About the game
You take shelter from a storm inside a medieval castle and become trapped in different rooms. You examine symbols, read clues and test mechanisms to open the next passage. Some puzzles involve shapes and glass panels. Others make you guide your partner through a maze or a trap before time runs out.
Two players work through the escape together online, each seeing information the other needs. Both roles move through their own parts of the castle, so you take turns explaining what you see and following instructions. The walkie-talkies make listening part of the puzzle. You can return with the roles reversed or search for missed clues that affect the ending, though knowing the solutions makes another attempt shorter.
