The Room Three

Fun puzzle game. Some chapters are very long and rely on stuff from earlier chapters which wouldn't normally be bad but with the chapters taking place days or weeks later can make for hard to remember what goes where. I like it when everything is in the same room or one room over. Many rooms prior in multiple chapters earlier isn't the best way to structure this IMHO.

I think it should have been more like 8 or 9 chapters instead of 6 with every puzzle piece in each chapter. But I'm not trying to complain as I enjoyed the game and the series so far, just the earlier games I liked better.

After playing all four parts, i can say this was the hardest of the room games. puzzle are tough in some situation and for me, to see alternate ending, i needed the help of a guide. I started the room franchise game many years ago on mobile and i am glad that i was able to continue it.

Easily recommend 💯

Out of the 3 room games I have played this is my least favorite. Here are a few reasons why:

There was entirely too much clicking to zoom in and out and the right click to go out of come areas but not out of item descriptions. The eye glass to go through portals seemed unnecessary as well.
The theme of this one was not nearly as cool as room 2.
The letters added nothing to the solutions, which I THINK a few did in room 2. The stories are very similar and starting to blur together. I might need to take a break before room 4.
I also found it hard to figure out where certain objects went without going into every room again and clicking everywhere. Some things were hidden a bit TOO well.
The multiple endings were cool in theory, but once again, repetitive.

The graphics are awesome, as always. If you are going to play this game, I recommend making a LIST of the clues, what is needed to solve them (crank, socket/shape, power, etc), and where they are. That way you can check off what you have done and what you still have left. I wish I did that from the beginning.

The whole thing took me 4 hours, with another 3 for the alternate endings. While it was nice to have a longer game, I found it way too confusing (especially the table map with ALLLLLL the portals.) I guess I would recommend, just not as much as room 2. I found room 1 to be a precursor just to get used to the game and puzzles.

Another excellent instalment in The Room series. The story pulls you along more in this one, the graphics are gorgeous as always, and the puzzles are very varied and for the most part very intuitive. There's still the odd one where if your screen brightness isn't turned up to maximum you've got no chance, and there's one instance right towards the end that I do think is bad game design (and I'm not alone judging by other online comments and reviews) which sours it just slightly, but that's one tiny part of an otherwise brilliant game.

For the most part, this puzzle game is really something special. Everything from the first two games has been pushed to the Nth degree. The puzzles are really cool, with each section of the game having its own theme and puzzles built around them. One of the unique mechanics in the series has been expanded and improved upon, both in terms of gameplay and the lore of the game. New to this third game are secret puzzles, that lead to different endings. These are awesome additions, and make the pseudo-open world fun to explore (another really cool addition). However, replaying previous chapters has been removed, and I found that quite disappointing. The cool story and incredible atmosphere have been continued, and once again the game assumes that you have played the previous games and understand their story. Despite my minor gripe, this puzzle game is amazing, and the best of the series so far, hands-down.

This one is more challenging than the first two games, but not in a good way - fake difficulty.

Most of the puzzles are easy, but a lot of time is wasted on backtracking and traversing through the main hub area while trying to solve something. A lot of the puzzles that are not easy are convoluted and you would not get them done without a hint or guide to point out some details that are not really subtle or even understandable. If people that play puzzle games resort to clicking anything and everything to get something to work, that means your puzzles are not good.

The main issue I have overall is that the game is insanely linear. Almost all the puzzles and elements need to be done in a specific order and that is awful game design for this type of game.

I would give it a neutral, but can't say I was angry or even very interested in the game once I realized the entire game is going to play out as the introduction... fairly linear and safe.

Yes! They managed to make another great sequel to this amazing series of puzzle games! Just play the first two and come back to this and keep playing!

A minor note on this one, not really a fan of the whole multiple ending thing but that's just me...

4/5 Final tem coisas meio sem nexo e com coisa de hora do pc com do jogo q n gosto mas experiencia bem boa no geral.

A great puzzle game that has the most unique puzzle desings ı have seen .

With 5 parts and 4 endings this game is very well made and polished ı recommend it however , some puzzles are very out there solving them isnt hard the problem is they are very rail roaded and hard to see .
The moment u understand the basics of the puzzle your next 10 mins is repeating the task until its solved ; an example The Forge where u need to figure out how to open the main puzzle but after u figure out how u spend half the map time crafting the almost same key 3 times (ı had to craft 5 because ı forgot the right use time) u have to put the iron , re-do casts , pump air , watch the same animation , take the key out of the water this is only an example but the previous games didint had this.

The ending are the main course of this game after puzzles and they are great , short and do not explain everyting and let the player think ı got them all and love them all getting them without a guide is ...hard

The forge issue strikes again when getting the items for ending 2-3-4 and you have to go place A do 1 thing 10 second walk animation go place B do 1 thing many times u see the same animation of a certain card 4 times it gets old and this do translate to the ending where u solve end puzzle 4 times do 2 puzzle lens 4 times then do ending 2 item puzzle 2 times do ending 3 puzzle 2 times to get the endings..

