Honestly had a blast with this game, the puzzles weren't too difficult which allowed the atmosphere to stay in tact (I personally find when a puzzle is too hard, it ruins horror games sometimes, yours does not have that problem) I quite enjoyed it and am so excited to see the full release!
I try to make the puzzles just an extra "distraction" to keep the player under intense tension. I'm glad I got it right. Thanks for playing and thanks for your feedback!!!
This is really good for a light demo. The story is actually pretty interesting and had me wondering what was going on. I think the gameplay definitely could use some work, but it is just a demo so I don't want to be too harsh on it. Looking forward to the full release.
I'm glad you liked it. And I'd love to hear what you think is missing from the gameplay? I'm willing to make any necessary improvements to make everything as cohesive as possible. If you could point out where we could improve, I'd be eternally grateful!
What an amazing demo Escapebox, There was a lot packed into this escape room horror game that I really liked. The lighting and mood is very simple yet unsettling. I was a bit spooked at the beginning from the tv countdown, and being thrown into a room with dolls just made me cry a little inside. Since this was just a teaser of what's to come. I'll consider checking out the full game on steam. (if I have the funds) From the demo alone, presentation, and story, I give this a 8/10. I personally like puzzles that make you think more, but that's just me being nit-picky. Overall, this is a really great game.
I promise to bring more complex puzzles to the final version. And I'll do everything I can to make the pricing fair and accessible for everyone. Thanks for playing and for your kind words of support. I'll have more news soon!
Many people go missing [worldwide], but it becomes especially harrowing, when one of them is your child [daughter in this case]. So, naturally, any father [or mother] has no choice but to step up to the plate and start looking for the missing child.
However, in this case, something way more sinister is going on, as there are people [and monsters] behind this disappearance. By solving puzzles [one of my favorite passings of time], putting 1 + 1 together, and moving forward, the player slowly [but surely] unravels a mystery. This being a DEMO, one's left with a hunger for more, and that's the most positive thing I bring to the table about this game.
From the first second to the last a player is deeply immersed in a horrifying world of dread, death and dreariness.
5 star rating, well-deserved!
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.
I really enjoyed your review and appreciate your kind words. It's great to see that a small slice of the game, prepared with so much love for the community, has proven to be a valuable product for everyone. Thank you so much for playing, and thank you so much for the review and gameplay. I hope to continue surprising you!
Congratulations to all the creators of the "The Box of Fear" demo! It's an excellent game, and the demo is great. I'd like all the creators of this game to subscribe to my YouTube channel, please. Thank you. I'm delighted with your subscription and support of my little channel! Cheers!

This game was a pleasant surprise to me. I thought the puzzles and general escape room aesthetic was pretty well executed. I give my criticism at the end of the video but overall really enjoyed it!
I got out of bed at 1 am and played this and I couldn't to sleep until it was nearly 4 am because of this game. The overall atmosphere is creepy as heck with all of the sounds and footsteps going on. I was uncomfortable as heck the whole time. I got jump scared a few times also. With a demo this freaky, I can't imagine how freaky the full game is going to be, especially since we haven't fully met all of the people we're going to encountered. I'm glad to see you're back after a while. I can't wait to play the full game and possibly get scared even more. Keep up the good work.
I'm sorry for all the tension, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep lol. We worked hard to choose the best scares to put in the demo, since the final game will be much more intense and dramatic. Thanks for playing and thanks for the gameplay!!
That was the only one! It's just that in every test, people always ran into the ghost. I thought it needed a scare there, lol. Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I promise to try to tell the story more fluidly in the final version. Thanks for commenting, and thanks for the gameplay!!!

Nice game. I was afraid after the first scare it was just going to be cheap scares, but it was quite good.
