Nakayubi offers a long list of wonderful escape games. ‘2018’ is not bad, but it is one of their least enjoyable offerings...
Mind you, i am american. Some japanese traditions, practices or items just don’t translate well. [ie i was not familiar with the slotted box behind the dogs, nor the inventory item that would correlate].
I also gave a low review because at least one of the puzzle solutions simply did not make sense to me. Usually if i end up taking a hint, i will slap my forehead and feel stupid that the answer didn’t occur to me! In this case, even after i saw the answer, i could make no sense of it.
I still recommend this entire series of games however. The characters are freaking adorable, puzzles are generally clever and straightforward.. some of the best free gaming you could possibly ask for!
