The Room

Not much to say, well crafted puzzle game, short, but thats no problem.

What a lovely little gem! I first wondered if this would be something like Her Interactive's Nancy Drew series and was pleasantly surprised; Don't get me wrong - I LOVE the Her Interactive games - this game just went boldly in it's own direction and it was quite elating! (Frankly I would like to see some puzzles like this in the Nancy Drew games!) So no, it's not a mystery to solve with NPC's to question: more of an escape room of puzzles with a bit of tasteful story to seal in the eerie atmosphere. To say more would be to spoil it. Suffice it to say I got it for $5 and I would still have got my money's worth if I'd spent $10!

I've played dozens, if not hundreds of puzzle games on PC, tabletop, and Escape Rooms, and this was wonderfully crafted start to finish. Nice narrative feel without overwhelming or immersion breaking writing, satisfying physicality to components and puzzles despite digital format, amazing soundtrack and environment design, and puzzle design was consistently excellent.

This is a fantastic game that gives a great atmosphere. The music and sound effects constantly have you wondering what is coming next. The puzzles work well. Very good game.

doesn't really feel like a puzzle game but like a match 2 game. there's numbers or shapes and you use the numbers and shapes to to unlock another step. there's no real logic or solving of puzzles

Intriguing puzzle train that tests your power of observation. Not a game that I play for hours on end. Solving a few parts per session keeps the interest alive.

The Room is a well-crafted puzzle game. As the first game of this sort I have ever played, I found it enjoyable and engaging, with cleverly designed challenges that kept me intrigued throughout. Give it a try yourself!

I wait a lot to play these games an I have to say they are short but intense and good, really nice puzzles and really fun for when you need to play something but do not want to comit to a 40+ hours game, I can´t wait to play 3, 4 and VR next

One of the puzzle games I love to come back to, the Room series is one I favor when it comes to good puzzle box/room games. Something that sets this game apart is how everything always fit so well together, the puzzles, the pacing, and the solves. Nothing feels rushed or squished, all parts are thought out and work amazing together in each chapter.

My favorite parts of this game are the directional interactive pieces, there's something so fun about spinning the pieces to the right spot. Another thing i appreciate this game is the fact that a lot of pieces in your inventory are interactive and even some are multi-functional!

Always a game I will recommend!

3 hours was more than enough to complete including wandering off for drinks and snacks. Pretty game, mildly interesting puzzles. A fair bit of fumbling - tweak something, then go round and examine everything again to see what changed. A 'backstory' through notes you find, doesn't matter. Sparse twinkly soundtrack/effects. TBH you could play with your own music on as well.

Surprisingly good if you enjoy puzzles! Loved the intricate designs and atmospheric ambiance.

Fun, challenging but not too hard, atmospheric, and relaxing. Everything you want in a puzzle.

Short, sweet, and a favorite from my childhood. I remember playing this game and the second one over and over again on my old ipad, and the nostalgia they are bringing back is incredible :,] while it is quite simple, the music, sound design, and impressive graphics make it the perfect game to spend a couple hours curled up with! 10/10 recommend, I can't wait to experience the other games in the series!

A brief, enjoyable puzzle experience with satisfying visuals and sound effects. Oddly tense at times despite not being a horror game. Puzzles were a little on the easy side.

My Rating: 4/5

this game is champ and good game if you want to solve it in puzzle and its awesome!

I started playing this game on mobile, and finding out it was on PC was such a treat! The graphics are incredible, the sounds are so satisfying, and I'm someone that loves a good puzzle game. The spooky aesthetic of the game is also beautiful and mystifying.

The Room is a relatively simple and short game about opening a large puzzle box. You progress by solving various small puzzles and uncovering hidden mechanisms and codes. The game isn’t particularly difficult and provides convenient hints to help when you get stuck. It is a neat, relaxing puzzle game experience, though nothing amazing.

During a sale, you can pick it up for around $1, so I'd say it is worth it if it looks like something you would enjoy.

Nice graphics, interesting story, good riddles and task, a good alternative for an escape room. Really enjoyed the game and figuring out the tasks. Sometimes the hints don't really help because they come a little late after I have found the thing they hint at and then they don't update and tell me to find the same thing over and over again when I already know it.

