The Room 2 (IOS)

[Dogg Thang]

Thanks for the heads-up. Had no idea there was a third coming. Really going to enjoy this.

best series on the App store bar none, for all the crap on there this really stands out and well worth the money. amazing.

Just finished The Room 3. A fantastic experience. Very smooth and loved the puzzles. I found it to be much more enjoyable than 2 - the progression felt more natural. Not as creepy but it wasn't going for that vibe this time.

Nice!

I'll be grabbing this shortly...

I love the change your Fate bit where you can go for the other puzzles you couldnt do on your first run through. Will go through for the multiple endings, loved the puzzles i really dont tire of these games.

Would love a full length game with dozens of rooms.

Yeah being able to go back in is good, although there isn't much to the added endings. Only one puzzle stumped me (which was stupidly obvious once I realised!) and once I had that I got all the endings soon after each other.

Lovely game experience. Might replay the first two.

Have to say with all the rubbish on the APP store, these games are just so good they need to Played , i thought 3 was the best of the bunch, althought they are all amazing pieces if work.

Alas, I'm getting bored of the Room 3.

I loved the first two and wanted them to go on for longer but I can't wait to wrap this one up. I'm on the observatory bit and mostly just keep randomly tapping the screen.

Unlike with the first two I decided to play with hints off from the start but recently I'm switching hints on if I get completely stuck. When the hint tells me what to do it's almost always something daft that I missed, and the puzzles themselves rarely feel like brainteasers. Nine times out of ten the solution to a problem is a button underneath a table two feet away.

I might try the first two again down the line because I liked those. The second one was also really creepy. Three has a few jump scares and eery stuff going on but not to the same extent. I can't fault the scale, though.

Your first few paragraphs describe my experience with the second one to an extent. Odd, I didn't find it as much with this one. You're right that this one isn't creepy though. Feels like quite a deliberate choice for some reason, but I don't know what that reason might be.
