I posted this firstly on Reddit in r/tipofmyjoystick but seems like there is no reply. Consider that there does contain a screamer in game, I decided to repost it here to see if anyone knows any clue.
Original Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/comments/1ikgjgx/flash0010_escape_from_public_restroom/
Platform(s): PC, Adobe Flash
Genre: Escape Room, Puzzle, Point-and-Click, Horror?
Estimated year of release: Unknown, I played it around 2009 so should be 00s?
Graphics/art style: Semi-realistic. There are two scenes I remember so I draw it using mspaint, see full description below
Notable characters: All the collected items will be automatically used as soon as you got it, unlike most of the escape room games that require you to select the item then click where you want to use.
Notable gameplay mechanics: The game is about escaping from some sort of public toilet with stalls, where the light is really dark and the atmosphere is a little eerie. Also there is a screamer in the gameplay, however the ghost actually helps the player by giving an item.
Other details:
- I played this game on those early Chinese bootleg Flash game collection website, so I don't really know the original title or even the original language. The title of this post is a direct translation from the original title if I didn't get it wrong.
- The first step after starting the game is to inspect a wall with paper dispenser and trash can (sketch). You get a paper clip in the trash can, then use it to open the paper dispenser to get a cardboard tube.
- After some gameplay, you approach the sink with mirror (the mirror is actually consisted of several smaller mirrors), and will see a bloody-red eye symbol drawn on it (sketch). Clicking the mirror will have the screen zoomed into the mirror while turning darker, then a screamer image that looks like Kayako Saeki from The Grudge appears (not going to post the link here, please follow the original Reddit post for similar scary image), I kinda remember the original image but can't find it) blinks very fast. Then the screen zooms out from the mirror, but before fully zoomed out, the screamer image quickly flashes again. After all that, the mirror's writing changes to "Look Again" with an arrow pointing to the sink (sketch, but I can't remember the layout of the text). The player then inspect the sink again to get an item (forgot what is it)
- This game is NOT "The Farwest Nightmare", although it also starts with a dark restroom scene and also contains screamers. I already tried to search with multiple keywords but this one keeps popping up, which is not what I am looking for.
