Escape from the Round Room 1.0

Warning: You need to have a special piece of software to run this game. You can find the special software right here. Then, you'll need to follow the instructions in the review to play the game.

There are a couple of incredibly well-known figures in the online flash point-and-click escape room scene. One of them is Tesshi-E, who is known for simple, straightforward, but satisfying escape room games. Let's look at one of their games - Escape from the Round Room.

To play Escape from the Round Room, you have to unzip all the files into the folder you extracted the FPSoftware files to. Then, navigate to FPSoftware -> Basilisk-Portable -> Basilisk-Portable.exe. Afterward, drag the HTML onto the Basilisk browser.

This game surprisingly doesn't have a story. You just wake up in the middle of a round room and have to find your way out.

This game has a special examine item button so you can zoom in and interact with an item in your inventory closely. This will prove essential as you try to escape from the room as there are some hints that can only be found by examining items closely. Other than that, just click on the sides of the screen to rotate the view of the room, click on an item to zoom in and interact with it, and click the bottom of the screen to zoom back out.

All in all, Escape from the Round Room is a great game that really highlights how talented Tesshi-E is at puzzle design.
