Our verdict
5.5/10
- Difficulty: Medium
- Players: 1
- Playtime: 1–2 h
Intrepid is a free sci-fi escape room and the first game from Miskatonic Studio. You wake from cryo-sleep to find the rest of the crew dead and the ship about to explode, and must search it for items and security codes to get off in time. It suits solo players who want a no-cost puzzle room to try.
Reception is split almost exactly in half: 43 positive and 44 negative of 87 Steam reviews. The one detailed written review praises the commitment to the escape-room format, with locked doors, encrypted systems and hidden objects, and likes that the game leaves you to work things out without heavy hints.
The even split suggests many players found it rough or unsatisfying, though the written evidence does not say why. Expect a modest first project rather than a polished release. Since it costs nothing, it is an easy download if you are curious about spaceship escape rooms; if you have limited time, there are better-received options in this catalog.
Pros
- Free to play
- Spaceship escape with codes and items to piece together
- Leaves players to solve puzzles without heavy hints
Cons
- Reviews split evenly between positive and negative
- Modest debut project with little detail on its strengths
