...Huh? ~ Escape Room Carousel ~

A short, absurd visual novel about three friends and the evil UFO who keeps trapping them in escape rooms.

This game was made for the 2026 "Worst Visual Novel Ever Challenge," hosted by KnickknackPJ and omegabutton. It is a collaboration between me and sierraphantom, and it is intended to be goofy and kind of bad, so keep that in mind.

This is a linear visual novel with no branching paths. You also can't save, so the whole thing must be read in one sitting.

The game can be played in browser or downloaded, but please note that the browser version may have longer load times. We also have no way of testing the Mac version.

Controls

Hold any of those buttons to advance text faster

Hold Page Down to skip through text super-fast

F4 toggles fullscreen

Use the arrow keys or mouse to navigate menus (and move around the map...?)

Content Warnings

This is a fairly lighthearted game, but it does contain mentions of:

- Animal attacks and cruelty towards animals

- Hand trauma

- Near-drowning

And, worst of all, capitalism.
