The Room Two

So today I'm just going to make a quick note about a pair of games that have absolutely blown me away, but I don't want to make this a novel so hold tight for your quick look at The Room and The Room Two, from Fireproof Games.

Both games are basically the same concept.  If you know what a room escape game is, you can safely skip over the rest of this paragraph, just watch out for the spikey pit at the end.  A room escape game is a game that has the player searching through items, cabinets, drawers, or whatever else is around, so that they can unlock the next puzzle and eventually the next door to leave to the next room.  Wash, rinse, repeat.  If you don't like puzzles, logical or optical, then this kind of game probably isn't for you.

Welcome back skippers.  Now The Room, if you ask me, is the game that ruined all other room escape games for me.  It's got fantastic graphics, excellent intuitive controls, clever puzzles, and is easily the most fun I've ever had in that kind of puzzle.  The ambiance of the hauntingly perfect music just finishes the deal, and that combined with the top notch graphics give a really immersive experience that's only problem is the chance of losing your whole afternoon before you realize it.

The Room did feel a touch short once I was finished, but never once did I regret the purchase because it was so clever and fun.  The Room Two I've not finished yet, but it carries everything I said above, except it seems notably longer, with more puzzles, and just as much fun.  I find myself looking for time where I'm waiting for something to open so I can arrive early and play while I wait.

So my final thoughts, you really should try these games.  The Room is available for $1 on the google play store, and The Room Two is $3, though at the time I'm writing it, The Room Two is also available on Humble Bundle as well, so go check it out somewhere.  You won't regret it!
