Description: The highly-anticipated sequel to “Paranormal Detective: Escape from the 80’s”! You’re a detective who is a little too into the supernatural, and you’ve been tasked with tracking down a girl who went missing back in 1998 at the mall… possibly the arcade where her big sister worked.

Review: Much like its predecessor “Paranormal Detective: Escape from the 80’s” this new game titled “Paranormal Detective: Escape from the 90’s” is once again a 90’s themed escape room style game. But that is OK because the original was a pretty good game as well. What I like most about this game is its light-heartedness. It keeps things fun and easy with a useful hint system that gets you out of trouble should it occur. All-in-all it took me just shy of 3 hours to finish and I only used the help phone a few times. While it won’t offer much of a challenge to escape room aficionados it should give the rest of us a good amount of laughs for a good price.
