What can I say about this game?
Do you like puzzles? If the answer is yes, play it :)
If not, give it a try anyway XD
I was super interested in this game when I first saw it but, to tell you the truth, I was also a bit worried about the controls being awkward.
That is because you use your mouse (your pointer) as you’d use your hand if you actually were in front of those objects. Instead I’m glad to say that the controls were smooth enough to let me play withouth worries :)
I also think this would play great on a touch device or, even better, in a VR environment.
There’s not much story in this game: just some notes jotted down by someone.
The rest is up to you and your logic so don’t forget to turn your brain on first =P
Achievements are all story related but please, PLEASE!, do not play this for the achievements only, perhaps following a guide step by step; you’ll be missing out on that feeling of search and discovery, plus the accomplishment when you finally get something and move on. Promise you’ll give it an honest try first, ok? Thanks :*
I picked up both of them in those available on Steam during the fall sale (luckily, as they are more expensive now for some reason >_>).
I was a bit concerned about controls too, as the series originates on touch screen devices, but they were fine, and as you said the feeling of slowly unlocking the Thing™ is really satisfying. I recommend the second one too if you haven’t already put it on your radar
Thanks, I’ve grabbed both in that occasion too ;)
Played this because it was added to last month’s theme list (and later removed, but I had already installed it) but I didn’t want to play the second shortly after because then I’d have finished them :\
I was keeping it for when I’d be really craving for such games =P but while writing this “review” I read on their site that there are two more installments (only for iOS/android atm) so I think I’ll wait a bit more and then play it ;)
While checking the play store I saw The Room 3 was on sale so I bought it I don’t even play games on my phone what’s wrong with me ahem :3
hehehe it happens!
