The Cinema Rosa

I've changed my review after a critical bug has been fixed by the devs. The game is ok, it grants a couple of hours of easy puzzle-solving and some nice sequences. Story is not much intense and slow-paced, more based on feelings than impact. There's one scenario, the cinema, which will tell us details of the story room after room. Graphics are simple but ok, the same for sounds and voices.

Lavishly designed world, with an engrossing story. A short but impactful game.

The Cinema Rosa is a game I probably wouldn't have played if not for a chance posting on Reddit asking what my favourite movie was. I gave an answer and a while later a Steam code was in my inbox. I'm not usually a fan of point and click games. I did like this game though. The sound and graphics are very good, and I am a fan of the story inside the game. The puzzles can be a little, well, puzzling to solve, but the clues are there if you're willing to search for them. Controls...if you're using keyboard and mouse, there's no problems with that scheme. I probably would have preferred using the mouse buttons for the use and flashlight controls, but using E and F were not a problem. My XBox 360 controller worked well most of the time, but there were times when my character would drift left or right when I moved straight. I didn't map the buttons for the use and flashlight...that probably would have helped. First playthrough, I found a few times where I went through a doorway and ended up in a previous portal. This happened about two or three times. Second playthrough, these issues had disappeared. I've noticed a few bug fix messages on the store page, so this is a developer who listens to players and gets right to work implementing fixes to problems. This is a short game; you're probably going to get two or three hours out of it. But I assure you, it will be an entertaining two or three hours. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzles and mysteries.

An enjoyable short puzzle game / walking simulator. Good balance of atmosphere. Some of the puzzles are a little tricky but overall I enjoyed it. Approx 2 hours worth of game play.

Hängt sich jedes Mal im Ladebildschirm auf. Schade.

The gameplay is around 2 hour, don't think you will need more then 3 lets say. There is a few riddle, and quite original moments, I love specially the real reference to actors and movies of the past. I know they are on the way to solve some bugs and right now I had problem playing this title specially with some interacting bug with my mouse, really annoying. And my game had no savegame even if you can really finish this in one gameplay. I would like to give more than a 6/10 but the game is really short and have some bug still. Story and originality are a really good point.
