Review: As far as “escape the room” games go The Other Room isn’t a bad one at all. With some tricky puzzles, pretty great graphics and a weird, mystery storyline to go with it which leave you wondering what is going on. While I found the controls to be pretty responsive I do wish they were a little more exact about what each puzzle requires of you, maybe a hint system would also be a help. The Other Room has the potential to be something great, but its held back by silly little niggles that put people off playing it. I feel the price is about right for the amount of puzzles you get, but it might be best to wait for a few updates to make the game that little bit more playable.
