Our take on Why Not?
The defining structure is a single office escape mission in which key-finding and closet hiding support the search for a notebook while a creature gives chase.
What is Why Not??
Escape an office while searching for the notebook of a crazy doctor.
The current game contains one mission. The objective is to find the notebook and leave so the government can learn how the doctor created the creature. Exploration involves locating keys that open doors and lead toward the notebook. The creature chases the player through the office, creating a survival challenge during the search. Closets provide hiding places where the player can wait until the creature goes away. The game is part of a horror series. New missions, a multiplayer mode, and trade cards are described as planned additions rather than current content.
