Tested on Humans: Escape Room is a single-player first-person escape game from mc2games. You wake up as a test subject inside a dark research centre and work through its rooms, decoding secret codes, finding hidden objects and piecing together the experiments that brought you there. Full controller support makes it as comfortable on a pad as with a mouse, and the low price suits anyone after a moody solo puzzle session.
Around 259 of 304 Steam reviews are positive. SteamSpy votes rank Escape Room, Puzzle, Point & Click and Hidden Object highest, with Dark and Psychological close behind, which fits a game more focused on puzzles than scares. The one detailed review calls most puzzles logical, with plenty of satisfying moments.
That same reviewer flags real sticking points: a symbol grid on the cabinets in the guard room that only makes sense once you know the answer, and a Rubik's clock style puzzle that required planning many moves ahead and sent them to a walkthrough. It is not aimed at total beginners. For the asking price it is an easy recommendation for solo escape room fans; newcomers should keep a guide handy.
Pros
- Dark research-centre setting with a test-subject mystery
- Mostly logical code and hidden-object puzzles
- Full controller support and a very low price
Cons
- Guard-room symbol grid feels arbitrary even with the answer
- Rubik's clock style puzzle may send beginners to a guide
- Single-player only
