When I sent information about this game, I knew that I had to review it. Crimson Room Decade is about a man who wakes up in a locked room, and he has to find a way out. Considering that I have written a book called The Labyrinth House which deals with a man trapped in a mansion that he cannot escape.

So I have a personal interest. The issue is, this game is much harder than the world I created for my protagonist Bradley Jensen, and it takes a lot of perseverance.

This is one of those games that is a puzzle solver, which means that you have to look at everything in order to figure out the puzzle. This would sound simple because you are in a room that only has a set of drawers, a curtained window, and a bed. The thing is that I have practically tried everything that I can try in this room. I say “practically” because I’m sure there are things that I haven’t tried, otherwise the game would be solved.

It took me a few hours before I made a breakthrough, but it has been a while since I made another one. I definitely don’t want to commit puzzle video game mortal sin by finding some online hint. When I start doing that, it’s like cheating.

Much of the images that I saw of this game are in the same room, so I have no idea if this game ever just leaves it. This is not to say that you can’t have a good game with just one room, but you need to ask yourself if the $9.99 price is worth it on Steam. I’m going to recommend that you do, if you like puzzles, and I feel weird as a puzzle-book writer not being able to solve it…yet.
