SOTANO - Mystery Escape Room Adventure

This game isn't properly finished, i am even surprised that steam is selling it. Items are desapearing from inventory, saved game won't load. mechanics are quite good but........bugging

after playing for 2 hours, the game as a puzzel game is good. but as a "game" I don't recommend it. it has some bugs and the save game won't load.

A short review to give 👍 to M9 Games. SOTANO was my first from M9 Games and it was an enjoyable over all but I did wish it were longer. The visuals were nice and the puzzles were enjoyable. I did not experience any problems other reviews mentioned.Everything I interacted with worked as intended and progressed me onward. The only downside for me is not having achievements and trading cards. I think they make for fun profile showcase flair. Granted it is still in 'Profile Features Limited' status so maybe when the metric is reached M9 Games will add some 🤞.

There are things to like in this game, but it has a few major drawbacks that keep me from recommending it. Most people will beat this in around an hour and a half. Far less time if you are versed in these types of games. And Most of that time is going to be spent on 2 or 3 really badly designed puzzles. There aren't many puzzles or rooms in this game, but most of them are fun. I didn't have any of the bug issues that other people did, but I was able to bypass half the puzzles in a room with some simple guess work. The biggest issue with the game is that some of the puzzles are really bad. One of them ignores all the rules already established in the game. Had to use a guide because I thought the game was broken. Technically, it was. Two of the puzzles are riddles, and nothing is provided in the game to cue you to what the answers would be. This is faulty game design. Most of the puzzles thankfully can be solved with clues in the game world. The problem is that with such a small amount ...

I've been playing M9 Gmaes for some time now... and it's great to see them getting better and better. This is the first one I played that's in real-time 3D instead of static images. So it's great to see the developer growing and making better games. The plot in the game is not really important... but the puzzles are. It has fun puzzles that are not too difficult but also not too easy. Visuals are nice and the game has a good atmosphear. It might use some extra polish here and there...and some people might find it too short, but overall it's a fun experience. I look forward to the next game...

I finished this game in about an hour. Puzzles were good with only one being a bit obscure. None of the puzzles are twitchy or rely on luck, which I appreciate. The game is short but solid.

I didn't rage quit trying to solve the first three puzzles, so good game. https://youtu.be/DvfclBhiy9k

a nice short escape room puzzle game. it is very straight forward and simple. it is kinda rough around the edges with some graphical errors but it doesn't effect the game play at all. overall i recommend it on sale as you can beat it in under one hour.

If this game looks familiar, that's because it's made using an "escape room toolkit" purchasable on the Unity store, and used by a lot of other Steam games, the best of which are created by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=mc2games]mc2games[/url]. This makes a lot of those games look and feel very similar. My biggest complaint with this game is that there's no hint system, and no walkthrough, meaning if you get stuck... too bad, you're out of luck. I'm particularly bad with word riddles, and this game had two word riddles to solve. Fortunately I have a friend who is great at them; I asked him and he was able to solve them immediately. I was able to beat this game in a little under an hour, but without his help it probably would've taken twice that. There was...

I didn't encounter any of the bugs other reviews have mentioned. I guess they've already been fixed. SOTANO has some good and diverse puzzles of varying difficulties. They won't amaze you with their innovation or beauty, but you'll definitely need to engage your brain to get through them all. This isn't a game to get you hooked on puzzle games, but it will help fuel your addiction. Decent puzzles at an appropriate price. Overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it to other puzzle addicts.
