After playing The Room, I picked this up at full price ($5) and don't regret it. That's less than a typical movie, and it took a few hours to complete. I recommend it at that price, but you'll get a great deal in a Steam Sale.

It has a lot of great puzzles, making you take a moment to think about the next step, and in some cases a single revelation allows you to steamroll remaining puzzles in the room.

It does have some problems, mostly due to being a phone/tablet game ported to the PC.
- The mouse-only controls can get annoying when viewing items; some sort of axis modifier/holder would greatly improve this
- What can be interacted, and how, is too often guessing/random clicking. As an example: one puzzle was started by rotating an existing knob, but the knob resembled previous puzzles where you had to find the missing half of it. Randomly trying to interact I somehow missed being able to turn it, and it took a hint for me to try again and move on.
- Some interactions were repeated multiple times in the same location and became tedious. One puzzle sequence requires you to type out words many times, and is made all the more annoying by forcing you to type with the mouse (rather than allowing you to just use your own keyboard to type it out)

If there's a Room Three, it would be great for these to be addressed.
