[WIP] THE ROOM (Horror, Thriller) [23k words]

I enjoyed what I played so far, though I either reached the end of the demo or hit a bug after meeting Enrico on the second loop and couldn’t proceed past that part.

I’m a big fan of time loops and the escape-the-room game genre, so I’m looking forward to seeing what you have in store. I’m curious if you’re envisioning a proper puzzle game we can logic our way out of (in the vein of The Room, Escape Simulator, or Forever Lost), or more of an iterative horror experience (in the vein of Restore, Reflect, Retry)?


The sun is shining. Today is going to be a good day.

I hope.

Is “I hope” meant to be in first person here?


If you use *text_image instead of *image CS will automatically invert the image in nightmode.

The images in this game are black text on a transparent background, so it’d be a cinch to swap the *image commands for *text_image ones.

What truly matters is what you think.

Do you agree with this “someone”? Could anyone or anything claim how many rooms exist?

Not that this rhetorical question needed an answer, but I think this is a definition issue. What is a room? Is an open concept kitchen/living room one room or two? Is a screened in porch a room? Is a dollhouse room a room? What about a closet? A freezer? A locker? A really big locker? Is a room only large enough for babies to fit in a room? What about a room for ants?

Regardless, unless Hilbert’s Hotel is lurking somewhere, I don’t think there are infinite rooms. Physical ones, at least.


I like smooth jazz, much to the consternation of the real jazz fans and people with actual music taste in my life.

Hey, some people like elevator music–we’re out there. All ten of us.
