That being said, overall the game is quite well done. While not overly a horror game, the soundtrack and some of the moments between chapters did give off a creepy vibe. For a fiver, anyone who likes puzzles will probably get a kick out of it. However, I assume anyone with the ability to play ROMs on original hardware would get a way cooler experience playing NEScape!

Being a point-and-click game developed for a system not really known for this genre, NEScape manages to fit a full-on escape room experience on a cartridge if you still have your old grey beast laying around. It is going to be a niche release that delivers on what is advertised, but nothing more.

NEScape! is a great concept with some clever puzzles, and I enjoyed the rush they gave me, but some minor issues held it back.

The concept of an escape room-esque experience made in the 8-bit days is an interesting one, but in execution it struggles It’s always a bit fascinating to see modern retro games being made, approximating the experience of more classic consoles.
