The Room
A mysterious invitation leads to the attic of an abandoned house. In the room is a cast-iron safe laced with strange carvings and on top, a note from your distant companion. It promises something ancient and astonishing concealed in the iron chamber - you need only find a way in.

“Review: The Room I opened The Room expecting a puzzle game. What I got was a slow, respectful relationship with an extremely complicated wooden box. You spend most of your time in this game rotating objects like you’ve…”
“The Room is honestly such a satisfying puzzle game... solving everything on your own without cheating or watching YouTube just feels different... every puzzle makes you think and when you finally figure it out the…”
“Cool but short puzzle game. I like it though I would recommend getting it on a sale.”

“A simple but not too easy puzzle game that many people have probably already played on mobile at somepoint. Each section gives you three hints, and if that somehow is not enough there are always steam guides. If you…”
“I went into The Room not knowing exactly what to expect, and it completely exceeded everything I had in mind. This game is a masterclass in puzzle design. Every single puzzle feels carefully crafted to actually…”
“Very cool game, it's not like other thinking games that are too hard and just make you frustrated, but it's not an easy game as well. Six hours for five chapters is kind of a lot, but it was my first playthrough, and I…”

“Pretty complicated game, but I honestly loved it, the puzzles were both amazing and a little confusing and fun. I also love the visuals and the ambient sounds”

“really good collection of puzzle boxes. no messing around, here's a box, open it, next. it's a mobile port but done reasonably well and without asking 20 bucks for it, like some subpar ripoffs do. should take about 2-3…”
“Hood certifed classic. Outstanding puzzle game with high immersion, Story can feel rather short but the price is right for content offered. Personal Rating: 5/5 Stars (Hood Certifed Classic).”

“A story-based puzzle game. Wasn't too challenging, but was challenging enough to need my brain to solve the puzzles. Some sort of story, leaves a lot to your imagination.”
“Medium difficulty, very fun. Had some moments where I was stuck for a few minutes cos I couldn't find the next puzzle. Solid 8/10, -2 cos I could have finished it faster and it ended on a cliff hanger lol, spoiler…”
“It's definitely not worth it for a full price, so I bought it in a bundle and on a sale with the other three "The Room" games. And well, 3,1 zł in return for 1,8 hour of fun was worth it. The game is small in scale, but…”

“[h2]A Supreme Game Trapped in an Unstable Port[/h2] [h3]Rating: 8/10[/h3] The Room is a rare example of a game that understands exactly what it wants to be and executes its core loop with surgical precision. However, while the puzzles are a 10/10, the PC port brings some baggage…”

Now that I've played it again, and completed it, I want to say that this is the best puzzle game I've ever played. It's such a simple concept yet executed superbly. The puzzles have a nice balance to…”
