Escape: the Office is a classic, minimalist point and click puzzle game where your adventure is confined to a single room. While this may sound limiting, Escape: the Office packs a lot of content into all four walls at your disposal.

This cool room escape game uses classic, mouse and touchscreen-oriented gameplay to lead the player to explore their surroundings in a logical manner. Almost every avenue of exploration will quickly be blocked off by something as traditional as a missing key or something as modern as an inappropriately-sized electric outlet. These barriers serve to narrow down your choices until you pick away at individual puzzles, predominantly in the form of searching every square inch of your furniture, until you find the right tools to progress.

This step by step progress, presented with reasonable real-world intuition, makes for a very satisfying gameplay session. Passwords are written down in logical locations and aren't too confusing, different items are found right where you'd expect them to be, and solutions in general are very common sense. While this makes Escape: the Office a very tacked down and plain affair, it also makes it a game that's very accessible to all audiences.

But even though Escape: the Office has a lot going for it, it also made a lot of sacrifices in development. Its developers were clearly working with only one, if any dedicated artists. The graphics in use err on the side of legibility, so you'll never be struggling to physically see what you need to do. However, Escape: the Office's visuals are little better than MS Paint doodles, and provide absolutely none of the flair that a game like this could use to keep you engaged.

The music is also a common weak point in budget web games, and Escape: the Office sadly doesn't buck that trend. You'll find yourself turning off the music almost immediately, purely due to it being an incredibly repetitive looping track that does nothing for helping you concentrate on the puzzles at hand. While most likely public domain track could have done with even more effort put into it than the graphics - that is to say, less than almost none at all.

Still, there's no denying that Escape: The Office is an enjoyable puzzle game that you won't need to consult a walkthrough to beat. Anyone who likes point and click challenges needs to give this game a shot.