Dont get me wring ı love this game ı recomend it its made by a studio with love and care however this game cares about unique puzzles that dont fit the enviroment and so many un-needed animations , which might be a nitpic.

After room 1 , 2 , 3 this is most risk taking title ı recomend it grafics are great some areas are visual delights.

this game is lovecraft and myst's baby and ı recomend ıt .

Very complex.Not easy.
Pity that The room four I purchased is faulty and does not dowload correcty and was wasted!

The Room 3 is undoubtedly the most challenging installment I've played so far in the series (yet to try The Room 4). It excels in detail with multiple intricately designed rooms and a captivating storyline. The inclusion of multiple endings was a standout feature, and the way every item tied together in the final puzzles was satisfying to see unfold. Admittedly, the back and forth between rooms felt a bit repetitive at times, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the immersive puzzles and atmospheric experience.

Another really good Room game. If you've enjoyed the first two, this is a must play. It expands scale in a great way without becoming too bloated, and finally has a meta/secret puzzle present, which has felt lacking from the first two games. It also feels more cohesive than either of the prior two, with much better narrative connection between the individual rooms.

It does lack some quality of life, and at times feels like it disrespects your time. This is most obvious in the bigger rooms, and when navigating back and forth repeatedly across the hub area, where the locked navigation points and camera moves, which are great the first time, are slow and spit you out at arbitrary angels when returning for a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc, etc, time while trying to do something else. Toward the end of the game, specifically when going for the alternate endings, the game-play becomes around 30 seconds of clicking between locations and waiting for the camera to pan between them, followed by 10 seconds of actual puzzling or progress, repeated several dozen times. It severely needed a way to speed up camera panning. That said, the entire game is only a few hours long, so its not a deal-breaking issue. just annoying.

A room within a room within a room... There is a lot of movement in this game. I liked it except for it being clunky. Double clicking to move got so tedious when you had to go back and forth so many times. The setting was eerie but interesting. I didn't like doing the same electricity puzzle four times. Also I'm not a fan of multiple endings. So repeating the same sequence four times for that but adding slight variations was annoying. Overall because of these cons, it wasn't the best in the series.

This one was great - I liked having the central "hub" to solve problems around, but this one started to feel like it was dragging on and on and on. I was starting to get bored of the environment towards the end and I didn't enjoy the fate system. This one I had to use a guide on because I didn't feel like spending hours for the additional endings with no hints. Eff the clock - iykyk.

this whole series of games is just awesome, i will always be down to play more of the room - the puzzle design is always very unique and engaging, and i for one am a big fan

A very fun puzzle with a uneasy feeling of being watched its awsome

Love this series. Puzzles are sometimes easy, sometimes more nuanced, but not super hard. Got stuck a couple times finding the other endings but not too bad. Love the visuals and the feel of messing around with mechanical contraptions in dimly lit studies. Inject that aesthetic into my veins

My only complaint is make movement between areas considerably faster after you've done it once. The extra endings require you moving back and forth in the hub many times and these transitions are rather slow. Similarly, make an indicator that shows when you can click or interact, aka when a movement animation is done. A bunch of times I missed that you could use an item on something because I was still in a movement animation when I dragged the item over where it was meant to be used, and the game wouldn't let me use it during movement, confusing me.

short fun game story continues multiple endings was a cool addition on this one.

This series just keeps getting better and better. As long as they keep making these, I'll keep buying!

What an absolute masterpiece! The amount of puzzles included in this game is more than The Room and The Room 2 combined. And the difficulty level has a taken a spike.

I really liked multiple endings bit that you guys have put in this game. Thanks Fireproof!

Lots of fun. Personally I prefer the original game for being just straight complex little compartments around *generally a singular piece. This game takes the original idea but adds a storyline concept, so you're solving the puzzle boxes with objects and mechanisms around the room. Forces some of the puzzles to segway you to the next part, so the downside is you're guided along what to do next in multiple parts. Overall, still had a lot of fun playing and enjoy the mystery and lore going into the game.

Fantastic game, really well thought through, but it is a little annoying how much back and forth you have to go and the time it takes.

Like the first and second game, this was a really nice play
The only thing that really annoyed me still is that the mouse control of everything is sometimes really funky and doesn't want to play along.
Still fun, looking forward to the fourth and last game.

After completing Games 1-4 I decided to write my reviews for the games one after the other, and that's similar to how I felt compelled to play these games, jumping into the next one immediately.

I feel like I'm at one with the character, constantly being drawn further into the mystery of these environments, creating a great sense of ludonarrative harmony. And there's something just eternally cool about all the clockwork mechanisms the devs designed that I never feel like I'm bored watching them unfold.

My gameplay time is equal to the amount of time needed to complete the game; you'll notice that it's quite longer. That's because this game appears to be the conclusion to this character's journey, and as such the devs decided to throw int multiple endings!

