There's no escape...

I was scrolling down my flist last night and my eyes were caught by one of my LJ tags. I was reminded of those flash games that this Japanese guy Takagi makes, where you have to escape from a locked room. So I checked the website and guess what? There's now another room available! White Chamber is pretty darn good. Maryann and I played it together, around midnight, in the dark. And scared ourselves shitless. There was one part that we worked up a pretty good scream, too. Which was really hysterical because our fright just helped to frighten the other even more. Then we laughed so hard and for so long that our throats hurt.

Please go check them out, they're really excellent! And, just FYI, in order of release: Crimson Room, Viridian Room, Blue Chamber, White Chamber. I can't wait for more!

Also, I told my coworker David about it, and he recommended another flash game called Samorost. For which, we discovered, there's a sequel out as well, Samorost 2.

I actually started playing Samorost 2 first by mistake, and it really hooked me, but I had to stop so I could actually work. So. If you play it (or any of them), let me know how you like them!
