    If you’re familiar with indie horrors and have played many before, then this one is probably not for you. The game’s proportions of narrative and horror are heavily skewed towards the narrative with non-scary puzzle solving seated alongside it. I can see the many positives with Narin: The Orange Room and think that overall, it does deserve the positive reviews it currently has on Steam. It certainly is not the worst game I’ve played. On the flip side, it certainly is not the best either. Unfortunately, I think that’s just how things will stay too.

    Narin: The Orange Room is a short but visually striking indie horror puzzle game that captures attention with its strong atmosphere and distinct art direction, though it struggles to fully deliver on its narrative ambitions. While its moody environments and evolving puzzle design show clear promise, issues with pacing, localization, and storytelling cohesion prevent it from reaching its full potential, making it an intriguing but uneven debut.

    Narin: The Orange Room is a faltering experience in several respects that, despite having some decent foundations and a fairly interesting story, pays a very high price: it fails to actually scare the player. Even if we were willing to overlook the dated gameplay and the technical issues scattered here and there, we cannot ignore the pronounced repetitiveness that envelops the entire experience. Let’s be frank: the overall formula didn’t convince us, especially considering that the protagonist seems more inclined to deliver monologues rather than feel the tension of survival in a context that is completely hostile to her. If you’re a fan of the genre (and considering the low price), you might still want to give it a chance, though you’ll have to accept a few too many flaws. And if you’ll allow us one piece of advice: set the dialogue language to Thai—at least the protagonist will gain a lot more personality.
