✦ AI summary
Players have mixed opinions on DKLS, with some praising its creative sandbox gameplay and Portal-like inspiration that rewards experimentation with objects in various rooms, while others criticize its frustrating controls, performance issues, and clumsy handling of mental health themes. The game shows potential as a free escape room experience, but execution issues and unclear mechanics limit its appeal to most players.
[h1] DKLS is a free escape room game that proves to be frustrating due to the loose controls and awkward camera angles. [/h1] [quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41039956/]Please follow my curator Indie Blast! A list of quick games that take under five hours to complete [/url][/quote] DKLS, or Disassociate Kinesthetic Learning System, is an escape room clone and item collection game set in the barracks of a space station. You wake up to discover you are in an unknown building and there is no obvious way to escape. Searching the environment reveals you are in a gamer’s bedroom with a lot of equipment and a machine named DKLS. What is this machine and what does it do? Where are you and why have you appeared here? How can you escape? All questions that may get answered if you can get persevere with the awful control system and camera angles.

No idea how to play it. However, it's a brilliant home destroying simulator. Flush the game-guide down the toilet, cook a microwave in an oven, or throw a pie and a chair on the strings of a royale and play any melody.3 found this helpful
DKLS feels heavily inspired by games like Portal and the Stanley Paradox. I played the game as part of a special stream featuring the lowest-rated games on Steam released in 2021 but this game doesn't belong at the bottom. Even as a sandbox game - playing around with the items in the various rooms was fun. I didn't play much of DKLS, but what I saw I really enjoyed. And of the 15 games we played with the worst reviews on Steam, this was by far and away the best one. Give it a try!2 found this helpful
In short, [b]DKLS[/b] is a mediocre example of everything that it tries to do. The gameplay is frustrating, the performance issues make it more so, the styling is lacklustre and the handling of the themes relating to mental health is tactless and insensitive. I would not recommend this title to anyone.

[h1]Before I played DKLS, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
