Today, I want to talk about an impressive game I didn’t pass in elementary school, Sue beauty room. It’s like an escape game with time limitations. Sue, the main character of this game, has overslept. Players should help her find her things and dress up to prepare for school on time.
It’s effortless to play; there are some interactive objects that players can move the cursor to change their state, like moving the cursor to the pillow; the pillow will be lifted so that players can see the prop which originally under the pillow. Then, collecting the prop.
Thirteen props need to be found, not too much in 100 seconds. But what makes this game so hard for a child is how to use the props. 10 of the 13 props are regular props, while the other three can be used to interact with the scene to find other props, the torch, the hook and the keys. Although players know they should use props and one prop can be used in different places, some places need to interact with props set very inconspicuously. Meanwhile, each game’s props will re-spawn in other areas, so players cannot memorize their location to save more exploration time. In that era when the Internet was not too developed, I did not go to look for a walkthrough. I can only play more by myself; I tried many times, but there are always one or two props to the end I can not find.
A few years ago, I suddenly remembered this game, checking the strategy to know that the key can open the two cabinets below the bookshelf and the two drawers on the dresser. There was no keyhole sign in that drawer, so I kept ignoring it. It sounds funny that a little thing would trap me for many years. Fortunately, I found the answer. Do you want to play this game?
