Brilliant mystery box puzzler The Room makes its console debut on Switch this month
Developer Fireproof Games has announced that its superb, award-winning mystery box puzzler The Room will be heading to Switch on October 18th.
The Room, for those who've yet to have the pleasure, plays out something like a reverse room escape game, with the entire experience focussed on a lavish, intricately designed puzzle box in the centre of a single, shadowy room. Progress requires players to explore the contraption carefully, twisting, poking, and prodding away to reveal its ever-more fiendish machinations, and to uncover another, deeper layer.
It's an exceedingly clever puzzler, and unusually tactile thanks to a touch control scheme which closely mimics the various physical manipulations you'll need to do to the box on-screen. It's also a richly atmospheric, surprisingly unnerving experience, as you toil away in the gothic gloom of an ancient attic of a long-abandoned home.
