Sound effects are spot-on when interacting with levers, sliders, and buttons, and a unique one plays for specific actions such as equipping a lens, collecting an inventory object, or as hints are revealed. When not playing, there is a sound of emptiness (like the low, faint hum you hear when alone in a closed room that is otherwise silent) which is spooky and adds nicely to the atmosphere. It never gets repetitive, in part because it does not continue all the time, stopping completely at particular parts of the game. In the beginning, the background music is subtle and soothing, but becomes more ominous as you progress. The room, box and inventory items are rendered in hi-definition 3D with smooth manipulation of objects and transitions between views. The graphics and sound on PC are far superior to the mobile version. Hotspots are not indicated so you’ll have to guess which elements might be interactive, but since the play area is very confined this does not prove to be an issue. Initially developed for mobile devices, the interface transfers well to the PC, with a double-click replacing the double-tap to zoom in, move or interact, right-click replacing the “expand” gesture to zoom out, and click-and-drag replacing the swipe movement to manipulate objects or rotate the camera.
Before you begin poking around, an unskippable tutorial walks you through the game mechanics. Your task in The Room is to unlock the secrets of this box using the clues and tools provided.
With no explanation, you find yourself in a darkened room, perhaps an attic of some kind with a single lamp and window illuminating only a mysterious safe-like box sitting on a table. The first game in Fireproof Games’ series is certainly a solid opening entry, with great puzzles and an atmospheric (if rather claustrophobic) presentation. With the latest chapter (Old Sins) currently available for mobile devices, and the first three games now available on PC, now seems like a good time to evaluate the series to date.
