Dark Room

The game would be fine if it wasn't for the overly cryptic puzzles. Clues are scattered all over the house, unclear what puzzle they belong to, sometimes almost invisible. Most of the time the clues are nowhere enough to find the solution and a lot of trial & error is required. Someone may like this sort of gameplay, but spending an hour on a puzzle just because the clues are so vague, is not my thing.

i really liked the story and the idea behind it. the puzzles are kinda on the hard side unlikely for a point & click game. the only few things that bothered me about the game is the slow movement (it need a second or two for the new area to load) and the picture assembly puzzle. over all i recommend this though you will need less than 3 hours to finish it.

This would be a really good game if not for the annoying puzzles. I know that a lot of point and click games involve tough puzzles that make you think hard to figure them out, which is fine, if you get stuck there's usually a walkthrough that can help with that- but some of these puzzles were plain tedious and didn't involve actual logic, just moving tiles around etc, which wouldn't be so bad if they could be skipped. Those that were logic based could be very confusing, one in particular was so nonsensical I just looked up a walkthrough as I got that fed up with it. I actually played about an hour of it before, left it for ages then decided to start over as I couldn't remember anything from the first time playing, including why I didn't finish playing... and then remembered when hit with the first moving-tiles-around puzzle. I also buy point and click games precisely to avoid having to use any kind of speed or dexterity and one particular 'puzzle' was such a nuisance for this reason, I gave up in the end before getting irritated to the point of hurling my laptop at the wall. Only my personal taste, some people might enjoy these types of puzzles, but the issue I have really is that there's no way to skip them if you start losing the will to live.

E' un gioco punta e clicca che consiglierei. Bene l'atmosfera. Bene anche i puzzle di difficoltà variabile. C'è tuttavia una cosa che ho davvero gradito poco. In un gioco in cui l'esame degli ambienti, la ricerca e l'interpretazione degli indizi la fanno da padrona (come in tutti i giochi Myst like), perchè inserire anche un irritantissimo e ansiogeno simil Pac-Man? In giochi come questo non dovrebbe esserci "azione"... Per quella ci sono gli "sparetutto", no?

Dark Room is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game is a static image adventure game where you tap on hotspots on your iPhone screen to manage your inventory and move from static scene to static scene, a bit like how adventure games used to be before Kings Quest. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features somewhat lazy, static 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in (get it? Because it's a mobile app???) like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. Because this is a mobile app, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the iPhones that the game was designed for, like having the resolution locked and so on. These are unfortunate handicaps and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was an afterthought for the iPhone developers who are to blame for this. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for mobile phones forces upon a game. Once more, mobile devs have made gaming worse for everyone. I didn't spend thousands on building a gaming rig just so I could pretend it's an iPhone. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game only ever reached a peak player count of only 11 players. That's right, only 11. This is a very poor showing, and worse, now the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is remarkable, but also to be expected. This complete and utter rejection of the game from gamers should be a keen information point for anyone considering buying shovelware like this. Gamers just didn't take this seriously, and for good reason. PC gamers don't like mobile apps. Dark Room is relatively cheap at $3 USD (similarly priced on the app stores), but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

its great and brilliand

Jogo curto mas dá pra queimar uns neurônios tentando descobrir como resolver os puzzles. A história parece interessante, mas termina num "continua" que é um pouco triste.
