No Way Out (2023)

there's no run button and you move very slow. one of the things you need to get a few endings is just real hard to see. a lot of the endings just feel like they don't respect your time and force you to just wait or do a thing for way too long. even with all this the game is nowhere close to 2 hours, so if you really want to play it, you can do it for free I guess and get all the endings. beyond that it wasn't really that fun or scary or anything, this game's biggest sin is that it's just kinda boring. you can pass on this one

I love everything about this game! I just wish there was more of it. It didn't take that long to do everything. More paths, options, variations & endings to explore would have been awesome. For example: [b]SPOILERS[/b] [spoiler] You should have been able to shoot through the window and kill the guys that come to your door, I was really expecting that would be possible. And unlock a different path from there on. I mean you have a gun but it's only used for shooting the rope down or yourself. There was a big feeling of "what if" after finishing this game. There is so much potential. [/spoiler] Either way, it seems this is a first project for the dev(s) and that is just really promising. Hope to see No Way Out 2, or other games by them.

All right little adventure game.

I really like the idea of the game, it's a shame it was so short. It was interesting to figure out the different ways to "escape", although the puzzles could have been more difficult Also the environment would have had to be more complex / interactable to give the game more of a replay value. But for one playthrough it's definitely worth the small price.

So I had fun with this, but I won't lie: I was a little disappointed overall. While it presents an intriguing little world with some interesting setup, there's not much payoff and a few nonsensical aspects that feel like they were added more to make you wonder than to actually provide a good mystery. I'll provide a spoiler warning for my main issue regarding this: [spoiler] The ending that has you descending a lift to watch a whole planet explode was pretty fascinating in the moment, but afterwards feels like it was there more for the purpose of shock than for any narrative depth. There are no hints or clues that could give you ideas to work on and make such a mystery feel necessary, it simply feels tacked-on. [/spoiler] Beyond that, the rest is atmospheric and moody, it presents the monotony of its concept pretty well, and can get to you the way these things do in real life. If you like something simple, with potentially no explanation, it's good for a giggle, but if you want something to linger with you, it won't be this.

Could've been great if there was way to skip the waits. Too much idling.
