Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. One creator, Hottategoya, became known for short, bite-sized escape room games. Let's look at a work of his - Escape from the Intersections.

To play Escape from the Intersections, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This game has no story, which is completely fine, as the game is incredibly short. The setting is very unique as far as Hottategoya games go - a modern intersection complete with traffic lights. What's eerie is that no matter where you go, you'll run into the same intersection with only minor differences.

Unfortunately, navigation is still a major problem. Clicking on the side of the screen to move to the screen to move around might sound intuitive, but the fact that every screen looks almost identical makes navigation nearly impossible. It crosses a line and just becomes frustrating, which is a giant shame because Hottategoya games have generally been very good about being frustrating.

All in all, Escape from the Intersections is a great entry by Hottategoya and really shows off the creator's strength in escape room game design.
