    While point-and-click fans will love every second, The Room is good enough to convert all but the most stringent naysayers to its cause.

    The Room is a gorgeous, unique, and mentally stimulating exercise in mechanical puzzle-solving that's steeped in atmosphere. It's a gauntlet of challenges worth running through.

    Fireproof have constructed a contemporary Myst for an ever more discerning gaming audience and we're gagging to see what they come up with for the hopefully inevitable sequel. [Christmas 2012, p.98]

    While it lasts it's an elegant and engaging game, one that builds an atmosphere of dark experimentation. You don't know quite where your search will take you, but it seems it won't be good.

    Stand it beside Papa Sangre and they make a strong argument for design that begins with the technology first, refusing to force an idea onto it without contemplation - and this makes The Room feel necessary and unique, providing something unavailable elsewhere.

Great puzzle, deducing logic game, one of the best I've played. My favorite aspect of this game is how the game logic makes sense. You don't have to just randomly try different objects with the environment. And when you figure out a puzzle, its very satisfying. The game also has a great mysterious, creepy atmosphere. I hope they continue this series!… Expand

    I must say, I am a little disappointed. I was promised a journey of tough intellectual challenge and yet the game proved to be quite simple.I must say, I am a little disappointed. I was promised a journey of tough intellectual challenge and yet the game proved to be quite simple. The progress is mostly a matter of carefully searching the box and checking whether the goggles wouldn't share any new light on the environment. There were actually no puzzles that required any hard thinking, just: find this, plug it there, use your magic goggles, explore, find another thing and then the same all over again.

    That is not to say I didn't like the game, I was just hoping for some more rewarding experience.    … Expand
