It pulled off something perhaps only acceptable in an escape room environment and was a brilliant use of tech.
➕ I absolutely adored the ending puzzle sequence. ➖ Large stock photos decorating the main space were ultimately justified… but they didn’t quite match the rest of the room’s visual aesthetic. We took notes along the way, but the AI always had our backs if we forgot or misremembered anything. It had a range of reactions for every situation as it responded to our actions in the room, provided bits of narrative, and gave hints as needed. ➕ A robust AI character was helpful without being intrusive. Whether intended as a tribute to early-days escape rooms or a partial relic of Mysterious Stranger, these were still fun puzzles but didn’t quite match the elevated level of puzzle-narrative cohesion in the rest of the game. But we found that a handful of puzzles toward the beginning of the game felt a bit more narratively random than what followed. ➕/➖ The puzzles were all solidly designed, with many twists and layered solves. The gameplay had us constantly moving through the set, encouraging exploration and making it feel even bigger than it actually was. ➕ While The Neighbor started off in a fairly standard looking house, there was more to the space than first met the eye. The room was a freestanding structure, with walls and ceilings built from scratch that accommodated more secrets than we would have expected from most escape rooms. It was reliable and was creatively utilized in a wide range of novel interactions. ➕ The tech was the star of the show in The Neighbor. Steal and Escape’s The Neighbor was a standard escape room with a moderate-to-high level of difficulty.Ĭore gameplay revolved around solving puzzles, making connections, and searching. We entered through the front door into a space austerely decorated with office furniture and some eye-catching artwork. The Neighbor took us to our neighbor’s home. We also appreciated a well-designed home AI system that served as an in-world delivery mechanism for both story and hints. Throughout The Neighbor, the puzzles and set design were consistently stellar, though with a noticeable increase in puzzle-narrative integration as the game progressed. It was subtle in such an insidiously sneaky way… and it had me viewing my real-world surroundings a bit differently for weeks after playing. The Neighbor contained one of my all-time favorite tech moments of any escape room I’ve played. It was a delight seeing the work ethic and creativity demonstrated in Steal and Escape’s owner Jason Richard’s 2020 RECON talk put into practice in this room to great effect. Steal and Escape showcased their build skills and technical chops through every surface of The Neighbor.
