Funny enough I like the black and white theme to the art. It’s different to other games that are very colourful.

Escape the Dark Castle is one of the few games that have no miniatures and that I’m interested in.

Looks like a lot of replay involved and my kids would love this as they started their gaming with me with Heroquest. Cool

This is basically all those Fighting Fantasy books we read as kids on the table top. This looks so much fun. The artwork is amazing. The gameplay loks great and I absolutely love the dice mechanics. So clean. Really love this game. (P.S. I think the winner needs a flash-drive with sound files of Justins Miller voice from the Lets Plays)

I like the black and white illustrations as that makes is very unique. It is also very easy to play so you can get others involved very quickly. It is as was stated very hard to win.

Just a really well designed game with a simple art style that brings back that Fighting Fantasy nostalgia!

Love the idea! This seems like a really fun game to play, equally love that you can play this on your own.

It’s a fun game (my friend owns it) but God, it’s brutal!

This looks like an interesting take on the “choose your own adventure” books.

The retro look to the art is nice and it kinda makes it feel like the game has the weight of age behind it (by that I don’t mean that it feel out of date, I mean it feels like an established, long running franchaise like Warhammer Fantasy or D&D; in fact the art reminds me of the art in some of the 2nd ed WHFRP books (which I think might have been recycled from 1st ed)).

Looks interesting, sometimes less is more.
Thank you for not interviewing the guest in front of the table.
