Game Description

This game follows the same escape room concept: it uses the core Pokémon game mechanics to set up several puzzle-like steps for the player to solve. It features overworld puzzles and a variety of tough, carefully crafted trainer battles that require the player to come up with out-of-the-box solutions in order to progress, with the ultimate goal of escaping the cave they're in.

Key Features

The game features Pokémon, moves, and battle mechanics up to gen 9.

The puzzles consist of 6 trainer battles and 3 overworld puzzles, in combination with several items and game mechanics.

There's an NPC with the ability to offer hints, with each hint coming at the cost of getting additional playtime added to your in-game clock.

You do not have to worry about getting softlocked unless you actively seek to do so (e.g. by tossing away your items).

All battle RNG has been removed with the most intuitive outcomes set to occur (e.g. a 70% accuracy move always hits, a second Protect always fails).

Every puzzle step is meant to feel fair. Anything not directly solvable via logical reasoning is hinted at in one way or another.

None of the battle solutions rely on the AI making suboptimal plays. Switches ignored, there's no way for the AI to prevent you from accomplishing your goal.
