This review is based on my 100% game completion, including all achievements, and reflects my personal experience.

probably the best puzzle game i've ever played and the start of a great game series despite the games age it holds up really well

I've played this franchise before on my phone, but due to memory issues, I didn't remember everything about the game, but that adds to the fun of seeing what I remember and how the game progresses.

it felt like myst puzzles, which I LOVED, but all the puzzles came to me, I didn't have to go find them. Super fun!

Enjoyable. Something to pass the time. Puzzles are pretty simple and easy. 6/10

The Room is a masterfully crafted puzzle game that draws you in with its atmosphere, clever design, and satisfying mechanics. Every puzzle feels intuitive and rewarding, with just the right balance of challenge and discovery.

The attention to detail is phenomenal - from the mysterious story elements to the beautifully animated puzzle boxes, it all works together to create an immersive and engaging experience.

If you enjoy puzzle games, this one is a must-play. I genuinely love everything about it.

The game has a beautiful art style and a nice mysterious ambiance, nevertheless the puzzles are so much straight forward that outside finding the next clue, there is no challenge whatsoever to solve the game. I am a Myst/Riven fan and this game is a big disappointment. I was expecting so much more when seeing the overwhelming positive reviews. I played the Room VR and had the exact same issue with that game too.

Really enjoyed it! The puzzles were challenging and the story was great!

It was a fun way to keep my brain occupied for a few hours. I HATE THE LIL BALL, THOUGH (Ch5). Stupid thing took forever to move to the correct position. The last puzzle could've been more difficult, too.

An intriguing little puzzle game that doesn't leave you stuck and stranded but also doesn't spoil the game with its hints. Recommended for any puzzle or mystery lover as there seems] to be more to his game than meets the eye.

Puzzles are not logical nor fun to solve. Felt like a waste of time.

The Room is where it all began — a brilliantly tactile puzzle game that lets you interact with strange mechanical boxes filled with secrets.

It's fine to play by yourself, but it really shines when played with somebody.
Those puzzles are very entertaining with no obvious answer. Sometimes I even had to take clues.
This game is relatively short, but it's worth it. To conclude, take your friend by surprise, throw him into a dark room, and then force him to play with you. :3

Good puzzles, challenging but not unduly so. Game play is smooth with an easy point and click approach.

Good interesting puzzles with an interesting and effective world and sound design

a decidedly captivating puzzle game with some real character behind it, the puzzles aren't too tricky in my opinion and resources abound online if you find yourself stuck. even at full price it's a steal!

Truly insane levels of peak here. Lovecraftian horror series disguised as a very clever, well made, and brain scratching puzzle series.

A friend of mine told me about this game and asked me to try it out. I'm happy I did because The Room is an amazing brain-teaser with an immersive atmosphere that you could replay a year later and still have fun. The puzzles are hard but still doable and overall really nice to play with. I'm definitely going to keep playing the series.

Meh, not bad but only okay on special - decent atmospheric thing to fiddle with on your second monitor for a few hours. Nice presentation but not a fan of the lack of brightness setting. I found the story and puzzles a bit lacklustre but is an okay experience.

I'll leave a positive review because my overall experience with the game is positive but this is still a meh from me.

10/10 visuals and quality audio but most of the puzzles somehow feel railroadish ? Like, puzzles will get solved mostly on vibes, at least more than on logic. It's more about "oh this feels right" and boom it's solved than it is about actual reflection and that does feel weird for a game with such mysterious undertones to play like a feel-good ADHD catalyst.

The game is also very short, i finished it in about 2 hours while taking breaks with the game still open in the background.

Short duration and low puzzle difficulty aren't really a downside if it's what you are searching for but I will say that I saw many people praising the vibes and story of the game but it keeps things really cloudy throughout the whole thing and I feel like there isn't really any payoff at the end. It just kinda stops.

I did get it really really cheap so still, positive experience, but maybe don't buy the game at full price or even just skip this one if you are looking for puzzles and not just a point and click steamtoy with spooky ambiance.

I really enjoyed this game. It was just nice not to see a game with an guns, violence or about war. There should be more puzzle games in the world.

I really love this puzzle game! The puzzles were really making the wheels in my head turning. I look forward to playing its succeeding games and unlocking its secrets.

Played this many many years ago when I was around 10 or 11 when my aunt showed it to me on her phone. I fell in love with the series ever since and now own all the games and replay them occasionally. This game was very formative to my love of eldritch horror and puzzle games, and I will never stop singing its praises. The first game is the perfect length to get into the series IMO, with just the right complexity as an exploration to the basic mechanics of the series and an intro to the lore as well. 10/10 would always recommend.

