Between Time: Escape Room

Really not intuitive. Some tips are really not useful, since they just point to something you already have. There are some puzzles that don't even have a tip available. Some puzzles, even with the tip and a guide from steam are not clear on how they should be solved. The design and funcionality are great, but I can't recommend this one.

This was a rough play through for me, especially the last level and the second level. I'm a pretty big escape room connoisseur and really enjoy the genre, but I really struggled here. The hint system needs a massive overhaul. It's far too vague and led to me overthinking some very basic puzzles.

Between Time: Escape Room is a first-person puzzle adventure developed and published by mc2games that builds its entire experience around clever problem-solving and the fascinating possibilities of time travel. Rather than emphasizing action or survival mechanics, the game invites players to become explorers and investigators, using a stolen time machine to travel across different historical eras in search of legendary treasures. This premise gives the adventure an immediate sense of purpose while creating opportunities for a wide range of puzzle designs inspired by each unique destination. It is a game that values curiosity, patience, and logical thinking, making it an excellent choice for fans of escape room experiences. The adventure unfolds across five distinct time periods, each offering its own visual style, atmosphere, and set of environmental challenges. Every location feels noticeably different, preventing the experience from becoming repetitive as players move from one era to another. Historical settings are more than simple backdrops, as each environment incorporates thematic puzzles and interactive objects that encourage players to pay close attention to their surround…

The puzzles were good, but the game was very short.

Please please PLEASE make the walking speed faster. Even the running speed is too slow and there's no toggle to run. This is a constant problem with all this company's escape games. Please increase the movement speed and add a toggle to run, or make it point-and-click to move. Also, or the piano puzzle in the western level; there should be #'s on the levers. Otherwise there's nothing pointing to the #'s on the music sheet being important. Also also, am I crazy or is the version of the game shown in the trailer on this page a completely different version to the one I actually played?

A better escape room game than the other entry I played from this dev. You still move too slow, but the puzzles are more self-contained, so it matters less.
