Some of the most popular escape games on the app store have also been released with the theme of letters. This game is straightforwardly titled "Character Room Escape," but what kind of game is it? Let us invite you to this mysterious world.



This title takes place in ......, a world where letters have mysterious powers. The opening of the game is fully voiced, inviting the player out of the real world and into this mysterious world. What exactly is the power of letters?



For example, the kanji character for "gate" is written on the door, preventing the player from moving on. By using the characters provided somewhere in the room and fusing them together, the kanji becomes "Kai" (open), and the gate opens. That is the power that the letters have. Fusing letters and characters to create a character is the kind of question you would see on a TV quiz show.


The rooms are like 3D dungeons, but they are very easy to explore because of the automatic mapping function. As you advance through the map, certain letters emerge. It is well made, so please try to guess the solution and move on.


It is recommended for those who want to enjoy a slightly different kind of escape game.
