Eskkapee
Eskkapee is a room escape game pared down to its most basic elements: you've got a TV, a computer, a couch, a handful of items to collect and four white walls. The graphics, while not unappealing, are nothing special (they look a little bit like marker drawings crossed with watercolors, actually). The gameplay is similarly minimalist; up until the final puzzle, barely any challenge is presented.
Still, that final puzzle does require you to exercise the ol' noggin, and sometimes it's nice to play something so straightforward; provided me with an ego boost, certainly. You won't find any blindingly brilliant puzzles in Eskkapee, or be dazzled by the room's beauty, but the game will nonetheless provide a few minutes of satisfying room escape fun.

Walk through:
Click the two cushions on the pink sofa to gain a remote control and a blue key.
Go left and receive a battery and a screwdriver. Leave the locked drawer for now.
Go left. Use the blue key on the locked cupboard. Receive another battery and a red key.
Go right and use the red key on the bottom of the orange drawer. Receive a cord.
Go left and use the cord on the computer. This turns it on.
Look at your remote control. Turn it over and use the screwdriver to remove the back cover. Put your batteries in.
The TV shows what the camera sees. To find the password for the computer, you need to aim the camera at the right cushion when it is up. Use the TV to see the password.
Enter password in computer and leave.
A disappointingly short but fun game.
