8 Video Game Bosses That Subtly Told You How To Beat Them

While Escape From Lavender Town doesn't contain any boss fights in the traditional sense, the town itself is basically a giant boss puzzle that you have to solve, with the whole point of the game being - as the title suggests - to escape from Lavender Town.

And, at first, the solution to this puzzle is far from obvious.

You're left to wander around the town, interacting with a couple of NPCs and reading a few signs (neither of which will prove helpful in the slightest), but nothing you do seems to get you any closer to escaping, with dead-end buildings and inaccessible pathways at the edge of the screen instilling a sense of futility in your escape efforts.

But brilliantly, the clue is in the title: "escape". Simply give the ESC key a tap and you'll be able to finish the game. You can do this at any time, so you don't even have to waste time wandering around like a headless chicken looking for answers. Which, by the game's design, you will otherwise end up doing.
