We like to research the themes before making a room, and everytime an Egyptian theme comes up it’s really popular with puzzle solvers. What’s your favorite room or setting in the game?įor me personally, it’s Egypt. Basically anything with puzzles! Nothing says “good luck getting out” like the inside of an Egyptian tomb! The Room series were great, as was Portal. We’re also fans of adventure games like Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series. Our team loves puzzle games! The Myst games were huge at the time, with a great feeling of mystery about them. Once physical escape rooms became popular, it was a logical next step to make a simulation of those real life rooms.Īs fans of the puzzle game genre, what are some of your favorite puzzle games of all time? Real life escape rooms came after that… and now we have more digital escape rooms based on the physical ones - things have come full circle! Our own company started out making digital escape rooms as Flash games for browsers. Now why would you ever even want to escape from this room?ĪG: What prompted you to take escape rooms back to their digital roots?īoris Barbir, Co-owner and COO of Pine Studio: The interesting thing about Escape Rooms is that they started out as a digital concept - they were small games. After trying to make our way through several of the rooms, we sat down with Pine Studios to get some hint-er, questions answered. If you’re an adventure gamer or escape room fan looking to scratch the itch in your brain that can only be soothed by solving a clever puzzle, Escape Simulator may be right up your alley (you might even see some super cool gaming gear and PC peripherals in the game, wink emoji, wink emoji). Once you’ve overcome all the machinations of the base game, you can either try your hand at being an escape room designer yourself, and make your own room in the game’s Workshop, or you can attempt to solve the fiendish inventions that the community have uploaded to the Steam Workshop. With over 20 devious rooms full of perplexing puzzles for you to solve on your own, or with a squad of friends, Escape Simulator seeks to solve a puzzle that has confounded many an escape room aficionado: “How am I gonna get a group of friend together to go to an escape room with me?” The folks at the Croatian-based Pine Studios describe themselves as “obsessed with crafting awesome puzzle games,” and one look through their catalog confirms that obsession is real! This month in the HyperX Indie Highlight, we’ll be taking a look at their latest title, Escape Simulator, a game that condenses all the fun experience of an escape room into your PC.
