About the Game

The Puzzler is a first-person escape room style puzzle game where you must solve challenging puzzles using a unique spell-casting system. Trapped in the eerie castle of the mysterious Puzzler, you’ll explore the castle's chambers, uncover hidden clues, and use spells to interact with the world around you. Only your mind can set you free. Can you escape before the castle claims you for good?

This game was made by students from George Brown College and then polished for a Steam release.
