[Forgotten Hill: Fall]

Game play was difficult in a dark environment with a tiny spot of light. I went back and forth to check every corner before I found all objects and clues for puzzles. Nevertheless, I missed a hand, didn't know where to use a frog and a mouse, and couldn't open the last door. Thanks to the walk through, I wouldn't have escaped from this haunted house without it.

Graphics are great with occasional scary scenes. I was glad that we can always restart the game by clicking "continue". Also, sound effects are perfect!

Some suggestions for improvement:
- Enlarge a hint behind a book. It was so tiny to be seen. Add a magnifying glass, perhaps?
- Give a hint about where I could use the dead animals.
- Fix the code sheet or the door lock. They didn't match.

[The Hunt]

Game play seems interesting. I was surprised to encounter three ferocious creatures in a cave and was left with a cruel option. What a pity! Then, I was stuck for quite some time not knowing what to do next after finding the first totem. Thanks to the walk through, there was a well hidden tool behind a tree. Hint: where the hunter was watched by an animal. Then, I had no problem finding my way to the Elk King. The two ending were pretty sad although one was better than the other. I gave the Elk mercy at first and found out the hunter couldn't really defeat it. :/

Graphics are brilliant. Sound effect is great.

[Survive Day 2]

Game play was more challenging than expected. Although I had found a clue to the symbolic puzzle, it took me some time before I figured out how to solve it. Hint: you can turn the central stone and press each numbered stone. Also, finding a bait and knowing how to chase away an animal weren't easy. I had to go through all places twice before I found out how. Hint: the bait was hidden and the animal loved music. Then, I encountered a statue with four arms. I was clueless until I found a gem. I was so glad to have found a tent near the end.

Graphics are realistic. It gave me a sense of real adventure in a jungle.

Sound effect is fine.

[Hawaiian Delight Escape]

Game play is more challenging than expected. I recommend you to zoom in the screen for the ease of searching. I had to go through all scenes twice before I could find a screw driver and a clue to the anagram. Hints: the former can be found in near a TV whereas the later is tagged on a transport means.

Graphics are pleasant to look at. Due to the noisy background, one has to search thoroughly for a sneaky coin. Hint: a huge glass window.

Sound effect is relaxing. Somehow, it makes me not wanting to leave the place.

[Find the Key: Office]

Graphics and animations are neat. It's a smart idea to allow us to turn on/off certain objects and even the sound.

Game play can be improved. A screen with basic instructions will be nice. I had no idea how to do the search and interaction with objects other than random clicks. Also, adding an inventory for storing objects found will make it clearer to us what we shall do next.

[Island of Wild]

Game play is rather challenging to begin with. There're not much text hints in the first scene. Getting a key was crucial to reach the next room by opening the grey gate. Inside the house, I searched for more tools and opened the red door by cutting something connected to it. Outside the house, I continued my adventure and conquered more obstacles. When, I reached the beach, I thought it's about time to leave. Then, I realised I had to create my means of transport and take some treasure inside the jail. After 2473 seconds, I finally escaped. Phew!

Graphics are getting better as one leaves the jail and the house.

[Yo Escape Space]

Puzzles, in general, are easy. What confused me were the wires leading from the coloured circles to the oxygen tanks. I thought I had to rearrange the colour codes according to the tank order from the left to the right. But, I figure out it's simpler than that.

Scenes are new. Sound effect is alright.

[Survive]

This island is really scenic. I love exploring the area and gathering different objects. How to make a fishing pod was like an art. If you're stuck, you should check a map with symbols.

Game play is rather short. There's only one statue puzzle to solve. Music is alright.

[E.T. Escapes Time Trouble]

I enjoyed solving the cube puzzle in the first scene. Exploring the human world was interesting. Nevertheless, I had to rely on the walk through twice to help me complete this game. The clue for the door lock was misleading. One had to turn your head 90 degree to the left to decode the correct sequence of up-down-left-right. Then, I didn't know I'd have to use the energy scanner inside a haunted house. I knew I had a cutter and there were some flowers. But, I couldn't collect a flower until I met the hollow ghost.

Graphics are alright.

[Escape The Car HD]

Game play is quite challenging. Although I was able to find some objects, I had to rely on the hints occasionally for knowing what to do next. For example, where to look for clues for a safe and how to connect the wires.

Graphics are decent. Sound effect is fine.
