After a few years away, Neutral has returned with an all-new escape the room game! Somehow, you are trapped in a strange room. Search for hidden items and clues, solve puzzles and find your way out. Have fun escaping from LEVEL.

Does anyone else have a black screen after loading the game?
Working fine for me. So nice, huge one, am already in a third part of the game...
Yeah, same here. Tried in multiple browsers and on 2 separate devices, but getting a black screen as well..
Black screen indeed
I have no problems loading the game in Chrome and in Edge. Where are you having problems?
Chrome and Firefox
There are 4 parts, and I have escaped, what a lovely game, thank you!
me too
Same here
that was the game that just kept giving - everytime i thought i was out, a new room! managed to solve a couple of puzzles by chance I think rather than the intended way. Lots of fun though! not too hard you couldn't solve completely, but not too easy.
More like that please!
I've only been able to test on MacOS (Sonoma 14.3), but I've not been able to load it on multiple devices and in Chrome, Firefox or Safari.. It loads the main menu, but when you start a new game it does load the inventory but shows a black screen for the scene (it is showing the navigation arrows). So might be a MacOS problem?
Could be it is MacOS related, as I have only tested on Windows. Let's hope Neutral fixes the problem, because it's an amazing escape game!
Windows computer. Chrome. Black screen
same here: firefox
That was a great challenge. Had to get out a pencil and paper for the final puzzle.
That was the best room escape I played in years. Very well done.
same problem here, Mac iOS Sonoma 14.6.1. black screen on safari, chrome and firefox
Response from the creator, they're asking the community to let them know if you're experiencing the black screen issue. Help them out to narrow down where the problem is:
" We have received some reports that the game fails to launch when accessed from overseas, and we are currently investigating the issue.
If you encounter this problem, please provide us with the following information (feel free to let us know even if the game is functioning properly).
- Your country of residence

- Details of the issue
Please contact us at: pochidog-game@yahoo.co.jp
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation."
same problem MacOs Sequoia 15.2
WHHHOOOOOOOOOAH NEUTRAL IS BACK BABY!
Game breaks at the first puzzle with the 3 plants - door keeps opening and closing and can't click on anything.
Had the same issue with different browsers. Workaround: portable version of browser, tried successfully with Firefox portable and Chrome portable. https://portableapps.com/apps/internet
"The fix has been completed." seen on https://neutralxe.net/room/
Yes Neutral confirmed the game should now be working for everyone
Worked for me, on Chrome on Linux. It's a good game -- I got stuck a couple of times, but stepping away for a day or so was a fix both times.
What a swell Christmas present from Neutral (and Mya). Another classic escape adventure. Tricky and easy by turns but a thoughtful, beautiful and entertaining game. Thanx to all its creators.
nice gaming
That was excellent. I whiffed on a couple of the puzzles but definitely a me thing. All of Mya's games are brilliant, and it's no surprise that this one was a throwback to the golden age of escape games — logical but in a glorious way that's deductive, surprising, artful and just a huge pleasure to solve.
In other news, Mani Morishita (kotorinosu), another escape game legend, has a new game dropping imminently. Good times!
Wait, I played a long time and made it up to the attic. Then I shut down and came back. The "LOAD" button is inactive. Have I lost all my progress?
The game was fully playable for me in Firefox Mobile on my phone. I found the only tricky part for touch control was the piano keys.
I ended up needing the walkthrough because I was overthinking one puzzle, but I solved a different puzzle by accident and spent the whole game thinking I'd missed something, so I'll call it a draw. Breaking out pen and paper for the numeral puzzle was a treat!
A fantastic classic-style escape and a worthy addition to Mya's body of work!
Excellent game, thank you
I think you have to manually save and reload, it doesn't auto-save.
Aargh. Looks like you're right. Oh, well. Playing my way back to where I was didn't take as long as I expected. Superb game. I love it when items you've successfully interacted with turn to have further successful interactions awaiting down the road.
