EXIT: The Game Advent Calendar:
The Silent Storm
December 2nd

A complete damp squib today. The puzzle involves moving and shaking the box to release a part… except in my copy it had already shaken loose (I actually found it yesterday and guessed it was a future puzzle gone wrong, so at least I didn’t have to wait long for the answer). I’m sure it seemed like a very clever idea at the concept stage, but including such a puzzle in a product that’s inevitably going to be shaken around while being transported, delivered, examined, etc, is just inherently ill-conceived. Hopefully the game doesn’t try such things too often or it’s going to wind up a very disappointing month.
