Description: A neo-Hitchock murder mystery set in Brooklyn. When the clock strikes eight, a suspenseful thriller begins to unfold in real-time. Watch closely from the fire escape as your suspicious neighbours embroil you in a simmering, interactive crime.
Review: It has to be said ‘Fire Escape’ is both kinds of creepy and genius in the same stroke. Its a murder mystery game in which you need to find out who the killer is. But you play the role of a…pervert? Or maybe some sort of pervy detective guy who sits on a fire escape watching what the residents of the towerblock ar doing. You can zoom in to windows and even hear what they are saying, but the odd thing is they all know you are there! Just sat there watching them which does make the game feel kind fo weird. But overall this is an easy game to recommend, in fact, at times I praise the originality and indeed the overall quality of this game. Yes, it is well worth a look even at full price, but some people will feel as I did and might not enjoy it as much as others will. Try not to put too much thought into your own role in this game and just enjoy it.
