Escape the Clinic is a free first-person puzzle horror game from JubleLemonSeed. You play a doctor who wakes up trapped in his own office and has to get out of a haunted clinic by finding clues, keys and passwords, with a mysterious woman waiting outside. The developer frames it as one large escape room with spirits roaming the halls, which suits solo players after a quick, no-cost scare.
Players rate it Mostly Positive, with 181 of 248 reviews in favour. Written feedback in our sample is minimal, so this verdict leans on the ratio and tags. Tag votes put puzzle and horror at the top, alongside walking simulator and perma death, which suggests a mix of exploring corridors and key-and-code hunting with some risk of failure.
The one written review we have calls it boring and not scary, and about a quarter of all reviews are negative, so expect a modest indie effort rather than a polished horror game. As it costs nothing, it is worth a try if you like haunted escape rooms with keys and passwords; just keep expectations low on scares and production values.
Pros
- Free to play
- Whole haunted clinic works as one large key-and-password escape room
Cons
- Some players found it boring and not scary
- Single-player only, with modest production values
- Very little written player feedback to go on
About
Waking up trapped in his office, a doctor must find a way out of his own place of work. A mysterious woman awaits outside. Malevolence waits inside. "Escape the Clinic" is a first person puzzle horror game, where the player has to find clues, keys, and passwords to find a way out of the building. It should be treated like a large escape room - albeit one with mysterious spirits about.
