Most escape games are subdivided into two categories, with plots or no plots.
For the games with specify plot settings, there are a storyline and more than 1 switch scenes in the games. Players will have to focus on the storyline since the clues are hid in not only the scenes but also the plots.
Dr. Stanley's House 1: 7 keys
(Stanley博士的家1:七把鑰匙)
Dr. Stanley's House 2: 6 stones (Stanley博士的家2:六顆石頭)
When it comes to escape games, there are a lot of names most escape fans think of right away and Dr. Stanley's House is the game that you won't want to miss. It's created by a Chinese named James Li in 2005. The game has a great storyline, art, and puzzles. It's hard to believe that the whole game was made by one person only.
In the game, you're play a role of James, a detective who is invited by Dr. Stanley for a visit to his house. But he find a series of strange things happen as he entering the house: Dr. Stanley's disappeared, all the doors in the house are locked, and someone is hiding and targeting you all the time. You then find Dr. Stanley in the house, but he's acting weird and asking for your help. After discovering the thing that is hid in the house you start to wonder, what's the big secret of Stanley?

Now is the time for the no plots settings games. This kind of no storyline settings is the prototype of all the escapes games. It's usually shorter than the one I had mentioned in the previous paragraph and has no sequel since it doesn't have any other characters and narrative form in the game.
The scenes in the Submachine games:
If you are looking forward to trying some other games, I will strongly suggest you the Samsara Room, You Find Yourself in a Room, Alice is Dead 1 2 3, etc. However, there are still many great escape games in my lists, and if you still want to know more about it please leave a comment to let me know.

The Submachine Series
The Submachine Series is a escape game series created by Mateusz Skutnik. It is one of the most successful and well-known escape game series in the world. There are 10 episodes in the main Submachine series but they don't really have concrete storyline. It just simply sets up a situation and locks you in the room. The design of art and puzzle in this game is the most complicated one I have ever seen.
If you are looking forward to trying some other games, I will strongly suggest you the Samsara Room, You Find Yourself in a Room, Alice is Dead 1 2 3, etc. However, there are still many great escape games in my lists, and if you still want to know more about it please leave a comment to let me know.
Before I read the content of your article, I think of the game, “返校” which was popular several months ago. (Currently, somebody says that they want to adapt the game to series. However, after reading your article, I think the “escape game” you mention is not the same kind of game. The only thing I would like to ask is that are the games horrible?
回覆刪除I had checked "返校" and I thought it is more likely to a role playing game than an escape game for all the escape games are in first-person perspective. That's mean players don't have to control a character like in role playing game. And about your question,I have to say that although there are some horror escape game you can search on the internet, but horror isn't one of the main features of the escape game. Most of the games are not horrible at all, such as the two I had mentioned in this article. I think escape games are more likely to suspense games since the main idea of the game is to make you think and find out the way to get out of the room.
刪除Hi, my friend, it is going to the final exam soon, good luck and wish you score a satisfied result in this semester.Finally we can end up with blog XD. Although I seldom or haven't hang out with you, I hope we can be classmate again in next semester, all the best:D
