Synopsis of Crack the Egg's L'Inquiétant Dr. Tychsen escape game:

"For a week now, Hans Drummer, your classmate and friend, has been missing. Your suspicions fall on your archaeology teacher, Gerhardt Tychsen, whose behavior has changed. Today, he's giving a lecture: the perfect opportunity to break into his office and find out more. You only have an hour before he returns. Will you be able to find your friend?

Our review of L'Inquiétant Dr. Tychsen at Crack the Egg:

A room we tested some time ago. In terms of immersion, we're definitely there, and the archaeologist's office, very much in the German style of the 20s, helps a lot, even if we would have liked a few "frivolities" to make us dream a little more (ok, it's not Indiana Jones, but still...).

As for the mechanics, we had a bit of trouble with one of them, which held us up for quite a while. But don't think that the puzzles are insurmountable, far from it: they're not easy, of course, but they're challenging enough for us to rise to the challenge without getting bored. Some of the mechanisms didn't seem to run very smoothly to us, but that's a snapshot in time. It's up to you to make up your own mind by testing.

It's an adventure we didn't finish, but we'll take our revenge for that. Still, it's worth the detour if you like a challenge!
