If you enjoy puzzle games with an immersive, almost magical feel, this one is a must-play. Simple yet brilliant.

Feb. 2025

The Room is a puzzle game where you solve a series of intricate puzzle boxes to uncover the secret of A.S., the person who called you to solve them. The gameplay here is pretty simple: you just solve puzzles. Each stage, you're given one puzzle box, and you have to click around to figure out how each part opens or moves. The puzzles weren't very difficult. The only times I got a little bit stuck were because it wasn't clear that something was movable. There were a few puzzle types that were repeated once or twice, but it didn't happen enough to bore me by the end. The Room doesn't have a very developed story, but it is very atmospheric. What story you get comes in the form of notes from A.S., which give you some insight into what they were researching. The game has a mysterious vibe to it that gets creepier as you get further into the levels, from the increasing strangeness of the notes, the changing details of the room around you, and the odd noises mixed in with the background music. This game was originally a mobile game and the movements you have to make were clearly designed with a touch interface in mind. You have to turn keys and cranks and pull up on lids. You also have to move the camera around to see the puzzle boxes from all sides or to line elements up a certain way for some of the puzzles. I played on a computer with a mouse, so some of those movements felt a little awkward. It was also a little annoying to have to adjust the camera so much to see certain things straight on. Overall, I liked The Room. While the puzzles weren't difficult, I wasn't bored with them, and I enjoyed the creepy atmosphere. Although it was a bit short, I felt like I got a decent value out of the game, and I'm really curious to see what the rest of the series will have to offer. 7/10

Dec. 2024

This game was fun and unique and just the right amount of difficult. It made me feel smart (I am not), and was a short but satisfying game to 100%. I recommend The Room if you like puzzles or even just want a stress free game to pass a couple of hours. The only con I could really think of is I don’t think this game offers much replayability (not the devs fault, just the nature of this kind of game). Looking forward to playing the rest of this series !!

🧩Enigmatic cube dipped in intrigue and sprinkled with ancient secrets. It’s the kind of game that makes you feel simultaneously brilliant and bewildered. You’re in a dimly lit room, surrounded by ornate furniture, dusty manuscripts, and inexplicably locked drawers. Your mission? To solve puzzles and to unravel mysteries that would make Da Vinci raise an eyebrow.🕵️‍♂️Remember, the key to solving life’s mysteries is probably hidden behind that suspicious-looking painting.🎨 😄Disclaimer: The author of this review may or may not have been trapped in a puzzle box while writing it. 🔐
