From just moments into the trailer I can already spot a whole host of tantalising puzzles. A mysterious research center… Weird and wonderful puzzles… A chilling back story? Yep, it’s got pretty much everything you could possibly want from an escape room game. This game is a total classic in every sense of the world.

Will you be able to discover how did you get there and escape? In this escape room with a dark setting, you will have to escape from the research center where you are trapped, by solving different puzzles. So without further adieu, here are my top 10 picks of Game Festival games for the escape room connoisseur: The Steam Game Festival runs from the 3rd – 9th February and showcases a whole range of games from different genres (my company’s own game is there under ‘Racing’ – keep an eye out for Drive Buy!) If you spot any games you like the look of, you’ll be able to watch live streams with the creators, add to your wishlist for news, and in most cases – download a demo version of the game! Pretty much all you need to play them is a PC, and not even a particularly good one at that. The best part? Since this festival is the developer’s chance to put their best foot forward and showcase their games, you can play most of them for free. Why? It is absolutely PACKED with escape room games this year. One thing I’m extra excited to talk about on The Escape Roomer is the Steam Game Festival. All it means is that my horizons have been broadened- no, that’s not right… More like they’ve been totally blown open with all the amazing ‘escape room’ video games I’ve been exposed to lately.

Does this mean this blog is now about videogames? Nahhh. So here’s a bit of a life update for everyone who didn’t ask for it – in 2020 I transitioned away from working in the escape room industry into the video game industry.