This is a good game to test your patience. The puzzles are not to difficult but certainly get you thinking. Its a play once game but worth getting it if your a fan of puzzles. And at the price of $1.50 it wont break the bank...
+++++*****

This game is truly amazing. The puzzles are awesome, and the ambiance is both simple and immersive. I see three key elements in the game: suspense, problem-solving, and the search for meaning. Despite its seemingly simple appearance, the game is incredibly captivating. I highly recommend this game, and if the rest of the series is similar, you absolutely should play them. While the puzzles aren't overly difficult, the overall experience is a solid 9/10.

I LOVE THIS GAME! The concept and how you interact with world is so interesting that I've played it about 4 times now. I've bought it on the IPad as well (personally I prefer that version better simply because it feels more hands on)

Great game, for 5eur (on discount 1eur) is worth it. Playtime is around 3hours (depends on your logic thinking). I liked the puzzles and storyline. 100% recommend this game if you like to solve puzzles and do your brain workout. Will try other "The Room" series.

A great game with an excellent atmosphere.
The puzzles aren’t really difficult in this first game, but they’re quite satisfying, and in some, you might need to stop and think for a moment to find the solution.
The game works perfectly on the Steam Deck without any issues.
Getting 100% completion doesn’t require anything special—just finishing the game.

10/10 recommended.

the graphics are good and the gameplay is smooth. it is a fun puzzle game. the hints, however, can be absolutely useless at times. You'll be stuck trying to figure out where the game wants you to go next and the hint will be like "i should try looking around"...

Great game; super graphics and brilliant puzzles; not too hard and not totally impossible!

Excellent game for those who enjoy puzzle games, especially those set in mystery/horror settings like the 7th Guest, 11th Hour, etc, but with a Lovecraftian twist to it.

Great puzzle design, graphics, sound design, music and atmosphere. Only downside is the rare occasion when you've been stuck for some time already and don't know what you're looking for, or where, which can be a bit frustrating at times. This can be solved with turning to a walkthrough however, so no problem.

This is a short, but very atmospheric puzzle game. The visuals while very controlled, look great. The lighting is great, and there is a lot of detail in the models; A good thing since you'll be staring at a box the entire game. I loved ambient noises that accompany the quiet puzzle solving, and the music stings. The puzzles are more on the easy side, you won't be needing to take notes here. Frankly, a decent amount of the challenge relies on visual obscurity, not recognizing something is important, but there is a built-in hint system that will let you know if there's some secret compartment somewhere. I recommend grabbing the bundle when the entire series goes on sale, just to maximize your value.

This will have been the last time I ever trust a steam review score at face value.
It's a very well crafted visual experience, but it feels more like one of those shape-learning things for toddlers than anything I'd call a puzzle.

I'm sure it turned some heads when this was first released on the iPad, but as a pc game it's an awful waste of your time.

Amazing game! I've been watching Chris Ramsay on youtube for a while now, and I've been super jealous of all these crazy puzzle boxes that he gets to solve. Now I get to do it myself. My only complaint about the game is that it isn't longer. Not that it's very short either, but that's to say that I could have done many more hours of this.

It's fine. Short and ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, probably to peak your curiosity to get the next one.
I would get it on sale tho.

A great puzzle game (and series) with a mysterious vibe.

The Room is a fairly short, but well made puzzle game. You slide, click buttons, turn thingamajigs and hunt for small nooks and crannies in the environment to poke at. It's a great overall package, with good puzzles, atmosphere and audiovisual presentation. Beware though; gameplay-wise, this is quite an easy game. No reaI sweaty brainpower needed.

I played through this on phone years upon years ago, and that was an absolutely perfect fit for the system. One of the best phone games ever made. Doing things with the mouse here works well enough, and if you haven't played it before; get it. And it's sequels. Still worth playing to this day.

