The Room - 7
Well, it's not like you can see the room. They aren't kidding when they say COMPLETE DARKNESS. That said, the room is clever in its flow and you end up building a mental map of where you are. Navigating completely by touch and sound is a unique experience and they made sure to hone in on those senses!
The Story - 7
Standard spooky storyline. The usage of audio and silence made a playground for your imagination as the story plays out. Despite not seeing the room at all, you can still somehow picture the characters and their settings.
K: I'm a little baby and can't handle even the lightest of horror. It's even worse if I can't see what I'm touching. By the end, M was doing a 1-person escape room with me as a backpack.
The Puzzles - 5
The puzzles are very straightforward - as they should be. This one is all about the haunting ambience and whether you can figure out where you are relative to where you've been.
The Verdict - 6.3
Honestly, if you're at Omescape for one of their better rooms and have the time, we'd still recommend this one for the novelty of puzzle-solving in the dark. If you are easily scared or only do rooms for the puzzles, then this might be a skip.
