Have You Played... The Room?https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/have-you-played-the-roomMatthew CastleMon, 28 Jan 2019 07:30:52 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/have-you-played-the-roomFeatureThe RoomPuzzleHave You Played

I’ve never understood why The Room is called The Room and not The Box. Yes, the box is in a room, but your eyes are so drawn to this ornate toy that you don’t ponder what is happening around you. And it really is a good game about boxes: the mystery of what’s inside them, the thrill of prising one open and… er, that’s about it. But that’s arguably everything that is good about boxes. (Okay, so stamping them flat for recycling is also good fun, but that would make for quite a brief puzzle game.) The important thing, is that Fireproof do both of these things very well.

Wot I Think: The Room Twohttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-room-two-review-pcJohn WalkerWed, 06 Jul 2016 12:00:05 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-room-two-review-pcFeatureReviewsHorrorThe Room ThreeWot I ThinkThe RoomThe Room Two

"Presumably we can hope for The Room Two [official site] on PC some time in 2016," I presciently wrote when reviewing The Room back in 2014. I am a truly great soothsayer. And the reason it takes this long for the hit mobile games to reach the PC is because developers Fireproof are remaking them from the ground up, to survive the transition from weeny phone screens to looming monitors. The result is, I'm pleased to report, splendid. If remarkably gloomy. Here's wot I think:

The Room, BAFTA winning mobile puzzling mega-hit, has at last reached the PC in HD glory. I've slid my bottom into the slot on my chair, pressed the button that popped up on my mouse, and rotated my head until it faces the screen, which caused a mechanical whirring sound and the revealing of wot I think:

Word To The Wiseau: The Room Coming To PChttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/word-to-the-wiseau-the-room-coming-to-pcAdam SmithWed, 23 Jul 2014 09:00:50 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/word-to-the-wiseau-the-room-coming-to-pcThe Room

Oh, how I enjoyed my time in The Room. A hit on cleverphones and tablets, the spooky puzzle game creates as strong a sense of place as almost anything else I've ever played. Admittedly, as the title suggests, it's not recreating a vast wilderness - in fact, the title could well be The Box rather than The Room, since most of the playtime involves exploring the surfaces and secrets of a tricksy container. The long-awaited (and at this point unexpected, by me at least) PC version will have mouse support but it's the rare game that I'll probably play on my laptop, with the fondlesome screen. That means braving Windows 8, but a game as tactile and textured as this deserves a personal touch.
