Enigmaticon has officially launched Phone Escape: Hopeless, inviting iOS users to challenge their own survival and puzzle-solving skills across an intuitive smartphone-based interface. The indie studio’s escape room experience is the first in a planned series, and offers a lite version for you to give a go before committing to a full purchase.
In Phone Escape: Hopeless, you can look forward to putting your thinking cap on as you wake up in an unknown place with a message from a mysterious sender. Given that you only have the phone in your hand, you’re forced to go along with your apparent captor’s instructions, solving puzzles and discovering more about your whereabouts along the way.
What makes the game interesting is the intuitive OS you’ll have to navigate, just like you would on your regular smartphone. You’ll go through files, check photos, review messages, and take photos to make sense of the world around you, all presented in convenient portrait mode. Of course, the realistic visuals and atmospheric soundtrack all add to the suspense, offering an immersive experience right from the palm of your hand.