This isn't just a puzzle game it's a journey into the unknown. The puzzles aren't overly difficult... in fact, the solutions are often right in front of you, just cleverly hidden. I really enjoyed the experience. It's perfect for fans of puzzle games, or beginners looking to try one for the first time.

It also really doesn’t take long to complete, making it a great pick-up-and-play experience.

Really nice puzzle game that only takes a couple of hours to complete. Good level of difficulty that has some spikes here and there (for those who have played more puzzle games) but remains manageable. The story is a little mysterious but provides enough motivation to keep you going (besides the joy of solving the puzzle on its own).

What a fun little game! A great way to unwind, and hard enough to be challenging without being obtuse

It's challenging & supposedly "Great on Deck", but the scrollpad/trigger controls aren't as easy as mousing, especially in timed actions.

An exquisite and comprehensively designed puzzle game, with some mysticism themed background.

Perfect game for a date night. The story, as well as visualizations are very well designed.

it was fun finding lore and figuring out the puzzles. it didn't feel as random as some other puzzle games. everything had a reason for being there and the visuals were stunning. great for people who like a little creepy atmosphere without any jump scares

Puzzles that go from easy to hard. The graphics are fantastic. Plenty to keep you busy for a bit.

I've been looking for an low stakes, relaxing puzzle game and I think I found the right one! Just enough challenge to be satisfying to figure out, but not too difficult to be frustrating.

Short puzzle game with a spooky atmosphere without going into full blown horror

Looks great, puzzles were interesting and very nicely designed. The controls were a bit clunky sometimes when it came to opening boxes or spinning stuff, but it wasn't enough to take away from the game. Very fun way to kill a couple of hours.

I played the game with the exciting and fun way. Although the game was pretty hard for sure, I still completed it with my friend. Fortunately, I have my friend to solve the game without him I think I could not complete it. If you guys think it too expensive, it will be worth with the price.

I wasn't going to leave a review at first, but this came to me in a time that I was really bored and unsure what to play next in my library. Happy to say I was engaged all throughout it's runtime and when it was finished, I was left wanting more. Definitely rekindled that love for puzzle games in me I thought died off with windows XP.

Very nice game despite being so short! People have likely finished it way faster than I did but I found it very enjoyable.

I found pretty easy to navigate throughout the game play. There were few puzzle scenes that I was stuck but then it was pretty obvious where to go next to unlock the item.
It was a nice game to challenge and lay back playing it.

Short, and a little hard to see with the low brightness. But pretty good for what it is. A fun little set of puzzle boxes you need to open.

Good fun for escape room and puzzle box enthusiasts.

Short game but excellent puzzles. I didnt need hint but it was challenging. Perfect puzzles

I bought the collection with all of The Room games and they have truly been a wonderful experience to play through! Each and every one of them is worth playing, including this one even when it is the oldest of the bunch.

Go get the collection if you enjoy some really good puzzles!

Masterpiece. Every other point and click puzzle game is just trying to capture the high you feel when playing The Room Franchise. The world building, soundtrack, visuals and puzzles go together perfectly to create something you can't find anywhere else.

The Room is an absolutely fantastic puzzle game that keeps you on your toes from start to finish! 🧩 The puzzles are well thought out and beautifully designed, providing moments of true satisfaction when you figure them out. 🏆 While some challenges can be tough, they’re what make the game so addictive and rewarding. 💡 It’s the perfect balance of difficulty that pushes you to think creatively and keeps you coming back for more. The immersive atmosphere and stunning visuals make every discovery feel like a mini victory. 🌟 If you're a fan of puzzles and love a good brain teaser, The Room is definitely worth playing! 🔐🎮

this game is very fun, my mum and i like to play it together and try to work out the puzzles, it doesn't take too long to complete the game but we really enjoyed it and i'm looking forward to learning more about whats going to happen in the story (although i was paying a lot more attention to the puzzles than the story lol..)

I really wanted to like this game. Puzzles were very random without much sense and there is no story.

Controls also seem a bit stiff when trying to interact with buttons and spinning objects.

I did end up beating this game as I thought eventually it was going to click for me but it just didnt happen. I reached the end and realized that the game was jsut not that satisfying.

I did like the eerie mood the game has but thats about it.

Short game. Puzzles were fun but the controls were a bit wonky.

I played Boxes earlier this year, and loved it. Saw this on sale, and figured I'd give it a go, and was not disappointed! Really great game! Challenging, without being frustrating, and so much fun to watch it all unfold :)

there are some fun puzzles, u can play for some hours to complete the story, and this game have a lore, but who really cares (tv girl reference) the lore in a freaking puzzle game

On sale worth, not to easy not to hard, little short, 9/10.
