how this game works pretty well with my screen reader. The screen reader, I use, doesn’t read word for word or character to character when it’s reading inside the game and I think it would be nice if it did. I’ve had issues with checkmarks, for example, I completed the prime lady and the OutKast quest, but it is saying that I did not. I made a mistake in the game where I vanished the candle in the candle shop; candles are very important in this game and I am no longer able to grab one. I really rather not have to start all over again because of this mistake. Help! I’ve spent a lot of time on this game, and it is very challenging. I like how the game has hints for those who want to use them but, I’ve followed some of those hints and it still doesn’t complete the quest. The current quest I am on right now is,Skodiwas experiment. I am working on the mercury part and I read the walk-through because, it wasn’t working. I followed the hints step to the letter, but when I push the or all it does is repeat the same phrase over and over. I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if there’s some sort…

This game is very engaging. I like long games and this one kept me interested. Exploration and quests are some of the things I like in games. Exploration pays off, providing quests and information about lore and the world. Some puzzles made me stuck, but the hint system was usually a good remedy for that. The protagonist is a young girl whose particular talent in magic is not politically correct and approved by the empire. Because of that, she must escape when the secret is revealed at the beginning of the game. The game kept me in suspense until the end. Every time I thought I was in the clear, a twist of action happened and it turned out that no, I was very far from being free. The game is accessible for blind and visually impaired players. I definitely recommend.

Fantastic writing, among the upper tier of indie games I've played that were of this sort of genre. I like how random the happenings were and the surprising feeling of immersion even though the visuals are basic. That again can be attributed to the writing. The sense of danger is minimal, exploration is key across the couple of hours I played. Interesting and worth returning to.
