It's a really short game which stands out by virtue of having charming yet weirdly unnatural pitch-shifted voice acting. This mostly works for me apart from the death sound which is honestly one of my least favorite death sounds in any fangame. The general platforming and boss was otherwise pretty average.

I wish it were longer T.T
More seriously, as a submission for the Shortventure contest, the production value is honestly astonishing. While it's already really appreciated when games made for the event manage to be finished in time, Escape the Mansion goes far beyond that. With hand-drawn tiles, an captivating even though short story, and EVEN VOICE ACTING, the game offers an amazing horror experience, that could easily stand up to the other games of this genre that didn't have any deadline restriction.
Moreover, the boss and credits make a great conclusion for such an enjoyable fangame, and, if I had to be honnest, my initial complaint about the game not being long enough isn't justified, and I think its short length, while probably leaving a somewhat anticlimactic feeling for most people, also contributes to the game's charm and identity, as a short adventure you go through without any expectations, but turns out to be both great and enjoyable right up to the very end.

Pretty adorable adventure game, it's very short but it feels more expansive than it truly is, you navigate these large rooms trying to use your very limited tools to navigate, it's not as in depth as I'm making it sound but for what it is, it's nice. The boss is pretty good, the dynamic of only being able to damage them by inflicting recoil on yourself makes for a really interesting fight despite the low difficulty. All in all, a very cool easier fangame!

Fun and short beginner adventure game. The platforming is quite well done, with some cool maneuvers that take advantage of the gimmick. There's also a boss that can be a little bit annoying, but it's also pretty fun and I wouldn't say it significantly detracts from the game. Overall, a nice quick game that's easy to recommend, particularly for beginners.
