Play Overview
The Room (2014) is a puzzle game where you wake up trapped inside a room that you can only escape by solving the locked-box puzzle at its centre. Play involves poking and prodding the puzzle to discover possible interactions that you then use to solve it. It stands out not only for the tactile puzzles, but the mysterious atmosphere and narrative in which they sit.
You are faced with a series of ornate, mechanical boxes and contraptions. To discover their secrets and leave the room, you must use the touch interactions to manipulate them and discover hidden compartments. At first, this seems like trial and error, but you soon notice clues on what interactions may be possible.
As you progress, you develop your skills of observation and deduction to solve ever more complex and convoluted conundrums. This can involve finding and using other tools or clues in specific sequences.
The result is a puzzle-based escape room with a particular focus on tactile exploration and intricate problem-solving. This creates a nonlinear puzzle that encourages curiosity and experimentation in a richly atmospheric environment.
