Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. One creator, Hottategoya, became known for short, bite-sized escape room games. Let's look at a work of his - Escape from the Room Surrounded by Bookshelves.

To play Escape from the Room Surrounded by Bookshelves, just run it with whatever SWF player you have.

This game has no story, which is completely fine, as the game is incredibly short. The setting, a single room that is surrounded by bookshelves, is surprisingly creepy and gives off a ton of atmosphere that surpass his other works, which tend to feature barren rooms that while creepy, get repetitive after a while.

Fortunately, there's no pixel hunting to be found, and you won't have to click on an individual book at any point. The puzzles are, as ever, incredibly intuitive and can be solved within ten minutes if you're relatively good at escape room games. Even if you're not, it's doubtful that this will take you over half an hour.

All in all, Escape from the Room Surrounded by Bookshelves is a great introduction to the series and gives you a hint of what's to come.
