Although I would like to immerse myself in the world of this title all the time, it is an escape game, so I have to solve the riddles. Try to find items and riddles hidden in the rooms.

Even if you get stuck in solving the riddles, there is a hint function so that you can always play to the end. There are 18 stages in total, and each stage takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The volume of the game is perfect. It is enjoyable for everyone from escape game beginners to advanced players.

Please be sure to play this escape game that unfolds on a retro-style screen. （New Samurai)