I first played this game on mobile when I was young. Then I didn't quite understand the story. As I played it again on pc I remembered why. The game is quite cryptic when it comes to explaining things. Most of the time you make the connections in your head. However, I think this is what developers intended. Setting aside the story the room is a great puzzle game. The only down side is sometimes it is very hard to see stuff because of darkness and sometimes you think something can't be unlocked because you are touching or pulling wrong. Furthermore, some of larger objects can get really hard to open like cupboards for the reason they coded movement by mouse.

A fun little puzzler. You will complete it quickly, but it is worth it.

Awesome little puzzle game. Had no idea what this game was all about, but found it to be of the highest quality with good production skills and a good level of challenge. I look forward to exploring the other Rooms!

It is a nice short game. The puzzles aren't too simple and it is a nice change of pace to have a puzzle item instead of an escape room. I really enjoyed the attention to detail in the items.

The Room is a charming puzzle game that offers a nice little brain teaser experience. It’s not overly difficult, but it’s engaging enough to keep you entertained as you solve various intricate puzzles and unlock secrets within beautifully designed environments. The atmosphere is immersive, making you feel like you’re on a mysterious adventure. What I love is that it's the kind of game I can come back to a couple of years later for a refresher—it's like picking up an old book you enjoy. If you're looking for a relaxing puzzle game that’s easy to pick up and play, The Room is definitely worth checking out!

A good game for people who like puzzles, the themes in the designs are very well done, although it is not very long, since it is not difficult, it is also a recommended purchase.

Plenty challenging and inventive. Love the graphics. Definitely worth more than the $5 I paid. Would play through again.

Genuinely one of the best games I've ever gotten my hands on - fantastic puzzles and deeply immersive visuals with an intriguing storyline and wonderful progressive puzzle solving that has excellent music and ambience. I am hooked. The puzzles are enjoyably difficult and the hints are a great catch if you find yourself stuck for too long.

First played this game on VR, and I just recently discovered that there's 4 more available on Steam. I absolutely love this game and recommend to everyone who loves mystery and puzzle solving quests. It's quite challenging and super addictive :'D

Awesome puzzle game. Really happy to have played it. Not much in terms of puzzles that don't have some sort of easy intuition. Great for people new to puzzle games.

The puzzles were nice. Lots of trial and errors, and lots of double-clicking. It's not hard and it also doesn't hold your hand much. Never used the hint stuff and it was still quite undemanding.

Like, I'm pretty stupid and even then I managed to 100% the game (basically finish all chapters lol)

The music and ambience was quite creepy -- makes you think that you'll get jumpscared.
The sound of the thingamajig gives you that ASMR fun fun

The Room bundle goes for quite cheap if you're patient :)

Escape-room style game that will keep you busy for some three hours. Those three hours were a lot of fun. The controls are a little bit clunky but it was never too much of a problem. Recommended if you are looking for a casual atmospheric gaming experience to spend a peaceful evening or two playing.

Nice chilled out puzzle game with lovely graphics. An enjoyable evening

The graphics piqued my interest at first because that's usually the first thing I look for in a puzzle game. Yeah not the actual puzzle but the graphic design, because I am not good at puzzles and I can be sure that I will spend a lot of time staring at the screen trying to solve the puzzles thrown at me. So the images better be pleasing to my eyes for me to at least have the will to keep going. I liked the graphics quite a lot and the puzzle bit of this game was also interesting. The only downside for me was that it tended to be too dark in some areas and it was hard for me to notice the important bits hidden within those parts.

Short and sweet puzzler game, took me about 3 hours. (mostly during work meeting)

Beat it in 4 hours on stream. Good vibes. I downloaded the bundle, so can't wait to move on to The Room Two!

If you like a solitaire puzzle game where you have to think and guess what to do next, this is a very good game. Brilliant atmosphere and well made all the way through. And it doesn't get repetative - maybe also because there is only about 4-5 hours game time before the riddle is solved. The game starts with hints activated but I turned them off and managed to get through without hints. You can always activate hints again if you get stuck - which I was close to do on a few occasions. So it will never get too frustrating.
If you don't like such at type of game, you will hate it. Go look for something else :-)

Very friendly with people that struggle with puzzles like myself, but doesn't hold your hand and can be challenging. Its a good relax kinda game and not needing to stress over every puzzle. Not to mention the cool mechanics.
