Escape the Ghost Town is a puzzle-horror game that places players in an abandoned town with a mysterious and rather heavy atmosphere. From the start, the game gives the feeling that something is wrong, despite its slow pace and lack of direct jump scares.
Players begin in the first chapter; currently only one chapter is available. The surroundings are quite dark; the background music is soft but enough to create a sense of tension. Everything is silent and empty, typical of a ghost town with no inhabitants.
The game focuses on finding a way out by solving puzzles. Players must interact with the environment, pick up items, and find hidden codes. Some areas are completely locked until the puzzle is solved. However, the game offers almost no clear instructions, leaving players to figure everything out on their own.
During gameplay, players encounter puzzles involving codes, symbols, wall hangings, and disjointed number sequences. Sometimes, they need to watch videos for hints or items. Some puzzles require matching items in the correct order, connecting details, or entering codes, but the input location is unclear, creating a feeling of frustration.
The game allows players to collect items such as batteries, flashlights, puzzle pieces, or pieces of paper with strange symbols. Even after collecting items, players can easily become confused about what to do next, as the interactions are not clearly responsive.
Escape the Ghost Town creates a certain horror atmosphere, but the slow pace and the lack of guidance in the puzzle system make the experience confusing and somewhat tiring. There's fear and curiosity, but it's accompanied by prolonged confusion when not knowing how to progress. When you’re done exploring this haunting environment, Scary Murder In Hotel Сraft is another experience to consider.
