Use an ornate eyepiece to uncover hidden messages, decipher codes and unlock sophisticated mechanisms, stepping you closer to the truth behind the cryptic letters that led you here while pulling you deeper into The Room's mysteries.

Entrancing Artwork: Blurring the lines between the physical world and fantasy with stunningly realistic visuals, The Room invites players to lose themselves in a world of ornate wonder.

Nintendo Life said:

The quality of The Room and the atmosphere it conjures is undeniable, and it’s certainly worth checking out if you haven’t played before. It’s a pleasure to see some well-implemented pointer controls added to a classic touchscreen title, and the fact that this seminal release is now available on a dedicated gaming device is cause for celebration. Be aware that it’s a slight offering by home console standards, though – it’s crying out to be part of a compilation release with its three sequels. Perhaps one for the Wishlist, then, but it’s a winner while it lasts.

7/10