If they ever bring him back in the future, I wonder which ending will be canon (maybe all of them?)

I had a great time with this one.

Game is just awesome. It gets better with each version. I'm addicted to these puzzles!

nice puzzle game with multiple endings

Amazing continuation of the series. The Room games are easily the best puzzle games on Steam.

Great improvements to a formerly good game, can't wait to play part 4. Amazing story and intriguing puzzles. Gameplay is kinda tacky in my opinion. 9/10 would recommend

Overall, I love this series which is one of the best for puzzle games. The third installment continued the story line from the previous two with many interesting and unique challenges. I especially liked the maze. However, I did find the alternate endings to be tedious and underwhelming. Mostly these became fetch quests without any driven purpose and no hints. I completed them for the achievements using online guides, but was definitely ready for the game to end. Still recommend for puzzler fans even if they skip the extra endings.

An incredibly good "escape room" type game and the best one in the series. I finished the entire series twice a few years ago and I was still very lost playing it now. There is so much detail in every room.

Also, don't skip the notes and lore fragments in each game, it adds so much to the experience.

All the room games are amazing, run to the closest store!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing puzzles and definitely harder than the previous two! Still all of the puzzles are quite intuitive as long as you're observant for each piece. Even when I had gotten stuck, I was able to make progress little by little in a reasonable amount of time before eventually getting to a breakthrough in solutions. Loved it! Excited to start Room 4 after this review lol

Very fun gameplay
unfortunaly had to rely on guides for the different endings

The hardest and most frustrating of the rooms, however the story fills out and ends nicely................or does it?
Look for hidden puzzles to see it all. I mean hidden, if you got items that don't work anywhere it goes to something. I guarantee you.

My favorite entry in this series. The setting for this entry is more interconnected with every act, in contrast to the last entry. There's a main lobby of sorts, so the opportunity for solutions grew a lot. There's also multiple endings, so this one has the most replayability yet. Highly recommend.

My favourite of the three games so far. Great vibes, intuitive "spatial puzzles" and fetch quests. Definitely recommend!

The central hub world with its branching rooms works really well and never feels overwhelming. The use of the lens to go on short journeys is really nice, and you never have to worry that you've missed something there.

Building off of Room 2, the vibes and locations are excellent. In particular the use of the zoetrope and mechanical Turk were really nice.

I needed hints about once per room, and the hint system is pretty great. The first hint usually just tells you what area you should be in, without giving much away.

Two places that could be improved

1. It's hard to tell when you're missing an object vs just doing it wrong

2. The ending(s) need to be reworked

cool game! Graphics are astonishing as usual, and the storytelling is also amazing!

The Room series is the best video game series from the mind of HP Lovecraft. 5/5

Changing rooms is too slow, backtracking for endings is an absolute waste of time. Can't recommend.

It's bigger and slightly more complex than the previous titles. Has some very entertaining slightly "spooky" moments.
Props for the solution for multiple endings: You don't have to restart the whole game, but you can continue from the latest checkpoint, just before you go to the final boss puzzle.

Another great puzzler from Fireproof. Longer than the two previous games combined, and I felt challenged without ever being too frustrated. The hub structure was an interesting change, and I appreciated how it offered longer, overarching puzzles versus the instanced ones which make up the main progression of the game. If you liked The Room 1 and 2, you'll almost certainly like this.

I would love to say i love it because i really want to. you see at the end when getting back on the train the screen freezes white and nothing else happens . is that the end? checked some online google walk throughs so i know it isn't. really disappointed but well hope others can get through it

Very fun and challenging! Definitely got stumped more than once. And it has a fun bit of lore to theorize about along the way but keeps the mystery going strong!

Absolutely awesome puzzle game. Hope to see more games from this developer in the future!

Amazing game with great puzzles.

The first two games were kind of satisfying, not-too-hard puzzle games with the inkling of an interesting story going on in the background. This one starts to pay off a lot of those threads and ideas, and all four endings are cool (although now I'm eager to move on to game Four).

A solid game - I like how each successive title gets more complex and fun while maintaining the intriguing continued storyline. This game has 4 different endings to achieve, but they do you the kindness of letting you retain the progress and items you gained along the way

A great puzzle game! Has difficulty, but nothing unreasonable and has hints available if desired. The only annoying thing is having to wait real time for the clock to open up in the hub, but that isn't needed for most of the content and there's an audio cue when it does if you're in another area of the hub.

I loved the first two Room games, but this one is beyond amazing. Wild, delicious imaginations ran rampant to create this one. Just got through Chapter 5 with no hints. Just kept poking around with an open mind. Lots of fun if you love really cool puzzles.

Excellent puzzles, if a tad obtuse sometimes. That final grand puzzle to unlock the extra endings had me resorting to a guide because I got halfway there, but couldn't work out some of the other steps. Looking forward to part 4 since no matter which ending is canon it's bound to be an interesting journey!
