Sometimes all you want to do is kick back and relax with a disembodied, bikini-wearing torso, and in times like these, Aries Escape has you covered with Aries Escape: Episode No. 15. You find yourself in a cozy little woodland cabin, perhaps ready for one last summer fling judging by your wardrobe and the seasonal decor. But who can really relax with all these puzzles around them? You literally can't sit down without coming across a coded lock box, and if you ever want to escape, you'll need to find and correctly interpret the clues needed to open them. Just click around to move and interact, using the white arrows that appear at the edges of the screen to navigate, and double-click an item in your inventory to view it up close. The text is all in Japanese, but none of it will prevent you from finishing the game. Watch for the cursor to change to indicate interactive zones, and keep your eyes peeled for clues and codes. So many clues and codes. But hey, that's all in a day's work for an escape veteran, right? Especially if you want to get the Happy End...
Aries Escape: Episode No. 15 is one of those games that manages to be both perfectly pleasant and juuuuuust challenging enough to make you really get your brain engaged. There's a lot of code breaking going on, to the point where you might have wanted a few more inventory-centric puzzles instead of all these lockboxes scattered everywhere, but the puzzles here are still clever (and even sneaky) enough to make up for it. One of the easiest ways to get "stuck" is to simply miss some of the white directional arrows when they pop up unexpectedly, or to forget yon swimsuit torso can be used with some items as well. Mix it all up with a clean User Interface, bright and clear graphics, and a sunny soundtrack (not to mention a save function), and you have a perfect example of a developer who knows how to craft a well made, user friendly escape game. Don't be sad when it's time to say goodbye to summer... celebrate the upcoming holidays instead with Aries Escape!
